Photos of large model aircraft from two recent events over my way, firstly at Hausen am Albis (Switzerland) on October 7th and then last Sunday the exhibition "Faszination Modellbau" (Germany) at Messe Friedrichshafen.
F/A-18C of the Swiss Air Force
Moraine Saulnier M.S.406 (Or D-3801?)
North American F-100 Super Sabre
Pilatus PC-24 and Buran shuttle in the foreground
Antonov An-225 from which the Buran was launched during flight and glided back down to the runway at Hausen am Albis
Austrian Air Force SAAB J-35 Draken
Friedrichshafen exhibition:
I'm not much into helis, but I thought these CH-46 Sea Knight models were good
This aims to be the world's largest and most complex model aeroplane. This Concorde is just over 10 metres long, weighs nearly 150kg and will be powered by four JetCat engines:
Builder is Otto Widlroither of Freilassing, Germany.
DH Venom. Note the later Swiss nose cone
Spitfire PR.XIX
In addition to aircraft, there were also trains, steam engines, earth moving vehicles, tanks, quadcopters, skiers / snow equipment, submarines, yachts, ships (many tugs and ships looking like they belong to the oil & gas industry) but this appealed to me because it's close to something I would like to build:
