<P>1/24 is the common commercial aircraft scale . Bearing in mind that prop fighters from the latter part of WW2 are big ,32 ft long 37 ft wide and 8 ft high ,they will still look fairly large in 1/24.</P> <P>one option is to scratch build in wood , not as hard as it might sound for a non flying replica. The plastic kits in this scale are highly detailed and fairly fragile , also likely to suffer badly with weather and UV. </P> <P>Balsa wood if sealed and painted is pretty durable or if you have power sanders ply for wings and maybe a good softwood for fusalage. Thunderbolts , Mustangs and similar are fairly simple ., I have built Triplanes and Biplanes from ply and timber and was suprised at the result when painted . It also means you could look at aircraft that are not available in kit form like DC3, DC4 Boing peashooter ,and even bombers.</P> <P> </P>
