Propeller aircraft of the Swiss Air Force as rubber motor models

[ZIP.58]

My model fleet includes several propeller types used by the Swiss Air Force. With the exception of the D-3800 Morane, the models are based on kits that have been optimized in terms of scale. And—they all fly and are flown.
The D-3800/01 was designed and built together with Chris, and we also built the EKW C-3603 in parallel.

Nieuport 23 C-1:  Built from a 1958 Guillows kit and optimized to version 23C.

Fieseler Fi-156 Storch; Dumas kit

EKW C-3603: Short kit from Volare, but massively upgraded to scale.

Morane D-3800: Own design, together with Chris. The D-3800 differs from the D-3801 in its exhaust system and oil cooler. The original D-3801 had a more powerful engine, which required modifications to the exhaust and cooler.

Messerschmitt Me-109E3: A VMC kit from England in the colors of the "Schweizer Fliegertruppe," as the Swiss Air Force was called during World War II.

All three together

And finally, Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter: A kit from Australia formerly distributed by Conrad-Electronic.

Excellent fleet, Peter!

One of my favorite aircraft of WWII (and there are not many) is the Me 108. There is no way I would be doing that in german colors but the swiss livery is most attractive. For the next 5-year plan...
