WWII USAAF Model Workshop

During WWII, enlisted men could end up anywhere, from the Solomons to Iceland. The guys in this picture got lucky – a nice, easy model-building gig at Wright Field, OH. But they’re no slouches, the models they’re turning out in 1942 would look good on any modeler’s shelf today- they’ve even included ground equipment!  Inspiring to see that the scale modeling we enjoy today has a pedigree that goes back more than 80 years.
