Model Aircraft for Aerodrome® 1.1
Aerodrome® 1.1 is a ruleset that can be played in any scale. It is most often played with 1/72nd scale models, but as long as the model aircraft used for a game are of similar scale, other scales will work as well. This page is intended to be a guide to what types of model aircraft are available and where they can be obtained. The focus is on 1/72nd scale models, but others are covered too.

Where To Buy 1/72nd Scale WW1 Aircraft Models
- Over-the-Counter Retail Stores
- Many hobby and some toy stores carry a selection of WW1 model aircraft, although the selection is usually small relative to the number of WW2 aircraft or other models carried. However, most hobby stores can special-order at least some of the current production WW1 aircraft models available.
- Online and Mail Order
- Online and mail order retailers can be a great source for a wide selection of WW1 aircraft model kits, and at discounted prices, too! Here are links to some online retailers:

Current Production 1/72nd Scale WW1 Aircraft Models
Here is a list, by aircraft type and manufacturer, of 1/72nd scale kits that are currently, or at least have recently been, available. These are all plastic, injection-molded kits; vacuum-formed kits have not been listed, as assembly of that type of kit is difficult for any but very experienced modelers. Finally, an asterisk (*) denotes a kit that is normally relatively expensive (above $10 retail), unless found at a substantial discount.

Diecast Metal WW1 Aircraft Models
Don't want to build and paint your own WW1 aircraft? Looking for something already built and painted at a reasonable price? A company called Model Power produces a line (called Postage Stamp Planes) of relatively inexpensive, high-quality diecast model aircraft of all eras; they come fully assembled, painted and decaled. Although Model Power does not produce their models to a consistent scale (the scale of Postage Stamp Plane models varies, by plane, from about 1/200th scale to about 1/48th scale), they do produce several WW1 aircraft models in the same scale - or close enough - so that you can use them together without gross visual inconsistency. Two of their WW1 models are 1/70th scale; close enough to 1/72nd to use them at any standard Aerodrome® 1.1 game! Model Power aircraft models can be found at many hobby and toy stores and at online diecast dealers; they can also be ordered directly from Model Power. Here's the information:
