4 "weird" new models

Sorry for the bad pictures (reflections), I still have to unpack them.

Let's start with the first 2. The first one is the Zeppelin Staaken and the second one is the Handley Page 0/400 bomber, both from WW1, scale 1:144. These models are from the game "Wings of Glory". I'm not a player but when I heard that there were models of bombers of WW1 ... Of course, there is little (or no) diecast and the details are not so good as HM or CW. But I'm fascinated by these massive airplanes without any aerodynamics and still "capable of flying". And where else you can find pre-assembled bombers of WW1 ?

And then we have 2 "Luftschiffe". Both scale 1:1250. These are heavy, so diecast. They are from the German Mail (Deutsche Post Philatelie, Giganten der Lüfte). The first one has a length of about 20 cm, the second 10 cm. I have no more information (maybe German members have ?). There should be 6 different models.

I like these 4 models. Finally I have some models from the beginning of aviation.

I unpacked one of the bombers: the Zeppelin Staaken. It is no diecast, scale 1:144. Considering that it is not a model for collecting but a model for playing a war game, it is a nice model. See pictures: a pre-assembled bomber of WW1.

Would love to see the Zeppelins on their stands once you have unboxed them. These are all very cool

I have a bunch of Wings of Glory models. I think for ~$10-15 for the small planes they are good. I have mostly 1/200 WW2, and a handful of the 1/144 WW1 planes.

Why are they holding barbells for landing gear?
