Welcome to Orion Miniatures!
We specialize in modeling subjects from the Golden Age of Aviation, a period long neglected by mainstream kit manufacturers. This period comprises the years between 1919 and 1939.
New Stuff!
Our first products are a series of decal sheets for Staaken Bombers from late 1916 onwards. A number of Staaken Aircraft were converted from their military configuration after the war to civilian passenger liners, hence the inclusion here in The Golden Age of Aviation 1919-1939!
We will soon be offering resin conversion sets for these as well. Please come back to see updates.
The decal sheet set and color chart depicting World War I Staaken Lozenge Camouflage is now available for sale, as well as single sets.
The sheets are based on Methuen Color Standards and are printed by Microscale USA. In our opinion, these are the most accurate decal reproduction of WWI aircraft lozenge ever produced.
Gothas!
We will also have our first Gotha sheets arriving in August. These will be or the Gotha G. Va and G. Vb aircraft suitable for the Roden kits and the old Rareplanes vacuform.
We will be reproducing both the 5 Colour Night repeating and non-repeating patterns seen on these aircraft. As shown in these shots, you'll notice the distinct variations in the fuselage and repeating scheme on the flying surfaces.
This is a sample Colour Chart of these colours:
We will also be offering a Special set which includes 3 full sheets of this style of camouflage for all Gotha's, which were seen finished in these colour schemes.
Individual sheets can still be ordered as per the Staaken Sets. All sheets are $16.95 Cdn and the Full LE Gotha Set will retail for $39.95! This will include a Standard Orion Miniatures Colour Chart as well!
Our 5 Colour Upper and Lower Day Camouflage sheets are due this month as well.
Here are the test shots for the selected decal sheets:
These sheets will retail for $16.95 Cdn! Get them while we still have stock!
Last but not least, our Naval Sheets should be arriving any day now and retail for the same $16.95!
This sheet is suitable for all 1917 and Early 1918 Kreigsmarine aircraft.
Time to start building those Brandenbergs and Friedrichschafens!
