About the 1250 Scale Producers' Gallery

This photo gallery features mostly unmodified models from a variety of 1250 scale model producers. For scratch-builds and significantly modified models, see the Reader Gallery. For more information about producers of 1250 scale models, see the 1250 Scale Modeling History and General Information  section elsewhere on this site. 

Photography Notes: This photo gallery features models from a variety of 1:1200 and 1:1250 scale producers.  Some of the models may have been enhanced with additional paint work or details by the collector or owner of the model, but for the most part they are not substantially altered from their factory condition.   Because there are so many models in these scales, the gallery concentrates on models that are not easily seen elsewhere.  We may include photos of models found elsewhere on the web, but our present goal is to fill in gaps, rather than simply repeat what is already available to you.   Extensive photo coverage of NAVIS/NEPTUN and ARGOS models are readily found at their respective websites and we recommend that the viewer go to the direct links to their sites, which are found on the 1250 SCALE Main Page, and view those models there.
