Phackinell!

Decided to get back into aircraft modeling. Going to start with the 1/72 Dash-8 thats been in my closet for over a decade. Going to get either some USAir or Piedmont decals for it. Also currently bidding on a 1/72 HP Jetstream. If I win that one will be either United Express or Pan Am. And finally, going to do a Revell FH-227. That one I'm thinking about doing a diorama with, but I can't find any 1/100 GSE (kit is 1/96), closest I can find is 1/72 and that might be way too big. I wonder if 1/144 would work better.

Seems to be some 1:87 floating around out there, not a lot though.

One thing you could try is going 3D-printed, for example here's a pair of baggage tractors:

Those are 1:87, but I bet it'd be 5 minutes' work for the seller to scale them down to 1:100 or even 1:96.

I really need to check the ol modeling closet again. Found a half finished FH-227 kit.... Right after buying another.

Well, Shanwick. Not only did you help me find these pieces. This maker is willing to scale them to 1/96 AND thanks to where I spend half my life, I'm going to get some pictures and measurements of other GSE and he will make them as he has time.

They have a few versions of the VF-25 Messiah.

I have packed away a lot of the VF-0, VF-1 in different versions, VF-19, VF-21, VF-22, and some odd ones. They are up to the SV-51 as the latest,
