I recently found myself in the same situation when I began collecting planes for the Flying Tigers mini-campaign. Poly-S makes a whole series of accurate WWII...
When it comes to painting planes in the Pacific, there maybe "correct" colors for a nationality, but remember that the planes didn't stay in show room...
All good points, and very true. The last thing I do to my planes before clearcoating is give them an overall wash of Burnt Umber craft acrylic paint and "Magic...
thanks for the photos I have been trying to decide between navwar and scotia, this is helpful. do you have Raiden Miniatures? is there a big difference in size...
Give me about a week and I will have some comparison photos between Raiden and Scotia, at least Bf-109s. Raidens are very nice, but I think they are a bit...
I have just read, The Martin B-26 Marauder by J.K. Navener and I am reading Bomber Pilot by Philip Ardery, both good books by the way. Well anyway, after...
Typically, how we approach the bomber guns is that the gunner has the ability to unjam the gun or reload the weapon when it is empty. but you may want to put...
To express a humble opinion on this subject, having served as armorer for crew chief qualifications in helicopters; the crew chiefs, being after all qualified...
For Bombers Jammed Guns should also represent wounded or dead crewmen. From what I have read that was the greatest cause of gun position stoppages. True gun...
According to the two books I cited, stoppages did occur. It was not from the gun jammed, but poor fire discipline. The gunners would heat up the barrels by...
Ummmm, check pictures of the actual HE-111s, the nose was off-set to give the pilot more vision because of the design of the plane. No "stepped" windshield in...
A couple of you asked if I had any Raiden miniatures painted. I said that I would get some finished soon. Here are some comparison photos of Bf-109, between...
I have a number of Raiden models and I have found that they are true 1/285, meaning that if you place them right next to a 1/300 scale plane of the same type...

Did your He-111s have a lot of flash? So far that is my only complaint about the Falcon Miniatures that I bought on E-bay. I have probably have 5 to 10...
There was some flash but my biggest complaints with Falcon is that the mold lines don't always line up well and the wings have the same thickness across so...
Yes, I agree about the wings. That is why I used the Dremel. MIke ... From: jetjr2001 To: cy6@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 10:18 PM Subject:...
while playing the game, an airplane being tailed performed a split s. the tailing airplane tries to follow but my understanding of the rules is that to perform...
Alberto, Remember that tailing isn't an exact science. The tailed player informs the tailer in general terms what move has been plotted. A split-s is simply...
Guys- I would suggest that gun problems are already accounted for in the hit rates of bomber guns - of course you are free to make whatever changes you want to...
I like EM4's clear plastic flying bases: http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/MINIAATURES_BASES.html Being fairly small and made of clear plastic, they have...
