Yeap, have been using the 1:144 sculpts for a while, including the awesome DD-8 seaplane and a niffy Bristol SE-5b with rockets! The 1:100 planes are 15 mm and much larger, but, would look good going in with a 15 mm army, but at a pricey $25 price - all one-to-one scale. It seemed the sculpt didn't have any mg or other weapons or crew. I know there are vendor that sell groups of gunners and pilots, but this just makes it all the most expensive. Maybe one day for my collection. Again, ty for the listings.  |

Madmorgan, I agree. The price is high. However over here (Australia) the price works out to be competitive with buying a regular model aircraft of similar type. Scott's option to buy paper aircraft is obviously the most affordable, and it's already painted For a mission objective though, such as a downed recon aircraft, I'd like to have something made of plastic that's a bit more durable. Additionally, if Ironclad to succeed in doing up aircraft rules, it would be great to have a variety of aircraft to use, not just from the US and England. Similar to how people are doing up their own Prussian forces and the like for land. Craig |

Yep I agree. My 'downed recon' scenario was one of my early attempts into modeling AQ. In that case, I bought a 1/72 biplane kit, put the fuselage in one of AD way too deep 'foxholes', sticking out and put various parts about. I actually found an obscure company that made a 1/72 photographer and old style camera with a case and tripod and put those in the mini diorama for the objective. One day I'll have a new phone with a camera that works so I can show you. Do look at my Aircraft threads, particularly the one before I did at alternative XYZ system, as I'd done a lot of airplanes from all over the world in states which might interest you. The XYZ just makes them usable for AQ as there was too much hassle in getting the original system to work. Simple is the AQ motto.

I'll look forward to your next phone upgrade Craig |
