Modern Ranges.

[Leon]

Would it possible to have a plastic aircraft kit section in the modern vehicle range?


Looking on the interweb modern aircraft are very well represented;

We'd like to stock more 1:144th planes, but the sales on the ones we've currently got have been very slow, so we're reluctant to get more stock in.  Aside from the Revell MicroWings, we've only shifted a handful of the other types currently on the website.

Think that could be down to types and cost. We is spoilt by the cheap revell stuff.

Yeah, there's tons of modern stuff in 1/144th. It's the WW2 that's lacking. It's either too expensive or just plain (plane?) lacking.

If you fight with BKC you will need only a few token aircraft: Liaison/reccy, ground attack/light bomber and occasional medium bomber, plus the jump ship for airborne actions. (we don't really need the latter, but it does add a certain  ambiance to the tabletop. and the crashed one always makes a good scenario.)

But I suspect like me, many gamers just like the eye candy an aircraft provides.   And the best war games sport a wide variety of kit on the table.

I can appreciate Pendraken's position. They are not a model shop and can be left with stock overload when the big mail order players cut their prices.   

I purchased the Armory I-16  'Rata' this week. Amazing detail for 1/144 - even etching for the cockpit instruments.  My theory is that in time kit builders will acknowledge the market in 10mm and start to release accordingly.

I tend to use 1/300 aircraft with 10mm figures and 1/144 with 15mm figures.   Might order some more plastics for the Xmas order as I'd forgotten about them.

Just to let you know a T62 is on the cards and they are very different form a T54/55 the road wheels are spaced differently as for a T55 bridge layer speak nicely to DAVE and LEON also oh no I have said to much AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Just got a Jaguar and Tornado for 2.99 each - both Academy, with very odd stores, and a Revell A-10, for 7.99, mainly to arm up the other two. Similar available were Academy MiG 23 and MiG - 29, Revell F-15 E.
