Hi All

Just a quick note to let you know that I saw that the 1/144 Zvezda Fairy Battle has arrived, as well as the 1/200 Sb-2 and 1/100 Cruiser Mk4

The fairey looks great!

Will need to add it to the collection! Those zvezda planes paint up nicely!

[Techno]

They look rather spiffy.

OO, cheers for the Battle piccy!

That's a definite for the AVBCW forces

I got their Po-2 biplane the other month and painted up lovely, just need to decide which faction it's for

[petercooman]

I still need their biplane, the german spotterplane and then this one.

I always wait untill there are a few new ones to order togheter, saves on shipping.

Shame their bombers and transports are 1/200 instead of 1/144, or i would buy them all! I just can't bring myself to mix the scales on the table.

[toxicpixie]

It doesn't look bad together with aircraft, IMO - once they're on flight stands and all buzzing around as markers I don't really notice the difference unless it's huge

The Po-2 is a lovely little beastie. I popped a couple of Peter Pigs WW1 crew in as well, with silk scarves a fluttering and goggles firmly on - they look ace!

Vic, thanks for sharing this. Their PO-2 is at a decent price.  The rest of the prices confirm want good value the 'cottage industries' like Pendraken actually are.

Just picked up the Fairey Battle this afternoon as a birthday present from the family . Can't get to open it until Sunday though .

If your going for VBCW you could modify as a floatplane:-



Not real but from this website (lots of good ideas):-

Oo, that's funky! I don't know I there's much open water round here to fly them off. Frankley Resevoir or the canals maybe?!

Hi TP

You could always add rotors and make it into a gyrocopter  .

Then it could land in most bodies of water.

I've just made an Aichi Grace into an autogyro (with Stuka undercarriage) for a character in my pulpy stuff -

Angus "Stormy" Skye, the Air Ranger (takes the place of the Lone Ranger in my interwar Pony Wars setup)

Love the idea of a floatplane as it would fit in nicely with my AVBCW forces .

[toxicpixie]

@GrumpyOldMan - I do like me a bit of pulp fun But autogyro's in AVBCW is a step past reality for me. And yes, I am aware of how utterly daft that statement is But a float plane version... tempting... Frankley Water isn't far from the Longbridge Plant where the Birmingham Union Militia are based, so...
