3mm 1/600 smaller is bigger in terms of war scale

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Paper clips, cotton bud tubes, and pins in the aircraft to fit the tube. That way you don't need as many stand as you have aircraft......

Works up to F111 in 1/300th, but the B52 in that scale is just a tad heavy.

Paper clips, mounting board and milliputt!

Ok, the cheap & cheerful bargain basement   Always a good place to start!  What's the next up?  Any deals in cheap plastic rod/bases ?

At the opposite (rich) end of the market I was looking at Dropzone "launch assets pack " at £20- I use their medium flight stands for 1/144 games.

The cotton bud tube & pin- now that get's a +1

Hello again

I once saw some very effective aircraft bases that were basically just squares of card/board with an aerial shot printed and glued on them with the wire then 'poked' through. I've attached one I downloaded from Google earth.

Thanks Vic, but I think I will keep the  BKC mantra and avoid airwar - just throw dice for superiority, and play the ground attacks.

The ultimate in air superiority is a tank on the runway.
