Title: Armaments in Minature 1/200 aircraft
Post by: Sunray on 30 April 2016, 11:25:24 AM
This is an American based firm best known for 15mm.  However I see they have a VERY extensive range of 1/200 scale resin aircraft (ww2- modern) and things like SAM 2 missiles in the pipe line.

I don't do air war games, so the aircraft in my current BKC and CWC are just eye candy, so may well order a few and see how they blend.
At times 1/144 is just that little bit big.

Prices start at $4 for a Thunderjet or Hawker Sea Harrier.   Dave Schmid the proprietor does paypal and resin is relatively light for airmail.

They just look big because they're closer to you.

Small ... faraway! ;)

Yes  :o ! The Miniature Wargames  used to do that in their pictures with figures of different scales. It was so sad. I preferred images of real wargames so one might pick up a few tips about painting and basing. 

Instead we had images taken by a chap called Richard Ellis who would plonk a big Foundry 25mm in the foreground, and a bit further back a Peter Pig 15mm,  and way on the edge of the table a H&R 6mm.

No, I just want a few aircraft reasonably close to 10mm, that don't cost the earth and 'blend' if required.
