Title: Helmet Aircraft bombs and bits in 1/200
Post by: Sunray on 02 May 2016, 10:46:42 AM
helmet aircraft see at www.helmet-aircraft-200.co.uk  have an interesting range of bombs and bits that may be of use in 10mm to tart up our aircraft. There is a 60 piece weapons pack at £15, a couple of RAF aircraft tugs, and an amazing range of international decals like a lot of rare Latin America ones - very useful for that little post war AK47 style rumpus .

I have in the past spend a lot of money on aircraft kits (ok, they were cheap £3) I didn't  really want so I could use the bombs and rockets on other models.

Take a look at Scotia for 1/200th WwII aircraft. Those look rather expensive to me.

Yes, the models themselves are quite  rich.  I have no interest in them as such.

However as clarified in the message Subject Title , it was the bombs, decals and bits I was interested in.
Scotia don't do these lines outside their small range of 1/200 aircraft.

OK, gotcha.

I too had read it as Helmet - aircraft, bombs and bits. Capitalisation should have been a clue but we are not known for our accuracy in such things here as FK delights in pointing out :)

Sorry guys- I can see where confusion could arise.

Actually the Scotia range could yield the some small aircraft types for modern wars. You can file resin and shape small types like the Saab Minicom that did so well in African bush wars.

There is a gap in 1/150 for small liaison aircraft that get fitted with modest weapon loads and  a lot of use in such post war conflicts.
