1/300 micro modern NATO aircraft plus Israeli

Not technically NATO but an ex-USA aircraft, I painted this F14  as the IRAF version.







I guess this is obsolete by now. I don't imagine I'll ever get round to building forces for Iran.










I think these Israeli F15s are also unlikely to support a ground offensive. I might re-badge these for the USA.












Somewhere I managed to find the US were still using these ( might have been ten years ago though) I decided i couldn't do without the refualling probe so i scratched one up plus some fual tanks and an AA missile on the starboard wing.











I think an F14 in the older scheme would look better but then I wouldn't be able to play 'Blair's Desert Adventure' with it. And for added ground support...














Now entirely obsolete, this was still carefully guarded high-tech when I painted this F-111 up.






Harier GR mk3
Something to keep my Argentinian A4 Skyhawk busy.












More obsolete stuff, but I guess handy if i want to go back and refight the old Cold War. Two luftwaffe F4s.


That's all for  my modern aircarft -  thanks for looking :)

1/300th 6mm Wellington Bomber

This Wellington bomber is a  poor specimen that has long languished in the detritus of my purgatory for projects ( a.k.a. 'the loft') The model is from heroics and Ros I believe and is intended to support my Allied forces in Tunisia and Italy. It's probably been waiting fifteen years for me to 'magnabase' it. Such a  quick job and yet such a long wait. I wonder if I'll ever get it into battle?

6mm 1/300th WW2 Aircraft

Long time since these saw the light of day but had an opportunity to get my WW2 aircraft onto the wargames table last week. We played a new set of rules I've written to cover any period of conflict. So with the intention of testing the rules to destruction I set up a WW2  game for couple of friends.
I'll post up the rules  another time when I've worked out how to make downloadable pdf files.

For now, I thought I'd post a few pics of the aircraft. Hope you like them.





well...I just had to have one. Maybe a pink one in the future.
Liberator - good in defence and offence



V1s - gotta get'em all.

Macchi or Fiat, who knows - shoot it anyway.



Great arty spotter -  the  Fw189





For those more substantial targets -  bring out the heavies.

Just when you thought you'd seen everything -  here come the reserves -  in a Gigant.

A lonely hurricane, better find some friends soon .

Allied commander's preferred ride - the Auster

Italian Storch - useful over the battlefield as a scout

Hurricanes -  a little obsolete ( and a little too shiny)

Ju87 and its can openers.

Three Me110's  looking for lunch




You can just about see the three 110's starting their run on the Shermans. The Shermans were lucky and took little damage. Not so lucky was the armoured car in the field which was destroyed by the PaK guns which can now been seen running bravely away from danger.
