Finally!!

**Barkmann** · 08-25-2014 14:27

Finally after a long time ( 1 month and 13 days ) my WWII package arrived.
10 minis and Fire From the Sky set.
Attachment 141297
The minis are much smaller that i thought. But much more detailed that i thought too.
Mounted and ready to go on action.
Attachment 141298
The Axis.
Attachment 141299
The Allies.
Attachment 141300
Lancaster and B-17G (which were not included in the package)
Attachment 141301
Attachment 141302
Detail on the B-17. The crew markings on the Lancaster were very small, so i couldn't do any photos ( mainly with and iPad camera).
Attachment 141313
Besides this i have some questions:
Whats up with the background of these cards?
Attachment 141303
Attachment 141304
And a Stuka with no firing cones?
Attachment 141309
I know the planes in combination dont help in making any realistic scenario. Thats why i plan on expanding the "collection" with paper models, which are fun to make and great mounted.
I thought in making some Thunderbolts with brazilian markings, and this way making a series of AARs based on the Brazilian campaing on Italy.
What do you think?
Thanks

Nick

YAY

**FarEast** · 08-25-2014 15:33

taken with an ipad or iphone I guess?????

**Nightbomber** · 08-25-2014 15:48

No matter the pics' position, Nicolas

. Great you got the minis. I would love to see the planes with Brazilian markings, It would truly enhance our knowledge and fun of the game. Why not starting a special thread with the painting guides of those planes for all of us? Go on!

**Blackronin** · 08-25-2014 15:49

Now you must put your eyes in these miniatures, since you've bought Fire in the Skies:

Thanks

Shapeways make a great Catalina thanks to one of our mates here.
Here's a pic of my painted Aussie one.

I have no words Barry.... Outstanding!
Thanks

He's in Brazil -- of course his pics are inverted. ;)

(The Australians, naturally, haven't noticed. >;) )

Now why didn't I think of doing that. A gaming board on the ceiling, more space, doesn't interfere with swmbo, leaves the table free....now all I need are more magnets and a metal sheet to bolt onto the ceiling and glue the pegs together etc etc etc.

**Rabbit 3** · 08-26-2014 05:33

Don`t forget the magnetic boots.

Of course, im a genius! Or not...

I believe that most of Brazil (including Sao Paulo) is below the equator. So to those of us in Europe and North American, you are upside-down, Nicolas.

**BobP** · 08-26-2014 12:08

Looks like the B-17 and the Lancaster are die cast 1/144 models. But they are very good models. Congratulations on your new purchase.

**Barkmann** · 08-27-2014 18:35

They are 1/144 and very detailed but very fragile too. The first day with the B-17 i broke almost everything on it. But nothing superglue cant do. As Joaquim once said to me, the differences (of scale) are pretty clear. But, i can live with that, at least with bombers.

Thanks

Nick
