I tried to search for some info regarding this topic but didnt find anything, although I am certain it has probably come up many, many time before.
As a new player, I both have a desire to acquire certain planes which are no longer in production and find myself looking for alternatives that I can use to represent them on the playing table. I do have some stuff on order from Shapeways but curious what the general view was on this?
For example, one of the planes I am trying to find are some Bf-109s and when first looking for pieces, figured I could take a Dewoitine D.520 and repaint it to kind of look like one. Same thing goes for taking a Wildcat and repainting it to look like a Thunderbolt...or a Bristol Beaufighter to represent a Mosquito?
It would be great if Ares could pump out more models (even if my wallet couldnt handle it), but as someone that missed the boat early on, I'm trying to make do with what I do have.
Thoughts?
Also, I know there are a variety of 1/144 scale warbirds out there, but does anyone have a photo of both a 1/144 and 1/200 scale planes for size comparison?
