I ordered and painted 10 Armaments in Miniature 1/200 models (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/armamentsinminiature/aircraftinminiature/9mm/resin09mm.htm) recently. David was responsive and very helpful answering my questions about decals (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/armamentsinminiature/aircraftmarkingsinmini/9mmscalemarkings.htm). I found the models to be high quality and in need of very little finishing. There is generally a mold line near the cowling and on the fuselage which you need to carefully scrape then sand. That's to be expected. The detail is excellent.
My order: 4 Spit Is, 2 Hurricane Is, 2 Yak-1s, 1 P-39, 1 Bf109, and decals.

Construction materials besides the models themselves:
1. Vallejo Model Air Paint (http://www.thewarstore.com/VallejoModelAirColors.html) and my Paasche Airbrush. Then do the camo with a brush. Thin your paints otherwise it's "globby".
2. Litko bases and toppers (http://www.litko.net/categories/Aerial/-Compatible-with-Wings-of-War%E2%84%A2-rules/) which I re-purposed as base adapters to use the standard pegs. Watch which way you glue them. The hole is tapered.
3. Gimbal Mounts (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/game-aides/gimbal-mounts.html) and extra pegs (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/official-products-1/wings-of-glory-altitude-pegs.html) from Aerodrome Accessories. I sawed off a peg half way and glued the magnet on with Elmer's glue. After CA superglue failed several times, due to it being so brittle with the magnets fall or 'snap' to the bearing. Sand the magnet to abrade the surface for better glue adhesion.
4. Flying Legends for A decks for the Spits. The rest of the decks I already had from my old WoW starter or Fire boxes.
Enjoy! Any questions let me know.
Also, wanna trade? Need WW2 "H" deck and have "D" and "I" decks to trade, or money. (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?13071-Wanted-WW2-H-decks-%282%29-Have-or-WW2-I-or-D-decks-to-trade)
