I posted this yesterday in the German wing:

http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?8957-WWII-Modelle-von-Armaments-in-Miniature

Just relized that this is probably also of interest to other members of the forum :).


I guess I should also have realized that not everyone will get along with German :-(
In short, here is what I wrote: I ordered these 1/200 models from AiM. Communication and service were excellent. The models are very detailed and from my point of view fit the scale of the original WoW planes. AiM also offer decals for the models. For the fighter each sheet has enough decals for four planes, for the He 111 and Ju 88 for three models. No assembly is necessary except that on some of the bombers the bombs or torpedoes have to be glues on.
Each plane has a little "bump" on the bottom with a small screw inserted so that they can be used on a magnestic stand.
They gave me a free prototype of their upcoming WoW stand, which has a telescopic rod, extending to about 60cm, with a movable magnet on top.

All in all a very good alternative expecially since they offer planes that we may never see from Ares.

Nice looking resin from AIM; does anyone know how to translate webpages in situ; I know there's a way, but not how.

I just bought some of their 1/144 decals and am well pleased with the decals and the personal service from them. They do a good job taking care of business.

Do they do WWI 1/144 decals, Lloyd?

Alas, only WWII and from what Dave has told me he isn't restocking as he sells out.
