It is descripted that they "just went out off the box for one time"
but I have some doubt....it looks like some kind of "dirt" or like somoeone tried to make some "shadow" effects...look at the white square on the wings...you cant nearly see them.
What do you thing? Just some bad photos or really some "repaint"???
It's a 'repaint'. It looks like he applied a modeling wash but was a bit overzealous and picked the wrong color and/or did not thin it sufficiently before applying it. I assume the model was given a protective coating or two before it left the factory floor so you may be able to remove the wash without damaging the original paint & decals. It's a gamble though. I'd sooner recommend painting over his handiwork and doing a complete custom repaint.
Do an image search using the terms 'Citadel wash' or 'Vallejo wash' or 'Army Painter wash' and add the word 'miniatures' to see what I mean.
BTW I'm glad to have discovered this game (albeit a bit late). Great forum, glad to meet everyone!
"Weathered" effect that was the Term....thnx...seems Like the Models were dipped with Army painter quick shade....
Right now there seems to be a lot of Planes on eBay at which the seller dont know that it is a repaints and sell themas "only one time Take Out of the Box"...so they dont know by thereselfs that they once bought a repaints....Just See the Göring with the black lines...
By the way there is a realy nice repaint in eBay right now:

Nooo...dont post such a diamond Just kidding, I have already placed my bet and in a fair competition everyone should have the chance.
It is the first time that I see one of thoe "beyond the great pond", so this time perhaps the "shipping cost advantage" is on my side

AArrrrgggh! Only four more pounds to spare.
Thank you for the warm welcomes! I'm a big fan of the WW1 air war and am hitting myself for not jumping on the WoW/WoG bandwagon years ago... when everything was a lot cheaper. LOL!
I've used polyurethane furniture stain ('the dip') on minis before. It works much better with infantry than vehicles but it offers a great protective coating. Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to remove from plastic models without destroying them. Obviously one can paint over a dipped mini but it's not ideal.
To contribute to this thread... I managed to nab a WoW Revised Deluxe set, Watch Your Back, Famous Aces, Flight Of The Giants & Burning Drachens for a pretty penny today. It was a Buy Now posting, not an auction. Seller originally posted it for $220 late last night but lowered the price by $25 this morning and I pounced on it without spilling my coffee. The four planes alone (which were naturally on my 'want' list) are hard to find and seem to command a pretty penny at auction so all things considered I 'came out ahead'... and that's what I'm going to keep telling myself until this month's credit card balance is a painful memory. I barely got my feet wet and my bank account is already furious with me...
Really looking forward to having Frank Luke fly alongside my WoW SPAD XIII Rickenbacker.
The lack of availability of some planes (Fokker DVIIs, Hanriot HD.1s, etc.) for more 'earthly' prices is very frustrating. One would figure Ares would jump on the opportunity to crank out more batches simply to meet demand.
OOhh Peter. We all agree with the supply and demand. There are a couple of very long forum entries on that one. I would suggest posting in the classifieds for what you are looking for. May find a trade or somebody withe some extra willing to let go.
Welcome to the madness, Peter!
Welcome to the Drome, Peter!
If there are any specific planes you are after, post in the "Marketplace" classified section - someone on here might be able to help out.

I will step back on this one. Camel Crew can have it. I will keep an eye out for another.
Understood Dan, happy hunting. PM me if you find anything this side of the pond you want me to take a shot at.
"He is wise who watches"
hello Dan / Dave. now at £27 and climbing, too much for me. Will another one come along next week!!!!!!!
Hello, If you are looking for a specific model Wings of War WW1 , you might be interested in this "exchange or sale " ? , which was posted recently on the French Wings of Glory forum le Cirque Volant , by a new player Tiguitare who does not want to outbid on Ebay.
"From Tiguitare
Good morning all! I bought a big batch, unfortunately a lot of my planes don't have a base. According to the seller this is normal but suddenly I can't play with it. Anyway, there are too many for a few games from time to time.
So as much as real enthusiasts can enjoy it. If something interests you tell me. I don’t set a price, I don’t know anything about it, and ebay is a very bad indicator. I trust the community.
Besides, ideally I would still like to be able to recover some French planes, so I am also open to the exchange.
Finally, if at times you had duplicate bases that correspond to the planes that are there, I will also take it since at least I could play them.
Thanks for reading and see you soon
What I am looking for:
_ Metal warhammer chaos dwarfs (ahah I still place it you never know)
_ boxes (only boxes!) of the 90s blood bowl team (this one too I put it on !!!)
_ French cockade planes or pretty German planes
_ Trust you if you have none of that but still dream of one of the planes I have and give it to you at the price you tell me."

I bought 3 models above for about 15 dollars only !
A few planes do not have any flight stand but they are in very good condition, even with shipping costs if that can help some in front of the insane prices of Ebay in At the moment, Tiguitare is a in the French Army, he takes a little time to answer sometimes but he is very punctual in these mailings otherwise do not hesitate to use the google translator in French !
Here is the link of Tiguitare in MP on the Cirque Volant Forum :

Hi Peter
I paid $15 for all of them, so $5 a plane.
When I bought them he didn't have all the flight stands.
So Tiguitare accepted the deal at this price, then afterwards he received the stands, I wanted to pay more, but he refused.
Because he's a real "miniature" enthusiast as well, you can make an offer at your price.
I also cross my fingers for you Peter , on average it takes about 30/40 dollars by UPS for one parcel 0,500 kg from Paris to New York
and lo and behold as if by magic, another Spad VII Guynemer appears on E-bay. Dan, keep yer eyes on it
They must be part bunny rabbit. They keep on multiplying. LOL!
The last two weeks were very interesting on ebay....my goal was to get one of each plane.....but as some of you know...if you see a plane at a good price....just try.
I go the following planes the last weeks:
- Fokker Dr. I (Kirschstein) - about 50 Euro
- Fokker D. VII (Stark) - about 60 Euro
- Pfalz D. III (Klein) - about 10 Euro
- Albatros D.II (Boelcke) - about 15 Euro
- Aviatik D.I (Linke-Crawford) - about 15 Euro
- RAF SE5 (Boudwin WoW) - about 15 Euro
- RAF SE 5 (Dallas WoW) - about 15 Euro
- Caproni - about 40 Euro
- Albatros D.III (Hautzmayer) - about 11 Euro
- Ablabros D.V (Weber) - about 11 Euro
- Hanriot HD.I (Copper) - about 16 Euro
- Sopwith Triplane (litte) - about 25 Euro
- Airco DH.2 (Andrews ) - about 35 Euro

- Halberstadt D.III (Camouflage with "weathered effect) - about 13 Euro
- Fokker A.III (Hautzmayer) - about 35 Euro
- Spad XIII (Rickenbacker WoW) - about 11 Euro
- Morane Saulnier Type N (Chaput) - about 11 Euro
...have to stopp.
Didnt expect that it is such ab big problem to resist when you see planes that you already have at a good price.
It is an addiction I tell you!
Congratulations, that is a good haul! Some painful price tags but the great bargains help balance everything out... or that's what we convince ourselves, eh?
My personal purchases have been bordering on obscene since I started collecting a short while ago. My per plane costs are not bad, but the sheer VOLUME.
Then again, thanks to COVID I cannot book my annual vacation to Greece this year. That money was just sitting in my bank account, insisting that a portion of it be spent on a miniature air force. Who would have thought money would have such strange tastes?
I can resist anything except temptation!
British Airways refunded my Origins return flight costs, so.................
I couldn't help it, honest, guv'nor!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Tim - That looks like one helluva big box, unless the scale is all to pieces and its one plane
It's a LOT of planes, and ground targets, and bits'n'bobs.............
I'd take a photo, but I don't have a wide angle lens!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Yet again, the elusive Spad VII gets away!
OMG! That is INSANE!
I was bidding on that Schaefer. I had been the high bid with only 2 minutes to go. Got outbid. With 10 seconds to go I tried to snipe it. Immediate outbid to $57. So someone else was trying to snipe it too. When the auction ended, the screen refreshed to $139. I just started laughing I only wanted it for a repaint so I stuck to my limit. I scored two D.VII’s in the past week within my set limit A Goering sold for $55 (same seller) just 6 minutes before this Schaefer. You just can’t decipher eBay. I don’t worry about it anymore.
