Thread: A Floatplane over Switzerland

  1. #1

    Default A Floatplane over Switzerland

    This short solo scenario is the first assignment for my shapeways Fiat R.S.14.

    On January 1st 1944, a German Fiat R.S.14 is flying from occupied France to Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance in southern Germany.
    Due to bad weather, the crew loose their bearings and end up over neutral Switzerland.
    Swiss-built Morane-Saulnier D-3801 are scrambled to intercept the intruder.

    I was lazy to produce "real" Morane minis, so I made some quick & dirty 2.5d paper models, adapted from a template that I found online.

    Very interesting AAR, Fabrizio. Something different. Interesting to see the Swiss a/c in action. Your "2.5D" Moranes are a great idea and are quite effective.

    Superb video!

    That floatplane crew need glasses, though - horribly low damage chits drawn by the Swiss!
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
