"A&A War at Sea for Red Sun/Blue Sky?" Topic

I know that the A&A models are approximately 1/1800 scale.

What would be your opinion on using them in playing the WWII air combat game: Red Sun/Blue Sky?

Regards,

The airplanes minis from A&A are about 1:900 scale. Mounted on a clear acrilic base 3 planes touching wings to a base.
Larger planes (Catalina, Betty and Kondor bombers) are mounted one plane t a base.
Paint jobs are just "good". Sculpt is somewhat better but still just "nice".
The planes you can find in this set are:
American: Wildcat; (Dive Bomber);(Torpedo Bomber); Catalina
Japanese: Zero (Zeke); Val; Kate: Betty Bomber.
UK: Supermarine Spifire; Sworfish
Germany: Stuka; kondor Bomber.
I personally think they are too small for anything but a quite abstracted Air to Air combat. And also, they are not so cheap as one might think because in the secondary market prices go up as many A&A War at Sea players want/need multiple air units.
Hope this helps.

with 1/600 scale planes they work really good.

Oops. My intent got lost in the cross post! I'm looking at the naval ships as bombing targets and wondering whether the A&A ships would be a suitable size. I plan to use 1/285 or 1/300 scale aircraft.

Sorry about that!

That should work just fine. And ships (the common ones) are quite cheap.
