I just had my requests for the "Liberty and Union League" posted at Wargames Factory.
If the "orders" get to 1000, they will go into production.
I have requested sprues of Spitfires, Hurricanes, Stukas and 109s.
See the link to see how the League works. It is very similar to the highly successful Eureka 100 Club. wargamesfactory.com/leagueindex Also, if you have planes you would like to see, like Oscars, add to the list. |

Who makes 15 mm Russian La-5, La-7 aircraft? Don't see it on this site? |
| John the OFM | 22 Dec 2008 8:48 a.m. PST |
True North make them in 1/144.
This is the very first listings for planes on Wargames Factory. |

Quick note for anyone trying to figure out how many sprues they want – I suspect WF will be able to just about squeeze two models on a sprue for the 109 and Spitfire, but only one for the Hurricane and Stuka, although I'd guess the latter will be at the bottom of their price range as they'd be a fairly "light" sprue as it were. Dom, waiting for WWI…. |

If they were going to be in 1/300 I'd vote for them, but I think you're probably going for 1/144. |

The Japanese company Sweet makes some very nice plastic 1/144 Hurricanes and 109's, complete with decals. |

I hope this goes well but like Dom I'm waiting for the WW1 listings. |

Most of the Japanese pre-paint firms (F-Toy,Bandai,etc) do these planes in 1/144 as do some injection companies (eg Eduard) so why buy these ??? FE Resin do a La-5FN (when its available) |

I'm firmly committed to 1/600 for WW2, but would guess at simplicity, availability and price as the obvious reasons for this. The 1/144 prepaints are usually randomly packaged, available for a fairly brief time period, and with the Yen at record highs are getting more and more expensive, even against relatively strong currencies like the dollar. Speaking for myself, I have three Eduard Stukas stashed for air support of my 15mm stuff, and find them a good option, but at 40-odd parts, including etched brass, they're not going to be many gamers' cup of tea…. |

No, etched brass is NOT my cup of tea. |

Me, I would buy 1/285 plastic tanks… WW2 or modern |
's commission from one of our own.
