Who else makes aircraft in the 1:285 or 1:300 scale? I am only interested in WW1 and WW2. I know about:

GHQ
Heroics & Ros
Irregular Miniatures
Scotia Grendel
Museum Miniatures

Thank you.

C-in-C does 1/285. they're very nice figs, but i've found that the softer metal doesn't stand up well to gaming as well as the (not-as-pretty) Navwar stuff i've got.

also: Goblintooth made some WW1 stuff to use with their Hostile Aircraft rules -last i heard the designer was "on hold" but willing to consider special orders…dunno how much truth there is in that currently.

If you can get a hold of Goblintooths baloons they are great models.

Raiden do some very nice WW2.

Skytrex has some though I prefer the Navwar/H&R WWI for gaming. They strike a good balance between detail and robustness.

Skyraider have a small range which has some nice WWII bits and stronghold still produce the SDD range which has some really nice bits in it, their BF-109E and FW 190A are the best available in 1300th. Oh both ranges are 1300th and are in the manufacturers database on this site.

Luftwaffe 46 makes many a good WWII aircraft

Are the 1/285 ones Falcon sells the ones from Museum? Or are they their own brand?

FWIW aren't LW46 mostly Scotia Collect-Air?

Also, Armstrong Models are looking at doing 1/300 scale planes (starting with gliders) – if they get pre-orders for 30 of any one type then they'll consider production.

And Raiden do a LOVELY, not just very nice, set of planes, in 1/285. Also in 1/285 are Leading Edge – available from Musuem Miniatures (and I think also available as pre-paints?)

I-94 Enterprises (Michigan, I believe) have product and decals in this scale. I purchased from them at Historicon in 2006.I am not sure who manufactures them.

Raiden, as above Smallish range but lovely.

Mark, check out the "Leading Edge" 1/300 aircraft sold by Museum Miniatures (bottom right of the home page and scroll down). They are absolutely superb!
