Some quick pics of recently released 1/200 resin minis/models from Armaments in Miniature link Me-109E: One piece resin mini picture picture Me-110: One piece resin mini picture picture He-111: One piece resin mini picture picture Ju-87B: Four piece resin kit (main AC, 2xlanding gear struts, and bomb) picture picture Ju-88: One piece resin mini picture picture Comparison shots Ju-87: AIM left Air200 right picture picture The Armaments in Miniature (AIM) minis are very nice with crisp, clean casting. These minis have very fine panel lines that are obvious but not overstated. I believe Don at The Goblin Factory is coming out with some decals for these AIM kits. I used a combination of I-94 Enterprises decals and Dom's Decals on these minis. I used Rust-Oleum primer and painted the minis with Vallejo Model Colors paints. Kevin |

really nice work. The models' quality and your own personal ability are a good match! Dave |

Beautiful work as always, Kevin. If I was just starting to collect WWII aircraft today, this is the scale I would choose. Scott |

Kevin, as always, a great job of painting these models. You make them come alive. |

Very nice. With the real take off in popularity of WW2 air gaming lately due to CY6, 1/200 is the perfect scale for it. |

Exceptionally nice models made to look even better by a great paint scheme. I am starting to build my own collection of Luftwaffe planes and I was wondering if you could tell us what Vallejo colours you have used. I guess these would be based on the RLM numbers 70/71/65. Thanks |

Looks like all of those have these colors: 108 lt sea gray, 093 violet brown, and 100 black green. I used 108 lt sea gray, 101 green gray, and 092 olive gray on this Air200 Bf-110.

Thanks for that, your models are truely inspiring. I am working on 1/300 scale planes. Cheers! |

DB,
if you want to check out the RLM colours (chips from Merricks book on Luftwaffe camo) versus a number of hobby paints have a look at a chart I made for this purpose.

Kevin, I just received some of Dave's 1/200 models. Your painting is super, and the models are truly fine reproductions. I look forward to pursuing this line of gaming with his resin aircraft. Mike |

Thanks for the paint comparison chart it is much appreciated! |

As usual, Kev, your painting looks great! Just wish AIM had done them in 1/144…. :-) Kimball |

That comparison chart is priceless. Thanks for posting it. |

BTW, did you airbrush them or freehand them? |
| miscmini | 22 Jun 2012 6:26 a.m. PST |
Freehand. I like the comparison chart as well. I sometimes find that the colors presented on the monitor look different than when they're actually applied to minis. I've taken to applying small amounts of paint to factory-second/slightly damaged models and using them as a go-to for comparing paints. Here are a couple…
