Well, define "cheap". Look around for 1/144 F-Toys kits. Generally build everything you need for BoB and Germany target attacks. Best thing is they are pre-painted so you can go fight the minute the box is opened. A bit more expensive perhaps ($7-$11 usual), but worth it. One thing is for sure, you put up a table of painted 1/144 and its a draw no doubt about it. |

The F-toys for 1/144 are great. If your not wed to 1/144 I would also suggest 1/200 from Armaments in Miniature:

Great line of resin models with all the major aircraft from the Battle of Britain, Spits, Hurricanes and Defiants, stukas and Me-109s at $4 USD a pop and Do-17s and Ju88s at $5 USD and He-111s at $8. USD You do have to paint and decal them but the detail on the models is very nice and you can't complain about the price. David is also great to deal with.
Happy gaming with whichever you choose!

I have some extra 1/144 scale fighters if your interested. What type fighters are you looking for, European or Pacific theater. It looks like I could fit 6 to 8 fighters in the large video box for $13.95 USD priority mail. If your interested contact me at michaelconle@mac.com and I'll tell you what I have and we can work out a deal. |

Not that WWII, but rather Spanish Civil War fighters are my main interest right now. Do you have any? |

Old Glory 25s have an ME 109C in the "True North" 144 aircraft line (go to "15/18 mm Figures"). They also do Polikarpovs I-152/153 and an I-16. |
