I recently finished some 1/200 scale resin minis from Armaments in Miniature. The P-36 and B-25 are sporting leftover Goblin Factory decals. The B-29 has a mix of leftover decals. I believe the stars are from I-94 Enterprises (w/red stripes added). I should probably have added another, darker wash to the B-25 and P-26. Still, one can see the panel lines fairly well w/o the wash. The minis had very little in the way of flash or mold lines. Each comes with a steel screw in the belly so they're ready to mount on a magnetic stand. The minis are easy to clean and paint, no assembly required. I recommend them for any skill level. Kevin

Nice job as usual. I especially like the Superfort. |

W O W. What a beauty that B-29! Love the different panel colors. Maybe I'll get off my ass and start painting those 6 Raiden B-29's I assembled like months ago! Rolando |

Excellent! The B-29 is superb. |

Looks great, as usual, Kev. Should be 1/144 though. :-) Kimball |

These look great. B-25 will likely be on a future order. I have an e-mail pending to AiM to give them a try with some 1/200 models I am missing for the new A&A Angels 20 game that just came out. What are you using for Decals? I am not aware of anyone that makes a true 1/200 set. AiM has some for specific models. In the past I have just used I-94 for 1/285 or 1/144 that looked close. |

Like you, I use what I can find. The Goblin Factory does make decals for many of the AIM minis (I think those are the ones you're referring to). I also rely on decals from I-94 Enterprises, Scale Specialties, and some Luftwaffe '46 I picked up at a convention a while back. |

Any trick to ordering from AiM? I sent an e-mail a few days ago, but have not heard back. |

I believe AIM was at the Cold Wars convention. I'd give 'em a day or two to get settled and sorted from the convention and then drop another e-mail if you don't hear anything. |

Thanks, I did hear back and hopefully my order is on the way. Look forward to checking some of these out personally. |
