Sure, they aren't realistic. But I picked this one up for $0.97 USD when I had to make one of my thankfully infrequent stops at Wally World.
It's getting a repaint, but I plan to use it as a scenic piece more than a gaming one. I'm thinking one of several potential targets in an airbase raid/defense scenario. Add in a fuel dump, ammo storage, base defenses, C3 structure, etc., with Victory Points for each one destroyed… Sounds like a fun game to me. And then there is this one…
I think it would make an excellent fighter plane for a 15mm force, too. Or perhaps a drone. |

It's for a sci-fi game. Who's to say what is or isn't, "realistic"? I'll bet with a coat of paint on them and some scenery around them they will look fine.

97 cents? They sell these for $2.97 USD in my area. I've seen some really nice, approx. 6mm scale stealth-like, fast movers too, which are worth seeking out. Perhaps useful for 10mm gaming as well, as orbital drop fighters. |
