I bought 'Wings of Glory' by Ares games and some of the pre- painted fighter planes, but what I really wanted were the classic 'Battle of Britain' planes that I'd built and painted (badly!) as model kits as a child. I did a bit of research and found the excellent resin models by Armaments in Miniature. Decals are from Mehusla on eBay and are really superb quality- easy to apply and they really 'finish' the models. All are AIM models apart from the JU52 and JU88 which are Zvezda plastic kits. Just wish Zvezda made more in 1/200.

Great work Dan … are Spits and Canes next? Mark |

You're a man after my own heart. How many of us had our childhoods influenced by that one campaign in 1940? They look great, Dan! I scratched this particular itch in 1/100, but your work shows there's few reasons not to go half that scale. Looking forward to seeing the RAF make an appearance, too. |

Very nice indeed. How do you like the rules? |

Thanks for the comments! I haven't managed to get a game in yet due to work and family commitments, but did manage to get the the earlier expansion pack decks so I can field the BF109s, Stukas and early war Hurricanes and Spitfires. I do indeed have RAF planes to follow- currently drying on the radiator downstairs, so will post as soon as they are finished! :O) |

Lovely, Dan! As is always the way, you finish a project and then they announce that they will be selling exactly that item; one of the Wings of Glory authors outlined some future plans in the comments of this old blog post this last week:

Maybe you can make suggestions regarding the content of the Battle of Britain set, since production seems some way off? |
