I finished these yesterday, they are 1/200 scale, single-piece resin models from Armaments in Miniature, LLC. They're reproductions of Ron Crawford's HBM models. Decals are from Miscellaneous Miniatures, LLC and I-94 Enterprises. Kevin miscmini.com AIM link

Very nice! The turret on the B-26 is eye catching.

More superb work from Kevin! If that silver razorback shows up in a dogfight I'm playing, I want him on my side. He has 25 kills! I really like the AIM 1/200 resin planes. The photos on the AIM web site made me think "meh" the first time I looked, but I ordered a few sample Sabres and MiGs and discovered that photos don't do them justice – they actually look much better in person. I think this has something to do with cameras showing more than the eye can actually see. The photos above, for instance, show the miniatures at roughly double the actual size on my monitor. Another thing that's hard to tell from photos is that in person the proportions look spot on, which is not true of many plane models. Personally I also really appreciate the resin castings, since they are really light and don't overbalance the stands. Most of us dogfight gamers in my region use telescoping rods for our planes, and we have a helluva time keeping steel or lead bombers upright. Even the larger 1/300 scale fighters can be rather tippy. - Ix
