Looking at doing my Wake Atoll project in 1/600:

One thing that I have seen in regards to bombers is to have a single bomber model represent 2 to 4 bombers. It does change record keeping a little bit since your bomber box diagram will be on a single sheet, along with the plane stats. It worked well. Just an option if you don't want to start of bombers on the table. |

Hmmm, Joe, you might be onto something! Would be far more affordable to not buy every bomber needed! |

Back in the Old Days…
We would play Mustangs and Messerschmidts in 1/72 scale.
For bombers, we formed a "bomber box" made up of 1/300 scale bomber models. At first it looked a little squirrelly, but with the range scale it made sense and worked.
You could, perhaps, do a similar thing and use the 1/600 bombers with your bigger fighters. It decreases duplication (two different scales of fighters).
The best of both worlds. |
