Don't underestimate the size of planes, plus there are none at 1/56 so you haev to go to 1/48 which most definately are huge. Even a figher will dwarf most tanks.
Hello, all together.I think about using some planes on my boards for Bolt Action games.My collection is mostly built arround Perry Miniatures.So the question is: What would fit better with them? Corgi 1:72 models or Franklin Mint 1:48 models
I solved this dilemma by building my own in 1/56.
I solved this dilemma by building my own in 1/56. I am afraid my skills in modelling are very limited.The more I am teased by the skills I see here like in the Reichstag project. I am looking for more robust models, what might make Corgi or Franklin Mint a good choice, except for the money to leave https://www.ebay.de/itm/Franklin-Mint-1-48-Heinkel-111-Libya-Desert-ungeoffnet-orginalverpackt/132589860084?epid=1423526704&hash=item1edef8b4f4:g:AkAAAOSwA3dYcsahhttps://www.ebay.de/itm/1-72-CORGI-AA33708-Heinkel-He-111H-6-S7-HA-Stg-3-Derna-Libya-1941-Selten-Rar/253542565275?hash=item3b0850859b:g:MK4AAOSww1haxkMNQuote from: Rich H on April 23, 2018, 02:17:10 PMI'd go 1/72 even as terrian!

A friend reminded me that bringing some big planes on the edge of a lybian desert strip, might work well, but if I should play Malemes (Crete 1941) a landing strip with interesting near by terrain like hill 107, would fill a medium size tow hall. And a two meters landing strip (what is not smal in a table top view) would look silly with two Heinkels on it with a wing span of 0,48 meters each
