New range of SCW aircraft

[Lluís of Minairons]

I'm happy to show you the first results of a new range we had been silently working out for a long since. What you see in the attached captions is the very first model of our new range devoted to Spanish Civil War fighting aircraft, that will be developed at 1/100^th and 1/144^th scales alongside --not discarding to bring them into 1/72^nd too, depending on demand volume.

Yes, legendary Polikarpov I-15 "Chato" is ready for lording Spain's skies again!

Following our usual philosophy of easing wargamers' life, such new aircraft models are to comprise very few parts; the larger of which will be made of high-quality resin, while those smaller ones will be cast in white metal for their higher endurance.

Just as with our land vehicles, our aircraft are to be sold in boxed sets also including a decals sheet that, in the case of our Polikarpov I-15, is to bring you USSR and Spanish Republican markings, as well as three different Republican squadrons insigniae.

I'm afraid that this new air line is not to be considered a low cost one, though --due to both our quality commitment and the decals added value: while a regular 1/100^th resin airplane uses to cost between $12 and $15, we cannot by any means sell them for less than €15. Apologies for that.

Polikarpov I-15 will be released at 1/100^th scale by late November, being shortly afterwards followed by its 1/144^th version. The next model to be released will be Fiat CR.32 (at both scales too), that has already been prototyped alongside with the above --so that it's just in queue for being brought to moulds.

Cheers,
Lluís

Lluis,

Those look very nice. Have you thought about producing some pilot figures to crew them?

[Arlequín]

Very nice Lluís. I can accept that these might be somewhat more expensive than the vehicles, but I don't think they are in any way unreasonable in comparison to their competition out there.

As Carlos says though, Pilots would be nice, even if it is a pack of them which may be bought separately. At least one must have his scarf flowing behind him though.

[Lluís of Minairons]

Regarding pilots: we had something in mind, certainly. I shall see what we can do for pushing it a bit.

Nothing wrong with the price at all, especially given the great looking plane and especially those decals! Mickey Mouse!!! Yes! 

Any work on infantry?

Any work on infantry?

I've already got a few pictures on the Republican Infantry greens --but there's still a lot of work left. They have no arms fixed to torsos yet, for instance.

I'd say that in one week's time I'll be able to show you finished figures.

Excellent to hear, Luis! Your range is really unique and very nice.

I should add that I would be most interested in this, along with your other products, in 1/72.

*cough* as a fellow LA member and your sponsor, should I be reminding you these aren't 6 or 10mm?

It's ok - there aren't any figures for the line yet, so I have time! I hope ...
