Thanks all. 1/600 is easy fast and cheap!

I've possibly got a bit carried away...
I've also got a load of MIG15, F86 Sabres, MIG21 and F4 Phantoms on the way but they are at 1:300 still very cheap though!
Nearly bought loads of stuff... Canberras, Hercs, Chinooks, Lynx, etc...but managed to resist for now (but it's £2 for 6...!)

CY6 seems to be fairly intense so 2-6 seems a sensible number of aircraft per side.

Also got a couple of 1/600 airfix ships in the post for the Falklands, I know they will be a bit naff and 80's but should be fine.
The Rules cover SAMs and AA Guns.

Made my own green hex cloth too. Very tedious... just need another now in blue for sea...

I didn't. I don't count them anywmore, I just weigh them. Kilo's of them Sir, kilo's..... They are addictive.

I did accidentally look up some plans for the Atlantic conveyor... it's only about 350mm long at 1/600... I'm sure she'd never notice...

I kept it a bit more affordable with 1/3000 cargo ships, with the occasional larger ship for single ship events.

I love the scales (1/300 and 1/600). Also some of the plastic naval 1/350. Dipped my toe into some 1/700 Trumpeter Helix helicopters... that was a mistake (waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too tiny!

).

Lovely painting on your jets.

Thanks I was impressed at the detail
The sculpts are a little off but recognisable and being tiny they are quick to paint!

Just need my rules to turn up now...

Also realised my bases are wrong for Jet Age they need to go to speed 8! Oh well good job I can make my own.
Means I'll have to get some piston engined aircraft...

I have a load of those things, but how do you get it to stick to your aircraft base? Purely on magnetism?

Rich H · « **Reply #13 on:** 22 June 2016, 07:08:57 AM »

Yep a 3x1mm rare earth disc magnet. The shaft of the base is a nail!
The pipe cleaner has a steel central wire that will just about stick to it too.

Thx for the tip, I have my magnets reversed, only on the base, and the aircraft on a nail
