Aircraft in BoB
« on: February 23, 2009, 02:57:05 PM »
What aircraft kits do you use out there for your BoB and have you unearthed any unusual kits/liveries? I've seen a few at demo games etc. but I'm sure there are more out there...

According to Jamie Bisher's 'White Terror', the Chinese had Caudrons available in the Urga region, but presumably the high winds and poor weather reported in Dec 1920 prevented them from being used against Baron U-Sternberg's forces. I've been unable to track down a kit of one. I'm not even sure I know what one looks like!
The Baron's forces were also pursued by Bolshevik planes in the latter stages of his abortive summer 'campaign' against the Bolsheviks. Anyone have any idea what aero units might have been involved?

The best I've been able to come up with is a DH2 which looks suitably antiquated, which I plan to paint up in a basic livery with my version of Chinese Republican/warlord markings. I already have a number of aircraft in Red markings, mainly Nieuports, a Sopwith strutter and a couple of SPADs. I've also a couple of Camels and an Anatra Anasal. These are from modelling 47sqdn in the Ukraine, a project I may return at some point - if only to finally get my DH9 done.
Warriors dreams, summer grasses, all that remains
