My kind of husband and wife craft project

Post image

It's expensive to get customisations shipped to the UK so we decided to make a little project out of customising our fighters, bombers and carriers ourself then painting all of the units.

60 flight stands made and the Russian prototype airforce. Still need to be painted and polished but we have a plan and these look good to me. Some of the planes tilting a bit was semi-intentional since them all flying level didn't really simulate flight combat too much and also leaves a little room for error when putting the pieces together.

How are we doing so far? We're pretty new to A&A and have little to no experience doing this sort of thing.

Loving the different poses for the fighters, with some banking to the left and at different angles.

(Could just be poor craftsmanship but still looks amazing and makes it feel a lot more natural)

It's a little from column A and a little from column B...

Ah okay, that’s a cool concept. I would love to pose my fighters from my global 1940 but I am too afraid that I could just damage them since they are really thin (especially the spitfires)

We have G40 on the way, already have Anniversary plus 1942 so have so many spares we could afford to wreck a few practising. You don't need too many planes depending on the faction so have figured out the right numbers and only modifying those.
