Russian Air Force

The final addition to my Russian army is three Sturmoviks which, technically, aren't part of the 600 points but I wanted them for future armies and the planes are no longer in production.


These planes are part of the Model Power Postage Stamp series of diecast aircraft. Most of the fighters in the series are approximately 1/100 scale making them the same scale as 15mm miniatures. Battlefront has chosen to release a series of aircraft in 1/144 scale which, to me, are too small. Given that these planes are finished and ready to go for 75% of the cost of the Battlefront miniatures, they are perfect.

The planes, being die cast metal, weigh a fair bit so their bases are made from a floor flange. The wood dowel is then screwed into a nipple that fits into the flange.

Bombs away!
