Up For Grabs Part III 1/300 WW2 Aircraft CLOSED


    I have been digging around locating the rest of the sub-15mm stuff. I knew that I had this box hiding in the back corner of The Vault but it took me a couple of days to locate it (it didn't help that it was mislabeled and in the wrong space!). These come from a series of false-starts; an effort to play Avalon Hill's B-17, Queen of the Skies with minis, a brief fascination with the early airwar over the Pacific and a short-lived interest in the British air-arm.

     The usual rules apply, leave a comment claiming the set of minis that you would like and then email me at daftrica 89 @ yahoo . com with your address. No payment required. My only demand is that you donate whatever the postage costs to a local Veterans Charity.



Buffaloes in the Tropics
      I always had a soft spot for the Brewster Buffalo, from several account I have read British pilots loved it. So I collected a squadron of Buffaloes and a set of Japanese planes for them to shoot at. I got the Buffaloes done and a few Japanese aircraft but stalled when I went looking for rules.








B-17,  Queen of the Skies
 I got these for an aborted attempt to get my gaming group to play a full campaign of B-17 Queen of the Skies where we would each be the crew of a different B-17. They were nice enough models and they painted up pretty well but that was the sum of it.








Odd British Stuff
     A very brief interest, combined with a visit to I-94 Enterprises stand at Pro Or Con, left me with this odd collection of British aircraft. I even bought the decals. I have no recollection of what I was planning when I bought these.

Odd Die-Cast Stuff
        I don't recall where these came from or why. They are very sturdy and look sort of like C-47s

  2. Anton, if they haven't gone already, might I get the German and British aircraft? Thanks, Jon (PS As with the foam ship you did for me, the Royal British Legion will be the recipient of your generosity.)

      I will send you the British aircraft, the Germans are a set with the B-17s so I can't break then up.

      I deleted all of the stuff from the ship giveaway so please send me an email with your current address.

      P.S. How did the boat turn out? I only ever finished two of them, and promptly gave one away to a friend.
