The F4F Wildcat

Although the minis are going to be 1-196 scale (Smaller then we're used to) the detail looks really good.

This looks to be what the first series of minis is going to be. So just like the WW1 models, they are all going to be from different flying squadrons, which should make for a bit more colour/varaition in the game.

Enjoy!!

Those look great, AND I like the pilot mix. I've always had a soft spot for JG26 and USMC aviators.

Springtime for the release?

Fantastic!!

I am just waiting a look-like deluxe set(like for WoW) to buy.

Anyone knows when they 'hit' stores(in Europe)?

I'm actually more excited about these minis than of WWI minis. I think these will be more fun to play than the WWI minis.

INDEFATIGABLE. as was the last allied plane shot was a seafire from the same ship and squadron by an A6M.
