Hello,what is the closest scale to the official wow minis.then how do you adapt outside models to the game.I am getting WWII set 1 and the deluxe 4 planes that come with the set.Thanks in advance STT

Hmmm..I thought I kind of answered that in the other thread. !/200 is the scale for WWII minis. There is not much out there for pre-painted models in 1/200, but several for models you have to paint yourself. Otherwise there are alot of 1/144 scale models, but they do not look good with the official 1/200 WoW. This year they are suppose to release two more sets of WWII models with set 2 coming in just a couple of months (finders crossed).

I encourage you to check this site out for information if you have not already:

The site is devoted to WoW and has many posts each day to keep you up to speed on what is coming up. The game designer is actaully a member and shares alot of information.

HTH,

No problem...it is an easy game to get excited about. Check out the other site, it is a very friendly forum and there is plenty there to keep you busy.

Well, there are still just a few models so it is not a bad idea to get some other planes to make the game more fun.

There are at least 2 different manufacturers that will make your life easier:

www.navigatorminiatures.com/prodtype.asp Air 200, around 25 planes to choose from (there is more, I seen the link to a larger store somewhere here but can't find it just now. Each pack is 2 planes.

www.skytrex.com/ Action 200. Loads of planes including bombers. They are more expensive than Air but have a lot more planes to choose from.

Both pages are brittish but there are american pages selling the models also, I just don't have those bookmarked.

The best is probably to buy what you like from both the collections together with some official planes.

1/200 is a limited scale, there are loads of good pre-painted planes in 1/144 you can find for a good price but it just wont work to mix 1/200 and 1/144. I am not really sure why they choosed such a small scale but I guess it was a decision based on storage space, a 1/144 B-17 is a large thing.

It will probably work fine to use the game with 1/144 or even 1/300 planes if you want too but it is frustrating not to be able to use the official models then.
