The Spanish Civil War at Sea
Aircraft
Our Small Scale Aircraft Choices
Our aircraft for our Naval Ranges are mounted in two scales. We chose to do 1/1800 as this ties in with the largest of our naval miniatures, and other than the individually mounted aircraft these are all mounted on opaque lozenges.
You will see on Base Options which base types are available. Take care to choose your base type when placing an order.
The 1/1200 aircraft came about as the result of trialling our proprietary ‘wing links’ and at a slightly larger scale that look small enough for the game being played and yet large enough that you can actually paint them. Most aircraft in the SCW range are in threes, linked by the wings, although the bombers are in pairs and others are individually mounted.
