I went through the CY6 Air War Korea scenario book tonight to determine what would be the maximum number of the aircraft needed to create each scenario. The numbers are...impressive. I do not believe I will aspire to collect them all as this is simply too many aircraft to comprehend, especially the number of B-29s one would need.
| Aircraft | # Needed |
| AD-4 | 4 |
| B-29A | 9 |
| F4U-4 | 4 |
| F-51D | 6 |
| F-80C | 8 |
| F-82A | 3 |
| F-84E | 8 |
| F-86A | 6 |
| F-86E | 6 |
| F-86F | 4 |
| F9F-2 | 8 |
| F9F-3 | 4 |
| F9F-5 | 7 |
| IL-10 | 6 |
| La-11 | 10 |
| Meteor | 2 |
| MiG-15 | 8 |
| MiG-15bis | 8 |
| RF-86A | 1 |
| Tu-2 | 9 |
| Yak-9P | 9 |
Obviously some of the above are not manufactured in 1/285th (and I am a stickler, no 1/300th scale for me), and some are redundant as few folks will be able to tell the difference between a MiG-15 and a MiG-15bis in 1/285th, so that does shrink the list down a bit but still leaves far more aircraft than I want to invest in.
What I am shooting for is the following: four F4Us, six F-86s, four F9Fs, and six MiG-15s. To that end I am sending some planes to Chris Geisert at I-94 Enterprises to have painted. I have seen his work firsthand, and he does a very nice job for a very reasonable price. Of course I will post pictures of the planes once he has sent them back to me.
