Ah, the latest batch of toys have arrived from Chris Geisert of I-94. I have three World War Two projects with this grouping - a hypothetical Operation Torch threeway battle, a late war "what if" featuring the Ryan Fireball, and a Swiss/German encounter, based on an actual battle in 1940. The turnaround time for the planes to be painted was less than two weeks from the time I shipped them until the time they returned back to my door. I went with Chris as he did all my Korean War planes so I knew he would do a nice job. The schemes were taken from various plates found on Wings Palette. The tones are a bit dark in the pictures, but look very nice in person. All I need to do is to get magnets on them and they are ready of the tabletop!
To start us off we have German Bf.110s vs. Swiss Bf.109s.

| MSD Games Bf.110 and a Raiden Bf.109. Cool Swiss markings, yes? |
Then off to North Africa for a three sided affair.
 |
| Raiden De.520, Raiden F4F Wildcat, and MSD Games He.112 |
And finally to the Pacific for some very late war what could have been.
 |
| MSD Games Ryan Fireball and a Raiden Ki.100 |
I pretty much have the scenarios for all three projects worked out. Time for some playtesting!
