Arcus Hobby Colors - Some country specific paints offered at reasonable prices but shipping to the U. S. is a killer.
Bravo Bravo Aviation - Color aircraft profiles.
Deep Cut Studio - customized gaming mats.
Flight Deck Decals - Decals and aircraft in 1/300 and 1/200 scales but will scale to 1/285. The decal offerings are exhaustive and the printed planes the best I have seen.
GHQ - ridiculously priced 1/285 scale, but within the aircraft listings are reasonably priced decals.
Helion and Company - numerous titles across a wide variety of topics.
Heroics & Ros - A rather older 1/300 range, but they offer a decent variety of aircraft at affordable prices.
I-94 Enterprises - Raiden 1/285 scale places, along with rules, stands, Fight's On accessories, etc.
Legions IV Hire - Carries the CinC 1/285 scale planes, but the Canucks jacked up the prices once they bought the line from PFC.
Miscellaneous Miniatures - Decals and more.
MSD Games - 1/300 scale.
Pico Armor - Nicely detailed and cleanly cast 1/600 scale.
Scotia Grendel Productions - Collectair 1/300 scale.
Seven Swabian Games - 1/200 and 1/144 scale decals, but the owners will scale to 1/285 upon request.
Skirmish Campaigns - publishers of the rules.
Table Top Flights - 1/285 scale aircraft of fantastic quality and good service.
Tiny Wargames - Custom gaming mats.
Topside Minis - One used to be able to buy individual topside images of ships, but now they have gone to a full fleet methodology. Makes for an easy way to add ships to scenarios without having to paint.
Tumbling Dice - 1/600 scale. If Pico Armor does not have it, then Tumbling Dice is a decent secondary source.
The Finnish Project:
Battles Above 4 - Several Winter and Continuation War scenarios within.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIn your list of supliers above. You wrote that GHQ offers 'ridiculously priced 1/285 scale models' In GHQ's defense they have outstanding models. Their models of modern aircraft consistently have extra ordinance, if the prototype came with any. They often have enough that one can get one or two 'other guys' models loaded out with some missiles or bombs.
Their models, I've never seen one cast with a funny shaped nose or misshaped wings, are very accurate. considering the scale. If the prototype has/had swing wings, GHQ's model will often include parts to create the model with wings swept in or out, for the modeler to decide which way they want the wings set. Anyway I appreciate your blog and your work on it thank you.

Thanks for the kind words about the blog. I still think that GHQ is ridiculously priced though. I can obtain the same quality, with ordnance such as rockets and bombs, from Flight Deck Decals, for less than $3.00 for a 1/285th scale fighter (resin print). I can also obtain pretty darn good metal castings from Raiden for $3.00 for a WWII fighter, not perfect, but darn good. I do agree, GHQ's quality is top notch, but why are they charging $7.00 for a metal fighter when others can offer them for less than half?
Deletethey aren't cheap, i'll give you that.
Deletewould you mind if I ask some questions about your blog (off this stream)
