Belgian Aircraft

While some of the following aircraft might be a tad difficult to find, here are the pre-painted and color printed Wings of Glory planes for the Belgian air force (Aviation Militaire Belge). Some are Ares, some are Nexus, and some are Reduced Aircraft Factory via the now defunct Shapeways. I own most of the following, but still need to add the RAF Strutter, Breguet, and two of the Hanriots to my collection, which should be possible as RAF might have found a new printer for his color printed offerings!

A Bevy of Belgians

Perhaps not as complete as I would like it, or even as impressive when compared to some others' collections, but I am decently happy with my Aviation Militaire Belge selection of aircraft. I still needed to add the color printed Reduced Aircraft Factory Sopwith Strutter and Breguet XIV, but waited too long and they are now no longer available.

Might have to add some decals to the Hanriot and Camel as I am not liking the more modern 1:3:5 Belgian roundel. Yes, they were used, but the 1:2:3 ratio roundel looks much better!

Organizing a Belgian Bloody April scenario to feature a few of the earlier period planes.
