Historical WWII Models Gallery

[Gilly]

Not so much a model but a trip down memory lane. I've been at the design company I utilise today and have for weeks been trying to get their MD to by BoP and come flying as we're both big WWII geeks and spend most of our time swapping books, dvd's and stories.
I was due to go to Le Mans this year with him as a guest of his company but family wedding has meant I can't.

It's a bit battleships-esque is that you set off on the airfield and then move up into the sky. You take turns to dogfight each other, you can 'hide' in the sun or clouds and you also have ground based flak guns which can both fire as well as be destroyed. Pretty simple yet great fun, especially after a few drinks with both sides adopting stereotypes of each nation.
I'll post some pics of the spits and 109's when I get a minute
