Latest News
21st June 2010
Apologies for the lact of updates, unfortunately life in the form of Mark doing his wrist in somewhat badly last month has delayed releases somewhat. However, he's on the mend and and things are getting back to normal. Some orders have been delayed slightly but we should clear the backlog by the end of the week.Now to more interesting news! We have three new aircraft to release, but before that...
Some of you may have noticed that we will shortly have released 100 miniatures in 1/285th scale. So we decided we would have to mark this mile stone appropriately. However before that we need to release aircraft number 99 which is the F-86E Sabre.
For number 100 we are pleased to announce our first laser cut 3D Computer modeled release. For your gaming pleasure we give you a La-5FN. As you will imagine getting a plane 3D modeled is not cheap but we will not be charging a premium for these items, the La-5FN will be the usual GBP1.00. Further 3D releases will follow as funds allow.
And finally our third release is a Gloster Javelin from the old Dogfight range.

And for our 1/285th fans we have 2
new planes available. First up is a A6M5a Zero from George and secondly from the old 'Dogfight' range we have a CF-100 'Canuk'.

28th February 2010
We are pleased to announce that we will now also be releasing aircraft in 1/600th Scale. However, as there are enough manufacturers already releasing mainstream planes in this scale we have decided there is no point in just making more Spits, 109's, etc. So we will be concentarting on two distinct topics.
First up is our 'Project Cancelled' range, this will be for all those wonderful aircraft which never got off the drawing board or were cancelled. The first release in this range is a BAC TSR-2 which is available now, forthcoming releases will include the Avro 730, Avro Arrow & SR.177. If you have any suggestion for future releases please feel free to drop us a line here.
The second range will be 'Luft 46' and include all those lovely fanciful German projects plus a few allied targets(Mustangs, Meteors, Tempests, etc.) to balance out the range (and allowing us to make up some Battle Sets). This range we hope to start to release at Salute(24th April).
All you 1/285th people who are now getting worried, please don't! 1/285th will still be our main endeavour. And you should see some more releases from us next weekend.
The Work bench has been updated and there are some cool pics of our fortcoming JU-88A1.

12th October 2009
We are pleased to advise that we have a new plane & Battle Set available. The new release is the clipped wing A6M3 Zero from Mark and our Battle Set release is the Super Fortress vs the Rising Sun set (at long last!). As per usual the set costs GBP20.00 and contains 16 planes(inc 3 x B-29) with bases, 3 Dice, our fast play rules & scenario sheet. For more details see here.The workbench & Pick the week(month!) have been updated.
20th September 2009
We are pleased to advise that we have a new plane available as well as a re-release of another.
The new release is the P-47D Thunderbolt 'Razorback' from Mark.
The re-release is of our answer to the problem that 'Big Bombers' are very heavy and expensive items in white metal. So we have taken the decision that all such planes will have their fuselages done in resin from now on. Therefore due to this we can reduce the price of our B-29 Super Fortress down to GBP3.50 (50 pence reduction). It's weight has dropped by half(60g) which will make them considerably cheaper to post in any number, especially to our overseas customers. We hope you will support us in this change and if you have any comments or queries please feel free to contact us.
While the B-29 is the only 'Big Bomber' we do at the moment we will be applying the same principle to the 'Dogfight' He-177 and should have this out in the New Year if not sooner. After this expect B-24's!

We are pleased to advise that we have 3 new planes available from the old 'Dogfight' range. There is a Ta154 Moskito, F9F Cougar & F3H Demon. The next couple of months should see a bumper number of releases if all goes to plan. Including a Stuka which I'm sure will excite some of you out there!

11th July 2009
We are pleased to advise that Mark has finished off the P-47D Thunderbolt (bubble Top) and it is now available.
For those of you who have bought our Seafire III (or thinking of doing so!) we now stock the correct decals for their use with the British Pacific Fleet. Check the decals page for more info.
We've also just re-stocked all the CY6 books, so all are now available again. However, this is our first re-stock since the pound fell and with the added fun of the fact that all the scenario books have gone up by five dollars we couldn't hold the prices as they were. So the rulebook is now GBP19.00 while the scenario books are GBP15.00 each.
