A (long) while ago, someone asked about Wings of Glory (WoG)and Blood Red Skies (BRS) and how their planes compare. Well, Lucius painted up some BRS planes and so here they are. They are both nominally 1:200 and frankly I think they work well together.
The quality of WoG planes is lower than BRS, but their painting is good enough and you could touch them up. I haven’t yet.
We’re going to rebase all of our planes and do a floor-based version of Bag the Hun as we have loads of 1:200 planes. I’ll let you know how that goes as we slowly paint up planes and get the hexes and floor mat ready!
Look forward to the update.
Thanks for that review.
I have, for the last few years, been developing a game based on Len Deighton’s novel “Bomber”, using 1:600 and 1:300 models and my own rules constructed from aircraft operating manuals.
Sadly, after much investment and a fun playtest, the target participants rejected the game in favour of “traditional” large 28mm battles, so it is abeyance.
I have lost interest in completing the game, but it may be adapted on a smaller scale for a younger audience.
Hello, I am looking for a suitable adapter so that we can combine planes and bases from both Wings of Glory and Blood Red Skies. Do you know if someone has already dealt with it somewhere and solved it :-)? Thanks a lot in advance for the info. Best regards, Tomas from Prague

Hi Tomas,
you could use magnetic gimbal mounts so you can swap planes with different bases. Furthermore it may give your game a more cinematic and therefore immersive look.
Keywords for further investigation could be:
