Couldn’t Help myself: Russian Civil War takes to the air !

With the enthusiasm of the first game we spent some time discussing where I should develop the project.......bad idea as I then started looking on eBay and Amazon !


 I mustn’t get too many but the majority of Planes used by both Reds and Whites were from other European countries. British Sopwith’s and French Nieuport’s. The bad things is many of these are available in 1:48 scale, and if you hunt about they are about £10.🤭 these can fly above the battlefield or act as objectives and terrain.

  3. Up up and awaaaay! I think I have a decal sheet in 1/48 scale somewhere, I think it is for Whites aircraft. I will dig it out and pop it in the post if you want it.

    1. Thanks Phil if you do have some decals I will undoubtedly use them. The pictures I have been sourcing for colour scheme etc often have the sopwith in British colours as they were often flown by British pilots either on loan or in some cases clandestine. But I was planning for the sopwith to be fighting for the whites.
