Aircraft project, part 1

 This post was behind schedule - June was the month for my aircraft project, one of my rotating series of other games vying for my attention...

First up is Aeronautica Imperialis, the new game from GW with Warhammer 40K aircraft.  These planes are not too large, definitely not to scale with the 28mm 40K figures.  They are a bit expensive, especially for larger planes than shown above, but few are needed.  The kits themselves are very nice with plenty of options for assembly.

Part 2 of the aircraft project started with these fine models.  I picked this box up on eBay, with a surprise within:

The kit was advertised as having three kits within the box.  Upon arrival, I discovered that there are SIX planes in the box - 4 fighters and 2 attack planes.

Of course, an opposition force is needed:

And gets an ungainly start with the Airacobra!  Fortunately more, and better, planes are to come.
