History and wargaming

I realise it's been ages I posted something here. I recently finished this new toy.. errm I mean tactical support for mu US players in Nam 68, and none other than the old Bell AH-1G Cobra gunship. It is completely unnecessary to model for Nam'68, but I just really wanted to build and paint one! The model is an old Aoshima 1/100 model kit (most known nowadays as a revel kit) with pilot figs from Flashpoint miniatures and decals from Battlefron/Team Yankee. I had a lot of fun with it, but one is reminded of how delicate actual model kits are compared to dedicated wargaming models, some details are quite spindly and will go MIA at some point!

Here's some more reinforcements (as I keep postponing writing up an AAR for our last game): a UH-1 Huey and a downed helicopter crewman. The huey is a Battlefront kit and the crew from Peter Pig. 

All four planes are Eduard Super44 kits. Unfortunately I think they are OOP nowadays, as they fit quite well on BF flight stands on tables with 15mm ww2 vehicles. Quality is outstanding, a bit fiddly to build just because of the scale, but still an enjoyable build.
