Wanted: Flying Wings

[Wulf Corbett]

I need a bit of help - I'm looking for spacecraft or other SF-styled minis about 1/2" to 3" wingspan of designs that could loosely be described as Flying Wings. Preferably multiples in a related range for consistancy. And preferably available, if not IN the UK, then at least TO the UK...

Anyone know of such a range?

may I suggest the Ikorta ;-)

may I suggest the Ikorta ;-)

may I suggest sideways? :shock:

Otherwise, yes, I should have mentioned it. And on the subject, what span is the full-size Ikorta? I might do for the biggest of my possibilities.

umm, I think it's about 2", and sideways, OW!

hmm, what about some of the Crimson Skies models? some of them are pretty wingy, although i think they are pre painted

 

[Lorcan Nagle]

not sure of the wingspan, but check out the Slayer,

Chippewa

and Riever

class aerospace fighters from Classic Battletech

Exactly what I first thought of! Are they available anymore, though?

Wulf,

Dream Pod 9 have minis of a German Horten Flying wing for their Gear Krieg game. The minis are about an inch long so figure about a 3 inch wingspan.

I don't know of any suppliers within the UK for Gear Krieg minis but you can order direct from Dream Pod 9 in Canada.

they certianly are! i was going to include the store page but didn;t for some reason, it's https://www.connectstores.com/ralpartha/sp_16901.html and then click on Aircraft rather than Aerotech.

GZG's Federal Stats Europa fleet? Kinda blocky, but still got that look. Stretching it slightly, Ninja Magic LLC's With Hostile Intent ships, although thewy're a wee bit bulkier than I think you're looking for.

Yes, I remember them from the PC version of the game, including the Henschel Hs P.75 from a real-world 1941 German design... They'd not be too bad at all, although they are, like the Aerotech designs, clearly aircraft not spacecraft.

Good thought though.

dare we ask what this is for? playtest of a new ACTA fleet? wingy eh?

..could be... :roll:

Yes, but with too much effort...

[H]

fair enough. just a thought. I'm about to build a "generic Ship" that could be perhaps used for a narn ship, say a new war ship . ...

I might cut out some random wing bits

 

[H]

oop, thought...
either the small version of 40k, um, epic?? the tau Manta ray and other dropship type thing, or the Forgeworld battlefleet gothic tau fleet.

Come on just a teeny bit more of hint? Flying wings eh....

hmmm... LOTR Ranger ships perhaps? Or something new like Hyach? You could give us a bit more of a hint without getting hung Im sure

New designs, only preliminary so far. I'll probably just use generic standins until we see something more definite. A known B5 race, but entirely original designs. And prettier than the Drakh 8)

Pak'ma'ra? They could have nice ships sleek flying wings.



I'll get me coat.

 

[Locutus9956]

Pak'Ma'Ra finally perhaps?

Gaim?

Lllort?!?

Am I at least close?

 

[Wulf Corbett]

Pak'ma'ra? They could have nice ships sleek flying wings.

If Mongoose do ever produce Pak designs, I will be using my AoG FA scale Pak fleet...
