This is something I bought to act as "flying artillery" for my 15. Panzer DAK army since the initial 1500pts will be tanks and AA trucks only.The model is from Zvezda, and dirt cheap. And with the new Flames of War rules you only need 1 airplane model to represent your air support - so double win!
The quality of the casting is nothing spectacular, but it is made up of very few pieces with "snap fit" and there is almost no cleanup needed. Assembly time, 2 minutes. It comes with transfers and a cool but FoW rulewise "illegal" flying base. The new flying base standard seem to be 40mm wide base and 50mm high stick onto which you attach the airplane. Makes no sense for Stuka bombers but what can you do.
The miniature is 1/144 scale, but I think it works well and it is basically just a fancy marker which is removed in between turns.
Zvezda have lots of popular air support options for FoW in their range, and I can really recommend these as a cheap substitute option to the one's from Battlefrot.
