A question about scales Jun 29, 2018 22:05:00 GMT via mobile

On the internet I find that aircraft from the Wings of Glory set are 1/200 scale. How does that compare to the scale used by AAAF and AAM aircraft? I am considering purchasing a WINGS OF GLORY Gloster Gladiator MK.I for use in a Norway 1940 scenario. I am wondering how compatible it would be with my AAM aircraft. Has anyone purchased Wings Of Glory aircraft and used it for AAAF or AAM?

I can't see it working with AAAF aircraft. I have a few 1/120 scale aircraft and they only work with the AAAF aircraft because they are huge multi-engine planes.

Depends on what level of imagination you are willing to use. Some people use printouts, I guess you could get away with using pocket change to represent the planes if you wanted to.

I can say, the Wings planes are much smaller than the AAAF ones.

I will not be using it for AAAF.

I believe that they are close to 15mm which would work for AAM. I do own a 1/100 Gladiator (cant remember the make) and it works well with AAAF.

AAAF is essentially 1/100 scale.

I ended up purchasing the WoG Gloster Gladiator and Hurricane fighters. They worked perfectly for what I was trying to do which was an AAM scenario set in Norway 1940.

I would like to have three 1/100 scale Gloster Gladiators for an AAAF Malta scenario. Wish that Armaments In Miniature made them. The AIM Cr.42 worked out well for me in my Battle of Britain scenario.
