If you cruise the Facebook A&A pages you have probably seen these puppies, but I thought I'd post them here, anyway.
These are Faith, Hope and Charity, the Gloster Gladiators that defended Malta against the Regia Aeronautica in the early going.
These are from kampfflieger via Shapeways. They will be going up against some CR.42s from Armaments In Miniature and some AAAF Saettas.
I have repainted an AAAF Ju87 in Regia livery... maybe I should have a Bf110 as well?
Waiting for the map of the Valetta Harbour from Tiny Wargames... oh yeah, and waiting for this pandemic to become manageable before I can do more than solo the game action.

Those who don't remember their history are bound to do something or other...

Here's a link to a Facebook post about one of those solo matchups: www.facebook.com/groups/673251276374712/permalink/1176964436003391

I would say that the Glosters had their hands full. Biplanes add a different dynamic into the game, particularly the lack of speed, but also the lightweight armaments and ease of being crippled.
