Have been painting mostly planes and posting pics to the Facebook page. For IJN, Frances, Claude, Hamp, Tony, Oscar, and Judy, PBM Mariner, P-38, B-17, PV1 Ventura, Skuas, Wellingtons, Sea Gladiators, Fairey Fulmars, Ju-290, Me-410 , He-177, SeaFires, CR42 Falcos, and a lone Von Der Tann upgraded Panzerschiffe. I'm all out of bases and flight stands till Reacher wraps up my order. I figure 150 new flight stands will get me thru my plane backlog.
I prefer fleet 2, with one change. Replace the Devastator with a Wildcat to provide a bit of extra AA. The Devastator is (historically correct) a horrible aircraft, and will almost always get aborted or shot down. The NC will provide a solid punch for your fleet, and the Wildcat will help your defense against a carrier force.
Also, don't forget Shapeways. You can print the PDF cards of units and then get the mini probably cheaper. Of course, they are unpainted but a quick grey will fix that.
Curious if anyone on the design board can provide just the basic stats for a few units from the upcoming set 6. I'd like to have bases made, but need the armor, vital, and hull.

He just sent me the big order I placed last year. It does take some time. I thought with my big order out of the way he might be able to push a few more through. Then stealth7 came along...
You will get them, but you have to be very patient.
I just placed a large base order from Reacher, in hopes of getting the last decks of bases. I also ordered enough bases for my entire Italian fleet, 1 per named ship and 4 for each plane, sub, and DD. Lastly, I ordered another 100 of the aircraft bases. I can then go to Shapeways and pick up planes and a few non-WOTC ships that I might have missed.
