When it came to buying AAAF boosters, I would squeeze the box. If there was a lot of give, I assumed the usual aircraft. But if it hit resistance right away, then: a Corsair, a Stuka, a Sturmovik .. . something BIG. And I was rarely wrong.

I sold all my IJN units — or so I thought. Turns out a bag of ships had fallen behind some terrain in my storage space, which I dug out recently. I have no attachment to these:
Fuso, Suzuya, Oi, Hatsukaze, Yukikaze, Shigure, Type 13 Subchaser, I-19 and I-25.
They come with sleeved Stat Cards in good condition. According to the gods at eBay, these list for about $105 USD. I would send them to you for $60 USD, plus shipping from Canada.
Let me know.

You didn't mention Soviet Conscripts, Siberian Shock Troops, Guards Infantry or the like. I have four Mosin-Nagants and two Soviet-Polish Infantry, but hardly worth the shipping for six figures.

"Seaplanes are STILL the best planes!" Nice to get another shot at this one. It will be good for my convoy scenarios.
As for opening up the next draw to everyone, actually, I think it should just be limited to me. Ha ha. The more the merrier. It would be nice to see a "full turnout".

I have a number of Axis & Allies Air Force miniatures aircraft to sell. Planes are in good condition and come with the Stat cards and stands. Shipping from Canada. Prices are per each in USD.
Kinda surprised there isn't a Bolt Action thread in here. So I will start one, and confess that I am totally won over to the system for platoon level play, I'm still an AAM fan for the "bigger picture." And because I have so many of the minis. But BA is very appealing.
I just stumbled on Bolt Action (a little late, I know) but was wondering what folks here think of it. I'm in the same boat to where I think AAM is great for "bigger picture" as you say, but am tempted to dip my toes (jump?) into Bolt Action...
I jumped in with both feet, particularly the usual "niche" armies: Finland, Sikh, Canadian, Early War Soviets, partisans, etc. And now I have hundreds of figures/vehicles. So if you ever need spare arms, heads or weapons, I have a lot of leftovers from each sprue.

Oh, okay, sounds like it fits in the game scale pretty well.
I know what you are saying. I have purchased 3D prints and found them to be just a wee bit different from the original AAAF aircraft. I had a diecast Stuka that did not look right with the AAAF Stukas, so offloaded it. Having said that, I have a Kawanishi H8K ("Emily") in 1/144 scale and it's bloody huge on the table. With two Brewster F2As chasing it, its slightly smaller scale is just fine.

Dave Schmid of Armaments In Miniature expedited the mold work to produce this Breda Ba-88, Italian heavy fighter-bomber for me. It's not listed on his page yet, but you can likely email him and ask for it if you wish. The Ba-88 Lince (Lynx) met expectations as long as it wasn't carrying weaponry or ordnance. Fully loaded, it was a dog in the air and went through repeated attempts to make it a reasonable addition to the Regia Aeronautica. I read one source that said that the aircraft were later used as airfield decoys! Most of its action was in the Med in the early war, so up against Gloster Gladiators and other second-line aircraft. Still, it's always nice to have some variety on the table.
