Brookehurst Auxiliary : 1/144 aircraft

Aircraft don't play a significant factor in our game, but we do include them, often as a 'joker' element which might potentially be utilised at a critical moment to change the tide of a game. So far I have bought ~~fourteen~~ sixteen models from Shapeways. These are fairly sturdy, provided you don't mistreat them of course, but lack the finer details. They are also quite expensive, which is why I have bought so few. Shapeways do however offer some models which you probably won't find any where else.

The best aspect of these models is we just don't need that many of them for our various campaigns. Currently we have three campaigns running; Venezuela '39, Persia '40 and Magne's Normandy '44 (which is not a Rocketman alt-history campaign and therefore not included in these pages). I'm also planning an Eastern Front / Otto Carius inspired campaign for Magne too since he likes to play with his big German cats.
