@CWO-Marc No problem, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a $29.00 can of paint that would never bu used. I already had the Sakrete from a Hyphatufa planting pot I made. So there ya go. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures from my IPad to this forum I’ll update it.

Nice! I like those aircraft stands, too. You could play “Check Your 6!” with those stands.

I agree. Makes for a nice visual : )
Can we get a “Combat Air Patrol” over the Fleet shot ? :)

@barnee I have 24 different painted aces, 3 from each country. After reviewing photos of fighters I noticed some had individual paint patterns, so I looked up the aces and tried to match them. They are no where near the quality of DMcLarens work. I will send a few more pictures, hope you enjoy.

@sansmerci Here is the new 3G40 map with some of the Japanese fleet. Hope to use Axis & Allies war at sea minis in the game.

These are great! If you want to get squadron letters and numbers for your aircraft, the white letter and number sheet from I-94 has the perfect size. Great looking aircraft, and carriers too! Where did you get the carriers? Did you do the decks on them?
-
@DMcLaren Thanks, I have been getting the decals from Historical Board Games will check out I-94. The ships are from my War at Sea collection looked like that out of the box. Got the big 3G40 map will see how it plays with those big units.

@sansmerci War at Sea collection? I’ll have to check those out- they’d be great for tabletop Victory at Sea on a hex map, too. The letters and number decal sheets at HBG are the I-94 decals, so if you got those, you’re all set! I’d advise getting a few sets of each color- you can get creative in the use of sections of letters for colored stripes and such. And that map is a thing of beauty- where did that come from?
-
@DMcLaren First check out Axis & Allies Miniatures, War at Sea in Forums section of Axis & Allies.org you can also go to Axis & Allies Forumini to see lots of customized ships. I have some red numbers but have not used them yet. Bought a 20/0 brush and Micron Pens at Michaels they where out of the others. The map I had printed in Hong Kong from files provided by Young Grasshopper its 73" X 33". Here are some of the new units needed for 3G40 and the map set up for round one
.

@sansmerci I got the map from X-raypad they got the file from Young Grasshoppers posts then sent me a picture of the file. They printed it and sent me a video of it, shipped it and I got it in 8 or 9 days from ordering it to receiving it.

LOVE those biplanes!!! They look awesome! The game in progress shots give a great view of both the map and the pieces. I don’t know what you paid for that map, but it was worth every penny! Is that a GHQ transport I see in P-50?
-
@DMcLaren Thank you. The biplanes are from HBG and the transport is from my Axis & Allies War at Sea collection. All the large ships are from War at Sea.
