@barnee thanks, I was inspired after watching Midway to do them like that, and to differentiate them from fighters for my less observant friends. I liked it so much I did my Stukas and Japanese tacs the same way as well.
AAA50th painted minis

@AA_fourlife:
Now……this is a great opportunity for you to start your own business.!!! People send you thier pieces, and you (in exchange for money) does all that to the pieces and sends them back to the owner!
Yeah - thanks for the thought, but it’s just not feasible, for three reasons. I couldn’t vouch for times of completion upon commission - not even a rough estimate, I think my pay rate would be unreasonable, and I’d rather encourage people to paint their own - love seeing other paint jobs! Though I do have a large amount of painted minis I’d be willing to trade - I call 'em scraps but there’s nothing wrong with them - in this 50th edition, I made nearly every unit unique to it’s nation, but I didn’t know what I could find to replace what unit - it was a gradual thing. So in turn, I ended up painting a lot of minis that I ended up replacing with what I’m posting here (for example, I use the T-34s from the '42 edition, but I gave the original T-34s form the AA50th a full paint job/decals). But I’m getting ahead of myself - I’ll post the scraps later… :|

U.S. subs… regrettably, this is one of the units I couldn’t find replacements for - so the U.K. and the U.S. share the same mini :oops: But eh, with FMG’s minis I’ll be able to completely trick out the global and not have this problem. :-D
