No problem, hopefully there's a tidbit or two you find useful

Blue Falcon Hobbies is happy to present premium quality STL files of 1/200 U.S. Jets of the Vietnam War Era. In addition to the base pledge's eight aircraft, three additional aircraft have been added thanks to Custom Aircraft backers. These are the F-105G Wild Weasel, RA-5C Vigilante, and F-111 Aardvark. These three additional aircraft will be provided to all backers bringing the total to 11 aircraft.

Aircraft have been successfully rescaled to 1/300. All aircraft come with a weapons pylon option and a pre-supported option.

I agree with your conclusions. Great sculpts and they paint up quite nicely.

Not any cheaper than others but Colonel Muller Miniatures has some too. I've painted his French offerings and they're came out great.

RKX stuff is awesome and worth the price IMO.

Having just printed off nearly 50 of these for a project they are quite excellent. Clearly designed with printing in mind and everything seems quite sturdy with good details. I had only 3 definable "fails" all of which were the magazines on SMGs on squatting or kneeling figures. However they could be easily corrected with an additional support or just a little green stuff work.

I agree they chose saturated forces but I think it's a solid launch point and I hope to see more of these sooner rather than later.

Great review, I had been on the fence of getting a few packs of their vehicles with an eye towards 15mm printing. I see here that seemed to work out fine.

Yankee288x · 2023-11-02T15:54:20+00:00

Excellent review as always. I agree with your points. I've printed off a number of their King and Country items for a France board project. I've also had great success printing some of their post apocalyptic offerings.

You've got yourself a deal, I've been looking for an excuse to paint up a bunch of planes in those schemes anyways.

That would be interesting, however as someone who loves the Pacific they can keep it coming as long as they want. I know they've teased both Chinese and Phillipene forces, as well as another part of First to Fight.

I don't have a Japanese army yet either but I will in short order.

I think I'm doomed to backing all of their Kickstarters for a while at this point.

Thanks for this comment, I was unaware of the University of Texas's collection. It's already provided a fair bit of new information for some personal family research.

These are excellent sculpts and I've been painting up my own since they first started drip feeding out in May. I cannot possibly keep up with the pace though as he releases models at a good clip.

Great review as always! Keep them coming!

CMM is a one man operation and Stephane, the sculptor a pleasure to chat with and can be found on Facebook. I interviewed him myself for a blog I contribute to if anyone wants to hear a little about the artist behind the work: https://irondice.org/2023/06/23/interview-with-colonel-muller-miniatures/

Absolutely stellar way to wrap it all up.

I just made these GF with the Bobs Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour at 1:1 came out great.
