Bombers for Micro Armor Games

[Zakopious]

Rawen designed some wonderful small scale Bombers in 1/250 scale.
See: RAF airfield/1:250/ made by Rawen and M. Tichy :: Prmodels

GHQ Micro Armor used in miniature games is 1/285 scale.

250/285 = 0.877 or 88%.

I printed Rawen's Vickers Wellington Bomber at 88% using Foxit Reader and got a 1/285 scale bomber suitable for Micro Armor games.

The picture shows the Vickers Wellington bomber flying over two of the buildings on the same page as the bomber.
There is also a column of GHQ German Panther tanks led by the infamous Pink Panther.

The bomber was printed on 32 Lb cardstock which works well for such small models although the wings could use some reinforcement.

The tail and cockpit were reinforced with cross pieces of round toothpick. I should have used a third cross piece in the nose.

The base of the bomber is a US Quarter with a disk of corrugated cardboard on top and a round toothpick stuck through the disk to support the bomber.

The squares on the scale cube are centimeters.

Mistakes were covered with acrylic paint.

Buschlaid,
Thank you for your comments.

The GHQ Website has a "Free Stuff" page which includes approximately 30 European papermodel buildings in 1/285 scale.

Nice little bomber. I only built part of this set (buildings and fighters).

Carlos,

This link shows planes similar to yours on stands so that they can be used in war games.

The stands and 2.5 D planes can be downloaded.
