Warlord have released a new selection of pre-painted 1/72nd scale planes to help represent air strikes in your games of Bolt Action.
All in all enough prop-jobs to fill the skies with some epic dog fights and since they are pre-painted die cast models, you will be able to get gaming with them as soon as they arrive.
Do any of you fancy taking you games of Bolt Action to the skies?

Oh dear, I feel the rivet counter rising to the surface… lol
The nose of the Hurri is all wrong dammit!
Would be interested to see photos of that Typhoon. Not seen one with white prop blades.
What, no IL-2?
Aside from missing my favorite Soviet plane of the war, they’re okay models. Good enough for representation of an air strike, though I’d be inclined to use something a lot cheaper.
Would have expected to see more types specifically used for ground attack. The Tiffie of course is classic of the road to Berlin with its rockets. The Mustang and Thunderbolt were used but not sure about in those markings. Some Spitfires were used as fighter bombers. Of the Luftewaffe fighters I don’t know that the Bf109-G was used in the Jabo role. The FW190 did have some fighter-bomber variants such as the F and Iirc the G The Hurri at the period reflected here would most probably be Hurribombers but they were only really used as ground support at Dieppe.… Read more »
I’m going to pass on these since Airfix has plenty of 1/72 aircraft model kits for half the price.
These aren’t made by or for warlord- the exact same models are available for about £6 each on other websites, with a slightly wider range of planes and a lot more colour schemes.
I guess they only have them as a quick fix since they don’t want to do there own aircraft in 1/72nd, and they can’t really stock airfix stuff since they’re in competition with them for the other stuff.
Nice models but I consider anything pre-painted cheating!
I suddenly am not offended by these as prepaints and would probably consider using them. Yes, there are literally thousands of 1/72 kits for much less but for the role of aircraft in Bolt Action I think couple of these are worth investment to save time. You’ve already sunk all that into you infantry and armour.
Oh, and no one has picked up on the worst error of the lot. That P-51 is the B model not the C.
