Got the Minairons Grumman plane for my Republican company. A lovely kit, but the struts and such make the wing assembly very very very testing. If you get one of these they do drill easily so I recommend just drilling brass rod through both wings and securing it like that/ I will put a picture up, as I think it looks great with it's pregnant underside!
A better choice might have been the Rata single wing fighter?
Any way, it arrived 3 times tonight and bombed the international brigade with greta success! With only 9 asset points too. a blue on blue action.

Good to hear that you had a great game.

Hello Martin,
here with a little pic of a Minairons I 15 "Chato" expertly painted by wargamer friend Jean Luc Chaulet :

Nice plane and beautifully finished as well.
What did you do to make the stand?

It is a bit of venetian blind rod bought in a hardware store, with small magnets glued at both ends, so the plane can be landed as well as "flying":

Good bit of lateral thinking.
That chato looks superb!
Ordered the Minairons 1/100 FIAT CR.32 FIGHTER realy like the 30's Italian styling.
I'll post pictures when built.
my Minairons FIAT CR.32 FIGHTER plane has arrived, cleaned up the kit, assembled it. Yes as Martin said it is a bit fiddly but it all did go together and glued up nicely.
Just to get it painted now. Picture after painting.
Built a couple of BT-5's as well. Easy to make now to get them painted.
Getting my basic platoons finished.
