Bag the Blenheims Axis Aircraft Sheets

I already have nine of these painted and based, just 
needing a bit of tarting up to be ready to go.

I've now started on the paperwork for the other Bag the Hun scenario that I'll be running for the Lard Day, which I've decided to make flexible enough to accommodate three to six players. To do this, I'll prepare a card deck and scenario briefings for two versions of the game, which I'm thinking of renaming as 'Bag the Blenheims'. I think this has a better Too Fat Lardies ring to it and also sums up he aim of the game for anyone interested in taking part.

The first smaller scale version will feature the Luftwaffe while the second larger scale game will deploy the Regia Aeronautica, the former as a single schwarm of four Bf-109F-4's of the Stabsschwarm of JG53 and the latter as three sections of three Mc202 Folgore fighters of 73 Squadriglia. The three sections of Mc202's will give me enough aircraft for three Italian players, while the Bf109's can operate as two pairs or as a single four aircraft formation.

Wrong camouflage but they match the models I've already got 
(I don't think anyone will know he difference?)

As it's a 'what if?' scenario I'm not too bothered that neither unit was operational on the exact date but I'll still make the pilot identity and skill ratings as historically accurate as I can. The basic aircraft record sheets for both units have now been filled in, so I need to sort out the RAF ones for the Hurricane Mk IIb's of No185 Squadron and an as yet unidentified squadron of Blenheim Mk IV's. I'm planning to get them done tomorrow and then start on the card deck.
