Tumbling Dice 1/600 Interwar Aircraft

I noticed that Paul of Tumbling Dice has added a whole load of new codes to the 1/600 scale Vapour Trails catalogue, most of which are for interwar US and Japanese aircraft. He's also added discount starter packs for the US Army, US Navy, Japanese and the Chinese Civil War, which is a fascinating period in itself. Not only that but these new codes open up the possibility of other theatres such as the Dutch East Indies and possibly even the Chaco War. You could even try a counterfactual US versus Japanese war in the Pacific in the mid 1930's, using the 1/600th scale planes with 1/3000th scale ships. Now there's an idea!

  1. Great news! I have been working on a small campaign based on Bywater's Great Pacific War that takes place in the 1930s.

  2. I think that must be at least one motive for adding these 1930's aircraft, as well as the Chinese angle. There's also some scope for South America and the fall of the Dutch East Indies.

  3. Those interwar aircraft do have a charm about them.

  4. Very cool, could also work for those in the AVBCW or ACW2 1930s set.
