Small aircraft

[Sunray]

The larger fighter and attack aircraft are well catered for by 1/144 plastics,  but what about a few of the small recon and liaison types that feature in BWC and CWC rules ?  Many are too small to ever feature in popular kit form, but would appeal to (a) wargamers and (b) N gauge railway modellers.

I was thinking of:

1. Cessna Birddog

2. Piper Grasshopper

3 Auster AOP

4. BA SA3 or SIAI Marchetti

Would these be of interest to gamers on the forum ?

Aren't the flames of war airplanes 1/144?

They do an auster and a grasshopper IIRC

and as a bonus a Max Holste MH1521 "Broussard" which can be used in other theatres:-
