Welcome and damn you. I have enough periods running around in my head, emptying my pocket, and you bring up Dien Bien Phu!

Hmmm ... I'm already planning to move into the 1950 Korean War, wonder how much of a cross over there would be ...

Hi

The allouettes are perfect for algeria as they did use them as gunships.

I paid 15 quid for a  bearcat from hannats the kits are from eastern europe and really over priced for what you get.

Thanks for the heads up on the miniwing kits, yes 16 quid is a bit steep for a 1/144 kit, especially as a gaming piece, so unless alternatives are out there will probably go the Allouette route, just paint them up in early French bare metal finish and they will look the part which is the imporatant thing. I would imagine most of the Korean war kit with some judicous painting will easily transfer over so you get periods for the price of one, got to be a winner!  ;), plus loads of amazing looking jungle terrain.......which you can then use for Vietnam part 2!........... ;D
