@ampdrive Awesome, thanks a lot!
Classic Piece Identification
-
EVERY piece is generic, except infantry.
-
but if you want to talk about what they kind of look like… I’ve always thought the fight looked like the American Buffalo fighter
-
I’m saying there generic because Larry and Krieg has said they are generic.
Ah - fair enough, did not know this (obviously). THe way they worded it on the box I wasn’t sure.
Hmm… the Buffalo huh? Yeah… I suppose so…
-
I just figure if you compare it to the units that we currently use it looks big and bulky
-
Just did - yeah… Actually isn’t that bad a sculpt, too bad it isn’t a little longer.
-
The bomber I have little to no idea, but it does kind of look like a poorly done B-17
-
Agreed. Tank is the one I always thought strange… that searchlight effect of that part on the turret section of the sculpt, good stuff in a way. Think I’ll try modernizing, using some clay bits to mount some searchlights on better sculpts… :lol:
-
The tank (to me) looks like a Panzer III with the 50mm gun, or maybe a short barrell Panzer IV
-
Closest I could think of was the Panz as well… or a neutral country’s design that never seen much action. 8-)
-
what do you think the battleship is or modeled after?
-
Hmm… a pretty primitive Looking Iowa class. With some stacks I think it would more likely resemble one of the mediterranean ships (the Greeks had one called Georgios or something like that…) - if used with the others/oob’s, since it’s smaller. I thought about making it a neutral of some sort but abandoned the idea. You?
-
I’ve always thought it looked alittle like the California-Class. The Carrier is alittle puzzling
-
Yeah… that carrier. I actually painted two of them ages ago - with the thought that they’d be the mini-carriers due to their size in comparison to all the others I have. But now when I look at them… they aren’t very nice as sculpts go, would take some modding to make them look cool.
As to what it closely resembles? WHew… no clue. Although we can count out some of the carriers with the big stacks since it doesn’t have one…
-
yeah the carrier is a mess, maybe midway class?
-
At best! I looked through my bits box… and there isn’t one that isn’t warped - the structure is leaning toward the runway, which is concave. :|
-
sounds like yours are sinking Midways
-
The best thing about the fighters is the gear. I wish they all had them. The Japanese tacs look bad ass sitting on the board with the nose up.

I agree to bad they don’t sit well on the carriers
