Are these 25mm gaming pieces?

Picked up an Airfix spitfire Mk1 in 48th today. Yes, I know I don't normally do 48th but this is going to be a crimbo pressie for my brother. Just need to get a set of RAF decal from the BoB period, can anyone out there help?

I don't usually do 1/48th either but since I got the Special Edition 1/48 Mk.XVI Spit when I signed up with the Aifrfix Club and liked it so much I got hold of a 1/48 Mk.22/24 (Eduard edition) to go with it.  But what is this Mk.I like lancer?

Of the four things I've bought off ebay recently, the first and last rolled up today.... :rolleyes:

1. 1/72nd Hase EA-6B Prowler. Slightly started (but none the worse for it) and hence very cheap  :mellow:. No idea what to do with it yet - just bargain snapping.

2. 1/100th Heller Vautour. Fairly nasty, but therefore perfect for the scaleorama to 1/72nd that I had planned for it anyway. Here's an oddity: the kit and the box side illustrations are of the single-seat attack version, but the box art clearly shows a 2-seat + radar night-fighter....ooops!

Bonus: I had to chase up the Vautour guy to get the kit sent after a long wait, and by way of compensation, he's included an extra kit! Unfortunately, it's the tiny-scale Airfix HMS Victory.... Gawd knows what I'm going to do with that. Decent of him all the same though...... :thumbsup:

The Mk I is a really nice kit - I've built one and have another to do (both real)

Do what I did when I built it in the 50's or 60's - take it in the bath with you - floats quite well if memory serves  ;D

Does it still have the vynil/rubber rigging ?

The thing that's occured to me is to raid the spares box for some wheels, get some wooden fencing to cut up for planks, and make some Victorian land yachts....... :wacko:

Or ---- at Salute a couple of years ago the South London Warlords demo game was based on the Jules Verne "Martian" books, with loads of lovely Victorian space craft with sails and armed with cannon. Somewhere I still have the issue and pics  ;D

It looks pretty good in the box, some nice side detail in the cockpit,  seperate flaps that can be posed down. Multiple propellers AND 20mm cannons so it looks like there is going to me some of the early cannon varients coming out at some poinyt I woul dguess. But overall a very nice looking kit, I am actually looking forward to building it.

The game was called "Cloud Ships of Mars" in Miniature Wargames April 2006. Just re read the article and it's fantastic, gorgeous pics
