Fantasy Flight Games: New airplanes, suitable for Pulp



Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announced three new units for Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare! The three factions are each bringing something new to the battlefield. Zverograd is still a hotly contested military target, and each army is looking to find an advantage. The Allies want to secure their supremacy in the air, the Axis is fielding more Ubertoten, and the innovative SSU continue to find new ways to leverage their limited resources.

The Allies Rule the Skies

The Allies have the largest air fleet of all the factions, though they have recently been given a tough time by the Axis’ jets. The Allies have been hard at work developing a means to meet this new threat: the P-48. The P-48 Pelican is capable of taking off with a very short runway, making this light and versatile fighter very quick to deploy on any new battlefield. The Pelican is equipped with Triple Dual .50 cal machine guns that give it a serious edge against enemies in the air and quickly eats through infantry.


In contrast to the P-48C, the P-48X, or “Bellowing Bertie,” prefers to deal death from a distance. Bellowing Bertiemakes use of the same heavy machine guns as its predecessor, but is equipped with powerful Ground Rockets that let it strike from a longer range than Diving Dotty. These devastating rockets are a reliable and powerful way to clear a path for any Allied ground forces needing to cut through enemy tanks and troops. Either of these Pelican configurations are sure to add a great deal of firepower to your airborne Allied forces.


They look great and with a bit of conversion they can easily be used for Crimson's skies and some Pulp games!

I find these birds very interesting. If they are 1/100 or 1/72 I could use a couple.

They are scaled 1/56 or 28mm I guess, I would also buy some but I guess the price will be very high for these models.

Cheers
