@barnee I have found the metal flight stands from HBG work really well, and are worth their price. They are heavy ( for flight stands) so they don’t tip over as easy. I added magnets to my planes and they just snap right into place so I don’t have to fiddle with trying to line everything up. I also can recommend embedding magnets in your carriers enough, no more planes falling off your carriers! Combat Miniatures make some great flight deck stickers that will hide the magnets as well.

@the-captain ya sure, I used the little 1/8th maybe they were smaller puck magnets, drilled into the carriers till they were flush and then put the combat miniatures deck skin over them.

RE: FastHeinz G40 Painted Pieces
@barnee thanks, I was inspired after watching Midway to do them like that, and to differentiate them from fighters for my less observant friends. I liked it so much I did my Stukas and Japanese tacs the same way as well.

RE: Lt. Dan's G40 Map "Memphis Belle" Edition
@lt-dan well if you have any interest in adding the fascist Italy symbol and city territories later to create a new additional map let me know! I will likely grab your G40 board but would be interested in a hbg 36 style board but for g40 if you decide to make one.

RE: Lt. Dan's G40 Map "Memphis Belle" Edition
@lt-dan this map looks great! Do you have any plans in the future to change the Italian roundel to the fascist symbol, or add additional territories like individual city territories like you see in hbg 36?
