Spanish Civil War Miniatures!

Anglian Miniatures
This is a new company who are producing 28mm figures for the Spanish Civil War... vehicles to come soon. It looks like a really good start - it appears they're only doing the S.C.W. which is a bold move. They take Paypal which is also very good news. The sculpting looks good quality and the price £4.50 for four figures well within reason. I might buy some. Pictured left are their International Brigade figures.
They make a pictorial point on the site that they are compatible with Force of Arms SCW figs. Checking this out there seems to be a large range there with quite a few vehicles including a CV-33 for about 7 pounds. Have a look at their catalogue - again prices seem reasonable.
The only thoughts I had was that 28mm is not a scale that you can get kits in - so that means it's unlikely that there will be suitable plane models to use in wargames - not sure what 28mm is - about 1/60th? Shame not to have planes as they are pure eye candy - from the distance of time, of course.
Maybe use BUM's 1/72 aircraft.

Well I just looked on the Anglian Miniatures Yahoo group which seeems to be going well and someone suggested using 1/72 planes on that. So what are we waiting for?
Disciplina Camarades!
