I dont have an airfield, just a Chest of Drawers I dont know why my B-29 will go, its rather big Gotta finish the Yak-3 first though, then ill do the B-29 and then move on to the BBMF.
Italian 8) Currently I have 3 German planes (190D, Stuka, Komet) 2 Italian (SM.79, G.50) and 1 USAAF (P-38). Collecting the Italian planes will be quite hard but it should look quite unique when finished.
In that case, research the sorts of vehicles found on an Italian airbase and uniforms first.
For men just buy some Airfix RAF men and paint them the right colours- use a cocktail stick to paint them though, you can get so much more detail.
I do actually have a very tiny brush that is about the same diameter as a cocktail stick. I will probably get the planes done first, then concentrate on a setting for them.
