About the game
Wings of Glory: WW1 Airplane Packs are single-plane blister packs with one 1/144 model plane, assembled and painted, and its deck of maneuver cards. The first series includes Fokker E.III, Halberstadt D.III, Morane-Saulnier and Airco D.H.2, each one in three different color schemes. New planes are available! The four famous fighters of the types first released as Wings of War miniatures have recently reached the stores. Now you can put the SPAD 13 and Albatros D-V through their paces, or restage the most famous competitions of the war with the Fokker Triplane versus the Sopwith Camel. These pairs are available as "Duel packs" that include rules an the bits needed to play. Or, you can by them individually. Single packs reprise a few of the original paint schemes (including the all-red Tripe!) and offer new paint schemes as well.
