Blasted Biplanes

While the air campaign focused on northern Lucrania, the south featured battles between older fighters and light bombers.
I recently picked up some Irregular generic biplanes and finished some light bombers from PicoArmor/O8. I wanted to see them in action so I decided to do a one-off air battle. I painted the biplanes an off white with dabs of red or blue to denote their side. Alas, the colors do not show up well in the photos.

A wide shot of the upcoming air battle. One Lucranian has already gone up in flames (upper center).

A damaged Lucranian makes a pass on the lead bomber formation. He manages to damage one.

Another Lucranian makes a pass, shooting down one bomber. He flies into the arc of fire the tail gunner of the lead bomber. The gunner avenges his fallen comrade.

Another bomber goes down.

As a storm front closes in, the remaining fighters break off. Four bombers make it to the target zone.

Their run is accurate, dealing significant damage to the airfield they were targeting. They only lost 2 bombers and a fighter. On the other hand, the Lucranians lost 5 of the 6 fighters engaged, with the 6th damaged. A bright day for the Empire.
