From MarkB - 3mm Swedish T2 Floatplanes from WWII

Here is my first submission to this year’s challenge. Two Tumbling Dice 3mm Swedish WW2IIT2 Floatplanes. These are He-115 A2’s that the Swedish military purchased from Germany in 1938.  The Swedish purchased 12 of these planes and they were used for a number of different missions and stayed in service until the mid-1950’s.  

This was the first time I used magnification glasses to help me paint and they were very helpful. I hope to paint more Swedish aircraft for my What if Sweden invasion by the Germans in 1940.  I am not sure how many points these should get at there is no point on the list for 3mm vehicles.

Have a Merry Christmas! Skål!!

First, welcome to the Painting Challenge Mark! We're delighted to have you a part of the crew this year.

Now here's something you don't see everyday: 3mm Swedish Floatplanes. Wow. Very cool work Mark and interesting background to them.  I like your clean brushwork (score for the mag goggles) and how you've based them on the beefy hexes. They look great.

We do actually have a scoring matrix for 3mm, but it's variable on vehicles, depending on the models being submitted. So, with that in mind I'm going to give you 4 points for these (equivalent to 6mm vehicles) due to the extra work for the bases. Well done and Merry Christmas to you!
