i recently picked up a fighta bomba off of ebay. i was wondering how people base it. i was thinking of using a base of MDA that's an 8 in circle that's 1 in tall, but i want to use the smallest size i can so it doesn't take up that much space on the table. i was wondering what size base you guys use for flyers and such.

no, go for a big base, you can just guarantee someone (possibly you) will knock it over, you need all the stability you can get

Well, on GW's website, they recommend an 8" diameter wooden base for a FW Thunderbolt. As a Fighta Bomba is even bigger than that, I'd go for a 10" base, probably. I can understand not wanting it to take up that much space on the table though.

Maybe you could use an 8" wooden base with 4 paint pots underneath for "legs". That way you can stand it on top of standard minis without crushing them.
