As the title suggests, I'm looking for Da Vinci-esque personal glider bits at the 28mm scale. Anyone ever come across anything like that?

Hmmm... the only modes of this type I've seen have been 1:8 scale and so are way too big.

There is an old dogs of war unit called the birdmen.
Hope these are of some use:

Those are pretty close to what I was looking for, but "old" as in they will be hard to find doesn't appeal to me so much! Thanks for your help.

Got a few there, but depends how many you will need.
They arent too bad to find, alot ofthem seem to pop up at once on ebay.


Also, converting them does not seem to be so hard to do:



Piece of plasticard cut to shape then either use GS or thin balsa wood.

Thanks for the image, Jackal, I guess I'll have to try that route It'll let me get it exactly how I want it anyway. Thanks for the inspiration!
