Hey everyone! I'm back for the holidays!
The other day, we were shown a video on the lead up to, and the start of the war as inspiration for yet more essays on appeasement of fascist dictatorships in the 1930's.
    There was a scene near the end, that was particularly compelling, although I can't say my classmates were as thrilled with all the stuka footage. None of them even know what a stuka is, which is disappointing.

Anyways, The scene in question was a Polish calvary division being chased by a pair of low flying Stukas.
Now, the stukas I have, but where am I going to get polish calvary in either 1/72 or 1/48?
I can't say it's something I often come across.
But I know you will all point me in the right direction  :D

Hi Skior,

Not Polish but Airfix do the WW1 Royal Horse Artillery set. There's good 'looking over the shoulder' poses for the riders and the horses are fully animated, not standing still.

Do a bit of head changing maybe?

cheers,
Alex.

I think CAVALRY is what you meant to spell - calvary is something else entirely  :D

Try http://www.theminiaturespage.com - someone almost certainly wargames this conflict in one or other of those scales.

In metal, 20mm Polish cavalry figures are available from SHQ

http://www.shqminiatures.co.uk/Ranges/WWII/Polish/Polishmain.php?UID=2011121712160186.141.236.2

and Early War Miniatures

http://earlywarminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=269_272

FAA also made a range - these are now only available from the States and are notoriously difficult to get hold of.

Indeed it is, that's my mistake :oops:

I'm going to see this one through once my hawk for the what-if GB and my canberra are finished.

Picked up the kits today:
