Stuart's Cold War USAF builds.

Post by Stuart »

I've never had a gallery thread before, but I thought it might be nice to have one for my Cold War USAF builds - especially as I no longer have the F-16's and F-117A that I've already built.

I've always had an interest in the USAF, especially the USAFE of the 70s and 80s - They had a really interesting mix of types and they were just far nicer looking aircraft than what we had at the time. I also used to live near RAF Upper Heyford and remember the place fondly, although alas I never saw the F-111's flying.

I also don't think that the aircraft of the 80's get enough love modelling wise, so this is my tribute to them.

Anyway, Cheers!
