Warsaw Pact 60th

Post by Dazzled »

The Warsaw Pact came into being on May 14th 1955, so it's the 60th anniversary this year.

Maybe something we could put together as a partial theme for Telford?

It would be original at least.

That doesn't surprise me - As it was NATOs birthday last year (I did suggest a GB) - so you'll be building some migs for a change then Darryl?

It's entirely possible Stu. ;-)

I was thinking of one for each of the original nations.

Maybe -15s. I have a couple of Eduards in the stash. I may have a mixture though. It'll depend on time constraints.

It does sound a good idea Darryl and I'm sure there are a few suitable types lurking in my stash. Good to see you back too Mav :grin:

Maybe we can get something together in time for Telford. I have a -15 in East German markings (Eduard) and another in Hungarian colours (Airfix). That leaves Albania, Romania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and, of course, the USSR.

Does anybody want to pick an original Warsaw Pact country and build one for a small display?

I've also got two of Eduard's finest, one of which comes with Czech markings.
