Re: Sign-up and Chat
Hello and welcome to the Iron Curtain GB.
I'm hoping, probably in vain, to finish 2 models for this, both from the East German air force. First a Mig-15 in mid 1950s markings representing the start of the service and, second, a Mig-29 in specific 1990 markings representing the final flight of the type in DDR service. So, the beginning and the end of jet fighter operations a Warsaw Pact force.
First thing to do though is finish the extension to the Den

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

I'm in with a little mixed media Aero HC-2 Heli Baby from Czechoslovakia.
I'm looking for a quick build before the Card GB starts hence I have picked such a small subject.

Glad to have you aboard Andrew. A ship model will certainly add a bit of interest. Looking forward to seeing it progress

Excellent, a tank is a superb addition to the GB. Looking forward to watching your build.

Re: Sign-up and Chat
Sorry Darryl - I really wanted to join in on this one but I'm afraid I'm not going to have much time over the next couple of weeks :-( (and I don't have a kit yet...)
Good luck to you all, I'll join you next time.
Cheers
Stuart

No problem Stu. Life gets in the way of the important stuff all too often.

I'll see about joining in next weekend, after I get back to my cave.
I'm thinking of doing an Il-10 in Czech markings. A Kopro [aka KP] kit.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
