Nice paint job Tom. The coning tower looks like a pin cushion with all that paraphernalia.

Been a while but I have finally finished a few more for my Cold War collection:

From back to front:

1/700 Hobbyboss Typhoon class SSBN
1/700 Hobbyboss Akula class SSN
1/700 Dragon Alfa class SSN


All three were quick and stress free mojo builders and I'll be adding more 1/700 subs in due course.

They look terrific Tom and nicely photographed too.

But, you know what? When I saw them I couldn't help but think of this....




I don't know why :lol:

The Warrior is almost ready:

And I've started a 1/72 build of the coolest MBT ever made; the Swedish STRV.103B :

Its a Trumpeter kit and very nice too, might be picking up a few more of their small scale armour in the future.

The Warrior looks very neat Tom and I have to agree with you about the STRV 103. It's a pretty individual machine 8-)
