Craigs Cold War Builds
hi i think i'd better start a build thread to show/keep track of the builds that i've put forward to do for the 2016 telford display
up first is a part built F4F Phantom
a few small areas need a bit of filler,seat still needs painting /seatbelts and canopy dipping in klear(when i find who sells new correct type in the uk) and masking then we should be ready for painting
cheers craig

Nice work so far Craig. Looking forward to seeing this one complete.
All the best.

A great selection Craig and you can't go far wrong in my eyes by featuring an F-4

Some terrific looking kits Craig. They're going to make a great impression at Telford

I'm sure they'll turn out nicely OOB. They look like rather nice kits. Got to be careful or this build might set me off on another buying spree

Re: Craigs Cold War Builds
A great looking bit of Soviet armour. Will it be in Russian markings, one of the Warsaw Pact states or one of the new states?
