If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
Thanks guys!
I've restarted work on the Tu-16 Badger.
Looking at her and the poor quality job I did on the joins I must have been in a bad place at the time!
I've resealed the fuselage, engine, nose and wing joins and made the whole thing look slightly better and a lot stronger.

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
I was looking through my workbench and found a post listing all my Cold War models.
Wow things have changed and I will post a new list here:
Cold War models completed so far:
Academy Cessna U.S Air Force A-37B Dragonfly
Airfix Royal Air Force English Electric Lightning F.1a
Airfix Royal Air Force Hawker Hunter T.8
Airfix U.S Marine Corps Boeing Sea Knight - RS
Matchbox Royal Navy BAE Systems Harrier FRS.1 - Weapons Test Aircraft
Matchbox Royal Saudi Air Force BAC Strikemaster
Revell Royal Air Force English Electric Canberra PR.9
Tskuda Russian Air Force Mikoyan MiG-31 Foxhound - Red 31
Currently on the work bench:
Airfix Vulcan B.2 - Will become XH558
Matchbox Harrier GR.3 - Will be painted into Royal Navy ETS Engineering School Livery
Novo Gannett
Revell Canberra
Trumpeter TU-16 Badger - Will become Red 16
"Project Sperrin" Never got off the ground and turned out to be a total flop.
This was one of many ideas I had as Cold War SIG Leader that fell flat and didnt work out.

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
Me too Daz, is there anything else you'd like me to bring along for the display along with my Foxhound?

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
The Canberra was in service in '91 so would be appropriate

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
After reading Dazzled's post about the theme for SMW17, I've been looking through and trying to gather together an optional list of builds for the display.
I have a TB-58B Hustler Trainer, I know the B-58's first flight was 1956 but it was introduced into service in 1960 according to online sources but the TB-58A was converted and flown in 1960, a year after a slightly flexible deadline but would this fit the bill?

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
Impressive as it would undoubtedly be Mav, I'm afraid that it falls outside the cut off date. Shame it's not a standard B-58.

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
Ok mate no worries, unfortunately I bought it off chris because it was a Trainer.
And it was quarter of the price of the standard Italeri B-58.
Il keep searching as I know the Tu-22 Blinder and B-47 that I have will be too big going off our conversation for this year's display.

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
Size doesn't matter for 2017 mate
Build a B-47 if you like and I'll build a B-50 to sit next to it

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
Daz that would be awesome!
Do you mean the rebuilt B-29 (B-50) or the B-52?

Re: Mav's Cold War Builds
The B-50 Superfortress. I picked up an Academy kit at the Belgian Nationals last month.
If I thought we had enough space I'd make it a B-36
