2017 SMW Builds, Early Cold War
This is a general thread for us to post our completed builds for the SIG display at SMW 2017. Any in progress builds can be added to the Cold War Builds section where I suggest we each start a new personal 2017 build thread. The theme is Early Cold War. This is loosely the first decade although I have no issues with any relevant subject up to the end of 1959. If anybody would like to concentrate on a particular area or subject (eg Korean War, Berlin Airlift, Soviet fighters) that's fine.
So, best get building. There's less than 12 months to go

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

Il follow Craig with my proposed builds.
I plan on building an SU-7, MiG-19 and the B-47.
I'm also hoping to get and build more but who knows yet.

Sounds great Craig although I do already have a built Special Hobby J-21A that makes the display tables on occasion. Anything else you'd like to build will be welcome. I can see a theme or 2 within the display already developing.

Soviet fighters and US bombers should make neat sub-displays. We always field a few Mig-15s and a Mig-9.

If you have Mig-15's you've got to have a Sabre for an early CW display!Dazzled wrote:Maverick231 wrote:Il follow Craig with my proposed builds.

Do you/we have any? (if not what scale are the -15's?) It might be a nice display to have them nose to nose? With info boards Maybe?

Re: 2017 SMW Builds, Early Cold War
We have a few Mig-15s in 1/72 plus my 1/48 Korean War example. I've got an idea that the latter might be good in a KW sub theme alongside Chris' s Chinese SPG and a few others.
Anybody fancy building a MASH dio?

Re: 2017 SMW Builds, Early Cold War
I have an F-86 Sabre if that's any good?
I could build that and the MiG-15 together.

A Sabre would be very appropriate mate
