One from me that doesn't fit into NATO or Warsaw Pact but actually covers both sides.

Re: Other Cold War Models
It is a very rare kit and usually go for silly money whenever they pop up on Ebay.
I was given the complete kit free of charge by one of my mates with just one condition - it got built.
And it did the following week.
It tends to be used at most of the shows as the centrepiece for the display.

A great kit, well worth an updated re-release, in my opinion.
We came so close.

For the 1/144 clan, Crown's B-52 came with a complete arsenal of nukes. Two Hounddog's, 4 Skybolts, 12 SRAM's plus the decoy Quail. I have most of them in the bottom of my spares tote.
Maybe a little dio in the making.
