1/35 Trumpeter SA-6 Gainful


Recommended Posts

My #2 entry for the NATO/Warsaw pact GB is the Trumpeter SA-6 Gainful.My first attempt at link and length tracks too! I'm a fan! Built pretty much OOB but with the over-length missiles shortened by 5mm.

Finished as a non-descript machine from the Nationale Volksarmee (because that's just about what Trumpeter do with their decals and no information on units or timing - however these were operational and awaiting any number of airborne incursions into East German airspace.

Finished with Vallejo, Tamiya and MiG AMMO paints.

I also see you managed to fit the six black rubber bits onto the missiles! :) Well done.

Yes and nearly threw the kit against the wall - damned fiddly!

Must drag mine from the stash, hope I can get close too yours!

It really is a nice kit. The most fiddly bits are the surgery to the missiles and fitting those hoses. Also if installing the link and length tracks late in the build then leave off the drive sprockets and fix later
