60s NATO Vs Warsaw Pact in Europe Gallery

[825]

Supermarine Scimitar F1, 800B Naval Air Squadron, HMS Eagle, early 1960s

 

 1:72 Xtrakit pretty much out of the box with (I think) Freightdog refuelling buddy pod on one of the starboard pylons. Brush painted with Xtracrylix on the upper surface and Citadel Ceramite White on the underside, glossed up with Kleer. 

 

Not an easy build and the trials and tribulations can be found in the build thread. But I think it looks fine and gives a good impression of this chunky, business like aircraft.

Hawker Hunter F6 56 Squadron 1960

Ok fellow modellers, I'm calling this one finished now as time is moving too quickly towards the end of the GB

It is the Academy 1/48 kit built OOB except for the SBS cockpit set as the kit one is totally wrong in size and scale etc. and it also has a metal pitot tube of an F6 Lightning as the kit plastic one was way too flimsy. Paints are Tamiya with MR Super clear coats, gloss for decalling then a satin mist to dull it down a bit with the gloss still showing as they would have been fairly clean and shiny.

I've enjoyed this build, and I don't think this was my last 50-60' German jet aircraft.

Not my most enjoyable kit but finished and in the cabinet with all its minor faults.

Well then, I finally finished my RF-4C. Not totally happy with the finish, but hey ho, that's life.

 

Hasegawa kit, decals from the kit and some old Microscale sheet for the nationality markings. Painted with Gunze and Tamiya.
