modelling minion Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Surely there must be more of you out there that want to build something with either red stars on it or some of those funky markings from the ex-Soviet republics! We need a LOT more interest if we are going to get this one over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just to be clear, this is for former USSR "republics", not other countries in the Warsaw Pact. For example, Polish and Czech subjects wouldn't fit. Is that correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, there is another proposed GB for NATO/WARPAC 1990's and beyond which would cover those subjects and I don't want to step on the organisers toes. Can we still tempt you to take part? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that I'm surprised that there haven't been more takers as Soviet stuff always seems popular. You may well be onto something here Rich, a few well placed raids on members stash's should help move things along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, the collapse of the USSR and what followed completely did not add popularity to this GB in the territory of the former USSR. For many of those who remember this, it is quite difficult. Those who do not remember this, because they were small, despite all the negative propaganda against the USSR, they also gradually begin to realize that something went wrong. Regarding the West, I can only supposed. While the USSR was alive, in the West they were forced to observe some high standards and maintain a high standard of living, otherwise a crisis could have occurred hypothetically. As soon as the USSR was gone, it made no sense to maintain high standards, so it seems to me that there is a gradual reduction in social standards (increase in retirement age, cuts in benefits, etc.).Therefore, many in the West and in the East, comparing then and now, somewhere they realize that it was better then. Therefore, probably, this critical point is not popular. Of course, from the point of view of the modeller, a lot of exotic camouflage options have appeared such as ukrainian Su-27 or Azerbaijani MiG-29, which would hardly have been with "Red Stars", but ... but much nicer is the "Red Star". 🤗 B.R.

We will need to keep this one alive and hope we get enough to sign up to make next years vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
