Up in the Air and Down on the Ground.

The final(?) pieces for our Cold War Gone Hot project are done and dusted. First a second view of the aircraft after Phil's titanic struggles with the transfers provided ~

The Battlefront kit of pointless parts, a Harrier VTOL Fighter-Bomber.

The SU-17 Fitter Fighter-Bomber also from Battlefront and thankfully sans pointless fiddly bits!

Secondly, five T55As for the Soviet force. Lovely little kits from Plastic Soldier Company which go together really well, bar fixing the spare fuel drums on the rear that is ~

A Command tank sporting one or two in the field modifications. Embellished with two spare Battlefront Soviet tank commanders naturally.

There was just one Tank Commander going spare so my Methodist genes told me not to be wasteful!

The remaining three T55As built straight from the box. As you know, Phil has painted all the vehicles while I have assembled the kits and done the basing and such. I've penned a piece for Wargames Illustrated about the project, warts and all, and hope it will appear sometime in the Autumn after Dan's visit to take the photographs to accompany it. Looks like I've been stood down now as Photographer 2nd Class! Oh Well....can't win 'em all. If nothing else it's a welcome back to pre pandemic normality.
