Badgers, Beagles, Fishbeds and Fearless




I've nearly finished the preparation and basing stage for the project now, with just some magnets to attach to the undersides of the Il-28 Beagles and MiG-21 Fishbeds, along with a single PR7 Canberra that I thought I'd add in as a Royal Air Force asset. I decided to cut back on the number of Beagles from nine to six, having located the three Tu-16 Badger bombers that I originally based and started to paint for my PLAAF forces. 

These are permanently attached to a stand, as they're too hefty to be magnet based. They're not the most accurate models, which is unusual for Tumbling Dice, but they will pack a punch as they're are equipped with AS-1 Kennel air to surface cruise missiles and piloted by Soviet crew. As a final extra, I based up HMS Fearless which wasn't involved in the Indonesian Confrontation but is just too cool not to include in my 1960's fleet.

  1. I like those big bombers- they look close enough for me.
