Bulldogs Away! Soviet Backed Boats Based

 


The Skytrex FAC's are now texture based and undercoated for painting, which I'm hoping to get started on tomorrow. I've also sorted out the Israeli boats for the opposition, from a mixed lot I bought on eBay years ago. No two of these were the same, so I've done some modifications to the armament to make modified versions of the standard types. This includes removing the 40mm gun mounts and replacing them with 76mm guns, stripping put the Harpoon launchers on a couple of models and replacing them with single Gabriel pods, then filling in some of the holes where weapons mounts won't be needed. It will be a bit different but not unrealistic for an imagi-nations African flotilla.

  1. I look forward to seeing these painted. Often been tempted by these myself. Wish they had continued the range to include some other types suitable for the Baltic

    1. It's a bit limited and they're very expensive now. Glad I got mine cheap.

  2. Hi Jim,

    We played Bulldog’s a while back. You may like to check it out as it uses similar types of models.

    Cheers
