I've been busy today, sorting things out ready for the return to work tomorrow, so have done very little at the workbench. I did get the Soviet decals applied to four Tumbling Dice Su-9 Fishpot interceptors, however, which took a lot longer than usual as the buggers refused to sit down, despite lashings of Decal Soft and some colourful language, made worse by the fact that the little red stars are very, very little and have to be the right way up! It didn't help that I'd matt varnished the aircraft before adding the decals, which tends to stop them sticking as well.
Next time, I'll make them Libyan as that only requires a big green roundel! I have also started on the four Su-7 Fitter A's but have only done the one thus far, although the remaining planes should be sorted this evening, leaving only a couple of Yak-28P Firebars to be finished ready for a game of Target Locked On! against my Cold War Chinese at some point. I now have enough aircraft for a decent 'What If?' clash over the Sino-Soviet border c1970, which should be a very interesting scenario and a good way to get a firmer grip on the rules.
Those look really nice!
