I've decided to use 1/600th scale models for the Bag the Hun scenario project, now re-named Arctic Eagles, starting off with the Soviet fighters. The advantage of 1/600th scale is that I can use my existing bases or make some arctic themed ones, while the painting process is much faster than 1/300th and the models much less expensive. On the downside, I'll have to do some conversion work on the Bf-109s for JG5, turning them from G6 to G2 variants by removing the cannon blisters and bomb racks, nothing major but a bit of a pain. I also don't have a model for the DB-3. I'll get started on the Soviet fighters as soon as I can squeeze them in to the schedule.
Looking forward to this one!
