Wokka Wokka Wokka - UH-1 part 2

With the builds complete the Hueys were treated to a coat of US Olive Drab while I pondered markings.

Wokka Wokka Wokka - UH-1 part 1

Two of these wingless wonders were kindly sent to me a while back by Paul at Plastic Warriors.
I decided at an early stage that I'd assemble the thing then paint over the glazing.  I think these are Revell kits.  They went together quite well - any resulting dodginess is down to me.
One thing I noticed with the first build was that it didn't 'sit'properly.  This was partly cured by adding some weight underneath the cabin.  For the second build I was better prepared and added the weight internally.  This took the form of a scrap 15mm horse, though I accept that I may have misunderstood the concept of 'Air Cavalry'....

MiG-17 part 3

 I managed to get the Fresco finished during the week and celebrated yesterday's nice weather by taking photos outside.  In a crazy twist I went for Romanian markings - one of several Warpact sets which came with the kit.
I have more aircraft coming soon - but not a wing in sight.  Start practicing your 'wokka wokka wokka' noises now....

Guns of the North

Following on from my recently featured Confederate gunners, here are their opposite numbers in dark blue.  Again, they are Armies in Plastic figures and guns.
