Just emerged from the repair shop is the aged Wellington - I think it's the Airfix version. My work has involved securing the tail parts and replacing most of the decals - the remaining originals were at best dry and flaky. It still looks a bit tatty but it'll do for game use.

Monday morning MiG
The recent Partizan 'plane purchase included about 50 postwar aircraft but the output of the Comrades from the East is woefully underrepresented. In fact there are only three WARPACT aircraft of which this Egyptian-liveried MiG-21 is by far the most respectable. I think it is the Airfix kit.
Like all the other models it had been built 'wheels down' and predictably the under cart had suffered over the years. So I simply snapped off the remains. Hence no photos of the underside...
Aside from that vandalism my contribution has been to varnish over the markings and glue a few bits back into place.

Meteor strike
First out of the plastic pile from my recent purchase is this duo of Meteors. These required no repair work and all the decals were intact so the work involved was limited to varnishing over the decals.
The camouflaged specimen is - I believe - a FROG kit of the Mk8. It's pretty basic but the lack of fripperies has probably helped it's survival.
I think this white version is the Airfix MkIII. The the paint finish is certainly unusual, but given that snow is falling as I type this, it might be just the thing!
