Cheers Jurgen, I've got one more T-55, a rather old ACE kit, that looks a bit grim so I'm thinking of something along these lines:

Also got some more bits coming from S&S....

That would be perfect.

New piece of kit from S&S:

SADF G6 Rhino

Never heard of it (looks so sci-fi!) and I suspect it never saw combat, but it did:

New project. SADF 44 Para Pathfinders.

Using the most excellent book Pathfinder Company: 44 Parachute Brigade - 'The Philistines' by Graham Gillmore as a guide, I thought I'd have a go at putting together a small patrol.
Figures are mainly from Underfire, with others from S&S and WeeFriends. The Sabres are converted from models cast by Shaun at S&S from masters scratch built by António Nunes. I just chopped them up and added a few bits...

Looking great Ash..reminds me of how many vehicles ..I have to put together..so many..

juergen: Just start with one, pick a photo of something cool and do a one off. I find if I get too much stuff sitting there taunting me, I tend to not know what to do first and end up doing nothing. It's almost as bad as running out of things to make!

Picked up a fairly cheap Mig 21 kit on eBay, added some dodgy paint and some rather nice Angolan decals

von Lucky · « **Reply #162 on:** March 05, 2017, 04:48:49 AM »

I like that - where are the decals from?

Ash · « **Reply #163 on:** March 05, 2017, 04:00:10 PM »

Got them from a chap in South Africa, great selection: http://www.mavdecals.co.za/index.php?cPath=22_27
