Soviet aircraft completed

These models are part of my modern invasion of Scandinavia project and also some of the last pieces from my painting tray (ya!)


Tu-16 Badger Bomber

The Tu-16 was a 3d print and took a lot of cleanup to hide the print lines and my aggressive sanding wiped out some of the details. I sprayed it with Tamiya aluminum paint and then added some panel lines with a brush and GW Nuln oil. The results are great and it came out much better than I had hoped, including the windows, which were still pretty well defined. The varnish created some problems with the silver so the model was given a aluminum drybrush afterwards.

Yak-38 Forgers

These are made by Heroics and Ros and are great little planes. They were painted in Tamiya Dark Sea Blue and then highlighted with some sky blue added to the Dark Sea Blue. I painted the little red triangle and the flags, and the stars and number are decals.

I plan to use them for my upcoming games as air support for my Naval forces.
