ok,here we go,
whos up for a cold war jets campaign 1947-1991.
there really is something for everyone here,
not only do we have the fighters such as phantoms,jaguars,migs etc but also bombers,not to mention nearly every airforce in the world.
if you cant find something to build within these 44 years your not trying hard enough!
i was thinking of a start date of 1st feb 2011 for 6 months.

Probably Hasegawa's 1/48 Saab J35 Draken.
Maybe an early version?

Just signed up. How about these for ribbons
It's a bit rough, but can be refined. For me the U2 is one of the iconic shapes of this period.

All the best

I love cold war stuff... I am in, not sure with what yet. Have a few jets in the stash, from some F84s, century series to tomcats and some MiGs. Look forward to the Campaign, cheers.
