Aircraft of the Cold War Group Build.

That's an interesting build for the plane lovers, with historical touches...

For any question or doubts like:
"-is my aircraft valid for this entry...?"
Please post it here!!

The GB will run from July to September.
Any scale

Thanks.

A very nice kit Colin I think you'll like it.

Forgive my ignorance, but could I ask what dates the " Cold War " encompasses? I mean to say is it up to the fall of the Berlin wall or are we talking about 50's, 60's timelines?

It gets great reviews from all who have built it. I'll be adding PE to the seats, but that's all I intend to do extra.

I was just wondering about a couple of kits I have, an F-4 Phantom and a F-14 Tomcat kit , they are the only kits I have close enough to any GB this year been a mainly Sci Fi modeller

I've been wondering too. In my opinion it would include any Nato or Warsaw pact aircraft that operated between 1950/1990. However, say you have a Tornado to build it should be built as it operated in that time frame, so no Gulf War markings for example.

According to Wikipedia, the generally accepted dates are from 1947 - 1991. I found this site which might be useful:
