One Trick Pony update

A couple of months ago I mentioned I was working on a MiG3 Squadron for BRS shameless self promoting link and I just realised that I didn't show you the finished unit.

As I mentioned, it is white. The models are from Warlord and are in the new resin. This was interesting to work with. The models were very clean, with limited mould lines to worry about, but they did require cutting rather than scraping or filing - the resin frays rather than files. This isn't a problem once you work it out, in fact I found it quite easy. As they're pretty much weightless they don't need widgets or base extensions and work well with the standard Advantage bases

As they were going to be white I undercoated white (doh) then went for a sky blue underside. Decals  with the trade mark red arrows from Misc Minis. These were always going to be a PITA to apply - no reflection on Kevin, they're bloody awkward shapes and when you realise he never had a copy of the Warlord model to work with, it's a bloody miracle they fit at all - but with a little work they do. Kevin did these as a request including the individual patriotic slogans, which is a very nice touch, and theyre available now on his website here

These were also the first models I tried Tamiya Panel line solution on. It worked, but I suspect the resin models may not suit this approach doe to the shallower depth of detail.

Anyway, here we are . 122nd IAP standing ready to defend the Motherland. As long as were only expected to engage unescorted bombers at high altitude we'll be fine.................
