I finally bought some of Tumbling Dices 1/600th aircraft after walking past their stall at nearly every show in the Southwest over a 4 year period and always saying "nice, but I just don't fancy another period".

My best mate (who is also a gamer) always loved the idea of Korean Mig V Sabres so I thought a starter pack for under a tenner wouldn't break the bank.  Little did I know that this would lead me to a painting a large collection of aircraft not only for Korea but also for Vietnam.  I now have (1 model to a flight) enough aircraft for a US Navy Alpha Strike as well as a USAF strike package.  I have stayed away from the B-52s but one of the scenarios in Downtown needs 20 models so this would have to be a huge demo game (and over £100 worth of metal).

I played around with making my own decals to supplement the excellent ones from Dom's Decals (the HH-53C has his National Insignia), which for USN aircraft with the light paint schemes have done me okay (remember these are all 1/600th aircraft).
