Would Aeroflot markings count? They do use a winged sickle and hammer in their livery + cccp. If so Ill jump on board.

I am doing some cold war era nuke subs for a GB somewhere else, could build an Alfa class 1:700 soviet sub, except subs dont have external 'soviet" markings :( Would that work? The kit is 1:700 ARII Red Star alfa class sub.

I must be crazy, given my GB load, but I have heaps of Soviet stuff in my stash. I have no idea what it'll be at this point but I'll tentatively sign up. Eight months is a long time! Cheers, Mike/TB379

Hi Scott, I have four or five (six...) GBs in progress and will be launching my own (Achtraden) on the GB forum in about a week, what can I say, I'm a styrene junkie! My inclination at the moment is toward ICM's MiG-3 or Tamiya's T-72, both of which came in recently, but I have plenty else on standby, Trumpeter's KVs, Academy's MiG-21 and MiG-29. I could even be a real glutton for punishment and tackle Esci's BMP-1. I have Zvezda's BMD airborn armor, and have been looking for an excuse to build that Tamiya Su-122 as the first step on a winter diorama... And lots more MiGs and Sukhois. Even the Orlyonok! Let's see what the next eight months turns up, for the moment put me down for the MiG-3. Cheers, and thanks, Mike/TB379

In the original post I though we could start right away, if there was enough interest, and as of now I have 11 (including myself) signed up so sounds like enough to me. So have at it! ![Thumbs Up [tup]](/emoticons/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif) But remember you don't have to start now, we'll be doing this GB till June so plenty of time still remains. See ya Scott

Hey, Everyone Started mine over the weekend. Decided to go with Italeri/Zvezda 1/35 ISU-152 with an Eduards barrel and Fruilmodel tracks. Will keep posting WIP pics as build moves along. Slight problem with the ISU-152 (i.e. I put the roadwheels on backwards!![Banged Head [banghead]](/emoticons/icon_smile_banghead.gif) ). So I'll be reposting some WIP pics of my "new" build Tamiya's 1/35 T-62A w/ Barrel Depot Main Gun. See ya Scott

Excellent! I have to finish couple things first then get going on my sub mini-fleet including the Alfa. Some of the armor kits mentioned here sound (and look) REAL nice.... Look forward to this! The kit particulars are: 1:700 ARII Modern Subs Series 3 - Kit # A643, the Red Star - Alfa Class Oh, the Hobby Boss 1:700 modern sub offerings are better/cheaper than the ARII old molds, if anyone feels the needs for Nuke Speed ;)

Hi chaps! I'm in, if that's OK, with a 1/72 Roden IS-3 Stalin heavy tank. I was thinking of a T-54, but the Polish scheme looked more interesting (it has an eagle on it!). I also have a MiG-21 in 1/72 from Academy, but I can't work out which country the scheme is for! It's all over BMF, with a black cat on the tail, and the writing 'MG-47' on the nose, and a black and white roundel. I'm guessing it's not Soviet! There's also a 1/48 Eduard Polikarpov I-16 as used in the Spanish civil war, but, I don't think that's acceptable?

Hey osher Got you down for the IS-3 for now. One of the requirements of this GB is the subject must have Soviet markings or like in the case of the Alfa Submarine have no marking or only been used by the Soviets. Hope your ok with this. Scott

Hi Randy -- Awwww, you've made me blush! It's seriously good to have my work appreciated, my friend! But don't sell your own short, you're a darn good styrene surgeon too! Well, I guess that clinches it, I'd better build that MiG! I have the parts laid out for inspection, there are a few things to do, give them a good scrub to get rid of the demoulding agent, sand back the fabric detail (for some reason moulded as raised ribs rather than depressions of stretched fabric), consider the Squadron vacform canopy, get the Express Masks and shop around for some AM decals. I have the edition of the kit with ten markings choices and I would like to do five of them, but I've read in reviews that the ICM decals are useless, they'll shatter. I can give them a go with a heavy application of Microscale Liquid Decal Film and see if it'll hold them together (MS suggest that for any decals that look suspect at all). We could coordinate, if you like, and make sure we do different schemes? Or would you like to go head to head on substantially the same scheme? Cheers, looking forward to it, Mike/TB379
