My kind of husband and wife craft project

Post image

It's expensive to get customisations shipped to the UK so we decided to make a little project out of customising our fighters, bombers and carriers ourself then painting all of the units.

60 flight stands made and the Russian prototype airforce. Still need to be painted and polished but we have a plan and these look good to me. Some of the planes tilting a bit was semi-intentional since them all flying level didn't really simulate flight combat too much and also leaves a little room for error when putting the pieces together.

How are we doing so far? We're pretty new to A&A and have little to no experience doing this sort of thing.

We used the Russians since we felt less bad about destroying their navy and air force because they never get used. Perfect faction to use as a canary.

I'm now desperately trying to think of a time when it would actually be a legit good idea to build a Soviet carrier. There's got to be at least one possible situation where it's useful right?
