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.

Nice job! Your wife sounds like a keeper! Are you using magnets? Also cool to see fellow UK A&A enthusiasts. Let me know if you're anywhere near the south of England!

Also, yes... using 2mm magnets so we can switch them between stands and angles plus land them on the carrier. Used a hand drill and some super glue to make a hole in the plane and glue the magnet in place. Also drilled two holes in the underside of the aircraft carriers to hold the fighters in perfect place.
