Hi,
I made this post to see what other people are thinking of building for the Cold War GB. I am building a M113 in West German markings. A pic is tagged below and i will also be doing a diorama of a training scene probably.

I am going to build a Mig 25 (Foxbat). I wasn't planning on entering, but I won this model in the MFH auction and think it will work well for the Cold War GB.

Looking forward to the build.

According to both sides, none of what you are about to witness ever happened......

I just realized that my foxbat will be a little anachronistic. The earliest marking option on the actual kit (Mig-25RB) is 1992 and the end of the cold war is 1991(ish). I have ordered a different decal sheet and will be building the model as the plane flown by Viktor Ivanovich Belenko in 1976. It is just that his plane was a Mig-25P. Oh well.

If you don't mention it, no one will notice and the mods wont send the boys round to break your legs

Sadly not, I don't have a build for the SIG, just interested in the subject and a fan of the movie
