1/600 Air Wars

Just painted up some Tumbling Dice 1/600 1970's era R.A.F Aircraft to use with the Airwars C21 rules .The aircraft are nice for such tiny things and were easy to piaint up , I have put tiny earth magnets on them so I can take them off the stands for easy transportation.The Decals are from Doms decals and were surprisingly easy to apply . I have a few more Brits and some Ruskies to do . By the way Tumbling Dice are one of our new sponsers in this years Raffle more news soon .
