Four More Aircraft for AirWar C21 Baltic Conflict

Good Evening all!
I know it has been some time since I have posted and painted anything. Well this weekend I am doing both. I have painted up four more aircraft for my upcoming games of AirWar C21 at the club focusing on what if air battles over the Baltic.

A view of the 12 aircraft I have painted so far

The Russians are on top include, SU-27's, Mig-29's and SU-24's. The Allied force are Swedish JAS-39 Gripen's, American F-16"s and Finnish F-18's

Another view of the full force.
One of the first scenarios I will run at the club is based of the incident that took place in Sweden last year when two SU-24's entered Swedish Airspace south of the island of Orland. Check out the link to an article about the incident. The Aviationist website

So for the scenario I needed some SU-24's and I was able to order two from Tumbling Dice. 

SU-24's ready for action




For another scenario I have been following the news about a joint, Swedish, Finnish and US training exercise involving JAS-39's, F-16's and F-18's. Check out this article here about the exercise Joint Exercise.

There has been an increase in air activity around Sweden and recently Russian TU-22's and SU-27's were flying towards Sweden at supersonic speed while not using there transponders. Here is an article about the recent activity Recent Activity.

Stay tuned for a game report, I will be trying out the rules this coming weekend.
Time to start shooting!

Mig-29's and F-16's for the Baltic Battles!

Hi everyone!
     Well I had to go to the Urgent Care today because this cold is kicking my ass!  Oh well now I am a little off because of the medicine with Morphine in it.  Well I hope it will help me get better.  In between coughing and going to the Urgent Care unit I was able to paint up two F-16's with an aggressor paint scheme that I figured would work well in the Baltic Battles that I have planned.

I did some research and the upcoming exercise that will involve the U.S., Sweden, and Finland will participate in this coming March.  The US will be using F-16 during the exercise. So I figured I would paint them in the aggressor paint scheme. 

Mig-29's







To go with the F-16's I painted up two Mig-29's to help improve the Russian's force.  I have some more surprises coming for the game.  Enjoy the pictures and I look forward to any comments.

Have a good week.
