Small painting update for you today. Today we are going to do some more Team Yanker, so over the weekend I painted some additional troops. Always good to add in something new!
A month or so ago I got some new stuff in a sale, basically I bought whatever French they had on hand. So I decided to add some planes and paint some Mirages.
Sadly each bow had 1 plane with the tail fin badly bent.
50% failure rate, pretty annoying.
I decided to spray the other and try to fix these in the down time. First attempt was hit tap water and bending it back but I snapped one off!
I glued it back but figured I would have to email support and get replacements. But next day I decided to try boiling my planes to see what that would do.
After a few seconds they straightened right out, even the glued one!
In the mean time I was making good progress paint8ng the other 2. But found another irritation in the decals.
Heres is the sheet of water slides. I find you really need these for planes or they dont look right. But to my great annoyance the blue dot which goes in the red and white ring is a separate one! So you have to do it twice with one tiny water slide and there are a bunch!
Even more annoying on the box art they have clearly added the circles with photoshop, so even BF didnt use these.
Anyway here are the 2 I got finished. They look pretty cool I think, hopefully they dont immediately get shot down by stupidly cheap AA missiles!
Will get to the other 2 soon. After that I have some infantry to do, probably will procrastinate on that...
