Blood Red Skies Collection Continues to Grow

Here are some photos of aircraft that I completed since the start of the COVID 19 situation.  I have really gotten back to my hobby desk as of late and hopefully this is the first of several posts as I complete some long dormant projects and get started on other efforts.

Russian Lend-Lease Hurricanes.  Still want to add some patriotic slogans, but I may wait until they have been through a battle or two and become 'veterans.'  These appear very dark, almost black, in this photo but they are actually Bronze Green and are much lighter in person.

Bf-109's for the Mediterranean Theatre.  They will be the primary foe for the Martlett's below.

Il-2 Stormovik's ready to take on some German ground targets.  Need to work out some better bases, but for right now these will be ok.

Here are the Martlett III's to take on my Africa/Italian themed 109's above.  These are painted as 880 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm.

Good start to the year.  At the moment, I have several things on the painting table, including the other three Stormovik's.  These three will be in some form of winter camp scheme but I don't know exactly what they will end up being.

How Time Flies!

Wow,

Almost six months since my last post!  It doesn't seem possible.  But I am re-committing to posting my hobby activities in the coming weeks.  As a start, I will post my activities from 2019:

28mm Figures Rebased - 173 Foot, 33 Mounted

Not that many new 28mm figures, but I sure did get quite a few rebased (at least for me).  The biggest new addition was the Blood Red Skies game system and related aircraft that I got painted.  That will hopefully continue into the new year.

As I write this we are starting the fourth week of the COVID 19 Pandemic.  Governments are warning that the next two weeks will be the most difficult - which is a very sobering statement given what we have already been through.  I will try to continue to hobby and post what I am getting done.  Hopefully, the activity will help both you and I mentally to get through this very trying time in our lives.
