Title: Zvezda 'Topol' SS-25 Sickle ICBM
Post by: Bigkev on March 22, 2018, 07:52:46 AM

Hi All,
Well this is my first foray into the Missile SIG build.
I have chosen the 'Topol' Zvezda SS-25 Sickle ICBM in 1/72 as it always looked powerful and menacing on those Russian victory day parade pictures.
Still unsure whether to build it in transport mode, or launch position.
Some pictures of the build will follow, but for now here are a few pictures of the box art and instructions.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Will you be making Red Square to show off your new model - it would look good with the Kremlin wall behind it and the new SIG leader Comrade Zak taking the salute from Lenin's Mausoleum.

Just remembered that the Russian Wheels and Tracks SIG did this at Telford in 2016 -- we just need to replace Darth Vader with Comrade Zak.

Hi Msea,
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I didn't go that year so missed it.
Now regarding Zak, (Darth Vader), it wouldn't quite fit would it?
We are trying him to be a Yellow Coat not a black caped assasin.
Cheers,
Bigkev
