A group build that starts on my birthday? How could I say no?! I've got a couple of options in the stash, but will definitely be holding off until the fall/winter.

On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister

Had a strong feeling one of these would pop as a GB topic at some point - thanks Manny! I'm in with a 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-21MF. I'll also be adding an aftermarket resin 'pit from Black Box and doing up a NMF with red stars.

Not sure really. You seem very passionate about the subject. Figured a GB may follow, or it could be just wishful thinking on my part. In either case, I hope it becomes a 'go'.

I'm interested as well, but I don't yet know if I can commit to another GB right now.  

But this does give me an excuse to go shopping...  is this still limited to Fitter/Fishbeds?

if you do that, than there might be a slim chance that I will join this build, got a probable project comin' up to train my airbrushing skills, would probable be a Sukhoi Su-7.
But at this moment I can't say anything for sure.

btw if you need a badge just holla, lol
with regards, Ninetalis.

I could do this with the MiG-29M in my stash...still looking at -21's online.   There's a lot of nice decal options for the -21's.

I'd like to join, if I may. I won't be able to start until around the 2nd week of August but I've been out of the game for nearly 6 months now and this will be a great way to get back to it. I have Revel's 1/48 MiG-21. Never done a MiG before.
