BIG Russian Jet Groupie GB

Zu Befehl Herr Generalfeltmarschall!

Sprues will be cut and pictures will be posted.

Is this our front or are we regrouping to the GB forums Herr Generalfeltmarschall?

Modeling trumps all social commitments, especially marriage----get to work...

My first WIP will be August 4th.

Sorry about the delay, I am celebrating a marriage :)

WIKEPEDIA:

Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants).

I wonder if that production total includes the Chinese built J-7, a licensed copy of the MiG-21???

Wikipedia says the MiG-15, 18,000+.  The good ol' Mig-21 is listed a second (most produced supersonic AC), with 11,000+ built.  I dunno...consider the source before you bet the farm.

I wonder which jet fighter is the most produced in history???  

In that case I'll be coming in with my Eastern-bloc mud-mover.

Herr Feldmarschall, I'll be building in 1/32, not 1/48 if you want to make that change on the roster.

Last night I started on a MiG-29M until the -21MF gets here...

Vance---either of those is gonna be cool but we could use more Fitters in here--we're a a little MiG heavy right now...

lmao - no, no paper involved in mine. I'll be building either the Italeri Su-22 M4 or the Fujimi MiG-21PF.

Seems like fun, I might be able to squeeze in either a 1/72 or 1/48 Academy MiG 21

Theuns

Alright, we're cooking with jet fuel now...Texgunner is in w/ a MiG-17...

Ruddratt - Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-21MF w/ some AM stuff

Fermis - In with something (both a/c if I know him)

Stikpusher - a 1/48 MiG-21 or MiG-29

Vance - In with something (better not be made from paper)

Svenne - 1/48 Eduard MiG-21BIS

Ninetails - Su-7

Dre - 1/48 MiG-21 or MiG-29

Oddman - Revell 1/48 MiG-21

Texgunner - Hobbyboss 1/48 MiG-17

That's 9 MiG drivers right now, and if ya'll M*O*JO's are lucky I'll grace this GB with me own MiG.  Ya'll need to start posting some WiP's and stop flapping those gums...

Manstein's revenge

I've got that Hobbyboss MiG-17 and it is cherry...would love to see it built up...

Hey Manny, send that kit my way and I will build it for you!

Mo' MiG coming up!  Heck, count me in, if you'll have me.  I've never been in a GB before but here we go!   I'm ordering that MiG-17 in two minutes!  Talley-ho!

Gary

Needs more MiG...

MiG it...MiG it real good

I've got that Hobbyboss MiG-17 and it is cherry...would love to see it built up...

As the world's slowest builder, I've never been part of a group build.  However, maybe that would be a good "motivator" to pick it up a lil'.  Lately, I've been enthralled with 50's jets.  A MiG-17 would sure fit the bill here.  I've found the MiG-17F at Sprue Brothers in 1/48 (HobbyBoss).  Does anyone have any coupon codes for them?   I might just dive into this one...

Thanks, Gary

It wasn't sprue, but I did start cutting the major Black Box resin components from their pour stubs (the ejector seat is flippin' amazing!). Also, found a company called Linden Hill in my search for  AM decals - they had some nice sheets for the 21 in 1/32 scale. Never used their stuff before, but they had exactly what I was looking for.

Looks like we got players in this BIG MiG Groupbuild:

Ruddratt - Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-21MF w/ some AM stuff

Fermis - In with something (both a/c if I know him)

Stikpusher - a 1/48 MiG-21 or MiG-29

Vance - In with something (better not be made from paper)

Svenne - 1/48 Eduard MiG-21BIS

Ninetails - Su-7

Dre - 1/48 MiG-21 or MiG-29

Oddman - Revell 1/48 MiG-21

You groupies need to start cutting sprue...

Welcome Dre and Oddman...

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.

Well, I went ahead and ordered a 1/32 MiG-21MF and some Eagle Strike decals to do an Afghan bird.

So, sign me up!!

Recon MiG-21 is reporting that hundreds of modelers are liniing up for this BIG Groupbuild...

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.

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.

Probably gonna open it up to all MiG or Sukhoi made fighter jets...

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?
