Paging Dean, Dre, et al--Pulled the Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-19PM from stash... :-)

Yes, Comrade General Secretary!   (and thanks again for leading this!)

OK, she's officially launched! See you guys over there.

I have a MiG 9 on the way.....so lets start this thing.

Kind of like it.....hmmm....

"Pride of Mikoyan-Gurevich GB" ?

I gotta come up with a catch name, too? Lol, I was just gonna call it "MiG Group Build." I'll see what I can do....

Sooo.....   whatcha gonna call this MiG GB?   It's got to have a catchy name.

Yer welcome! Even if it wasn't my idea, guess I planted the seed? Anyway, looking forward to the Fulcrum.

Also, guess you guys are lucky that I'm the Slowest Builder Ever....? I'll probably give the GB a pretty generous deadline. :-)

Thanks PB for the idea of a MiG GB.   I'll continue the Fulcrum for this as I've got too many unfinished kits laying about the house (and that Flogger kit looks a little more involved than I want to tackle right now).

Sounds good, modelcrazy.

Dre, if you want to continue your 29 or start anew with the 23 (always liked the 23), no problem.

MiG-29M for me (if PB allows a kit that has had some preliminary work started).

Otherwise I'll pull a MiG-23 outta the stash.

I'd be in with a 3,9 or 21. I'll know when you make it official.

Steve

Any MiG, for sure! Dre posted this list previously in the thread:

+++++++++++++++++++++

If you're in, welcome! I'm going to make an official GB thread soon.

Pork,

Will this GB be for ANY Mig or just the 19 or 25?

1. Start a new thread.

2. Make up rules.

I think I can do that. :-)

As for a start date, I'm thinking sometime in November? I'm still trying to decide between the MiG-19 and the Foxbat.

Hosting is easy, just start a thread, make up the rules/dates and keep the second page open for competed pix and roster :-)

That being said, when do we get the dates!? LOL

I will depending on the dates join in if I may with my 1/32 Trumpeter MiG 19

Theuns

Lol, what have I wrought??? Was this my idea? I don't even remember. :-)

I'll accept leadership with reluctance, only because I haven't led a GB before. What do I do?

And I still need to decide between the Foxbat and 19. Although I'm leaning towards the 19.

I'd do a Mig GB.

I'll second that motion to nominate PB as Glorious Leader.

It's hard to restart something that has run its course.. no fault of yours.

It was PB's idea so I vote him, plus I was useless at restarting the last one lol.

Who's going to be The Boss on this GB (if we do another one)?

Wow that guy is a bit of a killjoy, honestly it's a good looking representation in my eyes, perhaps he had a test shot? because if you look at the tails of the Mig that was built the bulges are in the correct places and no correction was made there, but I would say the intakes are really bare on the kit, I do have some photos somewhere on my laptop of the Mig 25 RB from when I was in Latvia last year if you need reference pictures if you're making the Mig 25, though Eduard has made a set for the intakes, they're literally filled with rivets. Anyway I'm going to make the Mig-21 if it's a Mig specific build, I don't know what Air force yet as I don't want to make Iraqi or Luftwaffe, it has to be Soviet Bloc for me. What about you guys?

That Kitty Hawk kit may be inaccurate, but someone sure made it look great.

Ah! Yeah, I've seen this build, it's awesome. Thanks for link.

There's a guy over on another forum who seems to be a resident expert on the Foxbat. Here's his laundry list of problems with the kit:

LINK

Well PB as far as the Mig 25 being inaccurate I have seen it made and it looks spot on, it's probably too many people criticising for the fun of it,

Looks pretty good to me, though the guy who did make it shows where it needed corrected, here's a link and you can see for yourself, the kit is something I really want but cannot seem to find through any retailers in the UK not Hannants or even Amazon, I will find one though!

Works for me!

And I just realized last night that I have the Kitty Hawk MiG-25 that I bought last year. Hmmmmm! It's supposed to be inaccurate, but there is some aftermarket stuff available for it now.

And I have a bunch of Eduard MiG-21s. Gah. What to do, what to do.....

Dean, yeah, I'm assuming also that MiG-29 is the GWH kit.

I say we do a MiG-only GB...   there's enough of them, flown by so many different operators that it ought to be interesting.

Do you suppose that was the GWH kit? Well I am in for a MIG GB I have had the Mig 21 and 15 both Trumpeter 1/32 kits for too many years so I suppose it's time to open the box and make one of them. Or whichever type of GB I'm in.

That's a sweet MiG-29 you linked to, PB.    

I'm in with the Fulcrum if we decide on a MiG-specific GB.
