                        FOREIGN AIRFORCE MiG BUILD. (no question mark in this topic)

                        RULES: Any MiG is acceptable, but it has to have markings for an airforce other than the Soviet airforce. What-if projects not allowed. PE, AM are fine. Builds can be shared with any other group build or whatever.

                        Start date: January 10 2005. (You can join in the middle or whenever, though.)

                        End date: May 2005.
                        Post on this thread if you want to join.

                        Edit(5/2/05):I am sorry to say, no new members may join the build at this point.

                        List of group builders:

                        This one seems interesting.

                        I really like the idea, but can I handle NOT putting Russian stars on my Mig.......................
                        Dunno.

                        Well, come the end of January, and depending on the progress of the GB's I have on atm, I would love to get my Mig 29 out of the cupboard.

                        I'm doing a J-7e, which is a Chinese fighter derived from the Mig-21 for the Demonstration group build. The J7e looks like a longer Mig21 with a cranked delta wing, planning to do PLAAF demo team colors. Does this fit into the rules? Am I cheating? :)

                        Well, that's OK I guess... but it would be bettr if you could do a mig-21 in Chinese colors. but the j7 is fine.(i would prefer an actual mig, but if you've nothing else, the j7 will be perfectly fine) yay. 5 of us now.

                        I got a Tamiya 1/72 Mig-29 that I can put in Indian Air Force markings. Smile [:)] Plus this will give me practice for putting one in Peruvian Air Force Colors! Cool [8D] I'll have a couple of kits done by then - WOW, more than 4 kits done this year! I haven't built this many in a year since before high school![:0]

                        Should be okay, here's a test link to the upload section where the picture is now...



                        the link is ...
                        http://rongeorge.com/albums/upload/gbfmigs1.sized.jpg

                        Just make sure you right click on the image and then click property to get real file name, as the upload process resizes and renames the file. I'll provide the updated link once its moved to its final place

                        Well, I had no idea it was so hard to find info on 29's used by different countries!Shock [:O]

                        It's no problem finding WHO used em, but pics of this lovely bird (which I think the F18 was partially modelled on!) in foreign livery aren't exactly falling from the sky......

                        More research I think.

                        The Mig-29 kit that I have is Hasegawa's in 1/72. I was gonna do it in IAF colors, but I got wind that the USAF had ( for a time, anyway) a Mig-29. I'd really like to find some pics of that! - Calvin

                        Okay, You've talked me into it. Put me down for Hobbycrafts MiG-15 in 1/72. I'll get back to you on which air force (although I'm leaning towards Egyptian)

                        lodni_k: The USAF bought a dozen from "an undisclosed source". As far as I can tell they were stripped of all markings and USAF markings were never applied. One is at the USAF museum (or National Museum of the USAF as it's called now) I haven't been able to locate the rest of them. What I would like to see are one of the four Su-27s that are rumoured to be at Nellis AFB.

                        Posted to the old thread. Help if I open my eyes!

                        I have a MIG-21 in Iraqi markings. It's about 75% complete but I had intended to used it in my first yet simple diaroma. Will that qualify?

                        If it's OK, I'd like to join this build. Probably a Mig-29, maybe the Revell 1/32 in Luftwaffe colours, or even the 1/144 as well (from one extreme to the other!). I have this link to info on the Mig-29, which if you scroll down contains listings for each country, and the origin of their Mig-29s: http://www.aeronautics.ru/archive/vvs/mig29-01.htm I'd love to the Mig-29s used by Israel, but I have no information on them.
