BIG Russian Jet Groupie GB

Cool, thanks!

Poke around here for some interesting foreign schemes... national markings maybe problematic.

Well, I've bought so much aftermarket crap for the Su that I almost HAVE to build it (even hoping that Kenny L. at Gator can make some custom masks for the splinter camo), so....I'm definitely leaning hard in that direction. Not to mention the Su-27 is my favorite jet. Love that beast. :-)

Porkbits, you know that my vote goes for the Sukhoi.   But the MiG wouold be nice to see as well.

Hope you use your time wisely!

Aha, Vance, so you can relate to my plight. :-) Dept of One = some modicum of job security, but like you wrote, the work never stops. :-)

Vance!  where have you been?  long time hearing from you

John

John!!  Busy summer at work, and I ended up taking on several freelance projects because OF COURSE those all show up in the summer. And of course, I am a bona-fide softball addict. Played on 2 teams again this season, 60 games all told. And add to that the daughter had to be at the gym for cheerleading practices twice a week. Where did the summer go?

Porkbits

Man, I don't know. And that's not even all of my vacation time. What sucks is that because I'm a department of one, I can't take tons of vacation time. And what sucks even more is that I don't get paid out for vacation days I don't use, and they don't carry over to next year. Sigh.

So I end up with a wad of days I have to burn at the end of the year. The wife, house, and kids make sure there is always something to do, but I seem to burn through my personal to-do list in about three days lol.

But at least the MiG or Flanker will keep me on a modeling project until next spring. :-)

I hear you! I don't have the PROBLEM of that much vacation piling up, but I am the only graphic designer at my company. So, the project list never really stops, and I know there will be extra work waiting when I take off for vacation.

Sweet mother!!! What is a person supposed to do with a whole month off??!??

Nice!!

I plan to get back in the saddle in a big way in December. Accrued enough vacation days to take the whole month off. :-)

So maybe get this GB going again.

  Gentlemen... I just resumed putty & sanding on my Su-22 last night...

Hey, guys!

Kitty Hawk's new-tool 1/48 MiG-25 is finally here! Woo hoo! Been a loooong wait. Got mine at Sprue Bros.:

store.spruebrothers.com/.../kth80119.htm

Now comes the hard part--Eduard Su-27 or MiG-25 for my next build? Man, this is a tough one.

Hope everyone is well!

PB

Moohahaha! Yer welcome. :-)

Just what I need..    a sale on 1/32 jets!  

Sadly, I have most of those in my stash... 

Hey, fellow Russian jet fans:

Squadron here in the States is having a "big kits" sale until this Sunday. I spotted a few MiGs on there, including the Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-29 for around $80. Also saw Eduard's Su-27 and UB re-pops for around $80 or $90. Not sure if those are good sale prices or not (can't always be sure with Squadron), but...figured it's worth a post.

Fall is getting closer and I'm getting the building jones again....Kitty Hawk MiG-25......Eduard Su-27.....decisions, decisions.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Think I will, gotta get this Mirage done then I will do the Mig-25 I remember last year I put up a post asking why on earth there were no new models of the Mig-25, looks like I got my wish lol.

C'mon, Dean, do another! :-)  

The kit does look great! Waiting on decals to arrive, Polish AF Mig 29 will be the scheme. I will do the GWH first.

Hi guys, looking forward to seeing these new kits, the GWH Mig-29 and the Mig 25 Porkbits said he will get, I think when I get back from Latvia next month I will possibly, HA possibly! I will be getting the Kitty Hawk Mig 25 as well. But I have started the Mirage 2000 and have to get some parts from Amazon for it before I can continue namely a cafetiere mesh filter. Anyway great to see this GB is still here and at the top! Might do another for this yet. Cant wait to see the Migs guys!

Nice! The GWH Mig is apparently a great kit with really detailed molding.

Should be getting my Eduard Mig-29ub today from Squadron, and the GWH Mig-29A from sprue brothers...

I went ahead and got three kits last night at the hobby store, cuz we are having a summer sale and my boss said I could take my pick before the sale started and take the stuff home and pay for it as I can!

got my third Fw190 kit a Dragon master kit

Hasegawa Saab draken

Hobby boss TBM-3 Avenger

all in 1/48

So I'll have to get the MiG next time.

John

everyone was asleep when I got home, so now I just hide behind the model boxes, I do get more work done that way.

falconmod

Oh no,  I feel the need, the need....  to go buy that 1/48 Eduard MiG-21 weekend kit.

John

....well?!???!? We've already established that the dog won't talk, so ....

Well, lets see, i get a discount at the hobby store I work at part time,  the dog won't tell anyone, there's model boxes stacked all around the work bench, who'd notice another!   oh yea!  I need to save some $

John

P.S.  I do have a to buy stash at the store

Lol! Do it, John (and Vance!)

Oh no,  I feel the need, the need....  to go buy that 1/48 Eduard MiG-21 weekend kit.

John

...need to get my Su22 out of the "parking lot" and back on the bench...

That's good, as there's no end-date for this GB that I can think of.

No deadline, I have a "Fulcrum" that will need building but not building as fast as I used to.
