and some of their B-17 details...

I've got a few candidates here!

Will likely go with the 1/72 SU-15 first, then one of the Eduard kits.

You have the whole "F series !!!  Flagon will be cool...

F@#$ !!!

There's many, many more "F"s out there! Doesn't EVERY Soviet fighter start with an "F", and bombers with a "B".

I'm leaning heavily on the Flagon! Just gotta wrap up a couple A-7s first!

I haven't seen him at the Party meetings

Me Mig has arrived. Very pedestrian Revell kit.

A CLEAR instrument panel (w/ decal)...that's kinda different. I'll probably have to do some sculpting to get the ejection seat to fit.

I'm think the 1964 (my birthyear!) Soviet version. I got enough different shades of green to weather it up reel good!

I can't wait till ya'll MOJ0's actually start building...

Wings and Vert Stabilizer glued...shouldn't need much fill...

Fuselage cut, cleaned, and test-fitted.....looks like it will need some fill...

Canopy and Instrument panel (?!?!)  futured and covered...

Can't do much on the cockpit til the ejector seat arrives and I do an ejectorectomy...

Query:  The destructions appear to indicate I'm supposed to put the decal on the underside (away from the seat...upside down???) of the instrument panel; then paint the front (facing the seat. Is this correct???

Haven't seen an IP like that before. Haven't done many jets....

What planes for the group build?  I have never done one before, I was asked to join when I didn't know what model to build, sooo Is it Migs? I saw someone type they love Migs, so is that the deal, Migs or can it be any Russian aircraft? or just any aircraft?

Any Russian a/c that starts with the NATO code-letter designator "F"----post 1953...

Ah Okay then well I did choose my super tomcat but thats not allowed, I've got a 1/32 Mig 29UB and a 1/32 Mig 21MF, it will probably be the Mig 21. How do I join? just post pictures as I go along? Or is there something i need to do to join? Never done this before you see.

You are officially joined.  Now start building and posting pics...I'll let you know how you're doing along the way.  Get to work...

I will soon as I move into my new apartment on Friday lol.

Will do the mig 21.

Seems to be a few Trumpeter Mig 21's going to get done, I look forward to seeing all of these models being made and I look forward to my first group build, this is great as I have never been to America and yet I know people from all over the world can join in together thanks to this US magazine, I love this about the internet, connects people. So yes I will do a Warsaw pact Mig 21MF whichever has the best colour scheme to my eye, well I look forward to starting and I also start a degree in October so I will have my work cut out!!! My kit will be the Trumpeter 1/32 Mig 21MF you all know what the box looks like so I wont post a pic.

Alright!  Alright!  I hear you Herr Field Marshall, sheesh...(patience yound Jedi, he mumbles under his fetid breath...)  While this is NOT my Group Build entry, I thought I would "warm up" with another fine Soviet aircraft.  In fact, a worthy entry it would make on its own accord!  Here is my AMT (Ertl, ?) Mig-27 Flogger D, in 1/48 of course.  She is all but finished, needing only some loose ends and a few fiddly bits (and maybe just a smidge of putty in a couple spots).  I'm sure proud of the result!

Looks like the "swing-wings" are workable.....neat.

Whal, I 'magine! 

They are swingin' baby, swingin'!!

Well if masking tape counted as building you'd be ahead of the game---but it don't, so start cutting and gluing styrene asap...

Watching a Farmer auction. God I hate that.

I heard crops were bad this year, but they've resorted to auctioning off the farmers now?!?!?!

Okay, can we please get back to building those "F"ing planes?

What is this probe for?

That probe-looking thing could be a drag parachute housing, maybe?
