I myself don't actually. But it's OK because the end date has not been changed, so everyone will have either more or the same amount of time.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

For the badge, you can just right click on the picture and then save it to your own server. This way you can resize it to be smaller or bigger if you wish. If you just want to use it as it and reference my original, you can use this URL...

for a smaller version use

that patch is looking pretty good. lodni_k what kit are you doing? and in what airforce scheme? i couldn't quite make out from your post. (i thought i would be the only IAF mig-29. guess not.Big Smile [:D]) also waikong, thanks a lot for the patch. could you put some pictures of othermigs in other airforces to? please? really please? like different model mig w/ other AF's. so this way the GB could have more than one badge..
