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.

I've got the kit(s), but need to decide on the decals. I'm being pulled towards the Mig-21 in Romanian colours (I can't stand the German colours that come with the Revell kit, so ugly), or I might do the Mig-29 in Luftwaffe colours using the kit decals. Ah, choices, choices! (or, even, both kits...)

Has anyone seen a review of the Hasegawa 1/72 Mig-29 (kit #E11)? I want to put one in Aztec's Peruvian markings later & don't want to waste the sheet on an inaccurate kit. I know Academy makes one and hear it's pretty good. Any thoughts? - Calvin

Sorry guys, I have to pull out of this GB.
The kit I had is now in the hands of my younger brother (it's a 'keeping the peace thing')
I'll check the budget and see if I can get another, but it doesn't look good.

SorrySad [:(]

Try this one...

It asks you to delete ActiveX objects used by IE via the Tools/Options/Temporary Internet Files-Settings button, then the "View Objects Button". Be forwarned that clearning out just the "unknown" or "damaged" objects as stated in the article did not work for me. However, when I started deleting 'installed" (presumably good) objects, it solved the problem for me. Specifically, MSN money charting object was the one that did it for me. Just to prove it to myself, after I reinstalled that ActiveX object again from the MSN website, the same problem returned. Deleting it, magically I can save Jpegs again.

It's definate now that I'll be doing the Egyptian MiG 15. I'll look around and see what I can dig out of storage, I may still have a Revell 1/32 MiG-21 that I'll do in Croatian markings (no promises on this one though)

I'm ready. Got the kit sitting on the desk, got my paint and tools ready. Still looking for the MiG-21. For any one interested, try www.lindenhillimports.com they have their own line of decals and they also carry AM parts. Did I mention they only deal with Russian AC?

Hi,
this seems very interesting! I actually have a couple of MiGs in my closet. I wasn't going to start working on them just now (I have to many other kits ongoing) but why not. I am a very slow builder (nothing completed for the last two years) but put me in for a MiG-15 from the Iraqi AF, to start with anyway. Then I have a dead-line to watch out for!

In Oct 1997 the United States bought 21 MiG-29 fighter jets from Moldova, " to keep them out of the hands of potential enemies". They were brought to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio for studies.

I think I stumbled across some pictures on the net some week ago, but I'm not able to find them now ...

Hehe. Nothing like a GB to force people to build fast, eh? Tell me if you guys think May is too early, It can be made a little bit later.

OK, a slight change. I'm going from a 21st Century multi-coloured 1/32 Revell Mig-29 in German colours, to a 1960's 1/72 Kopro bare metal finish Vietnamese Mig-15 UTI (trainer). Just a slight change... Anyway, model is opened, and ready for working on!
