There is nothing wrong with sparse interiors, raised lines and soft details ... sounds like a third of characters from 'Baywatch' . OH well, I will get arrested for being not socially correct

lolololololololololololololololol

I seem to have lost my MiG19. So it'll be a 21 firstly, and maybe secondly.

[Dazzled]

You know I'm up for this one. 1/48th Hobbyboss Mig-17PFU initially, with a possible 1/72nd Foxbat to follow

I'll start a thread on my next day off

[Old_Tonto]

Looking forward to seeing this one Daz. I wish someone would make a decent 1/72 example.

[Stuart]

Is the KP one no good then OT?

[Dazzled]

It's not bad Stu, in fact it's decent enough that I picked one up recently in Masterbox packaging, but we could do with a more modern one in 1/72nd. The same goes for the -19. Trumpeter have been promising a new-19 for a couple of years but they have, as yet, failed to deliver.

I don't do Migs.
No really, I have a (supposedly) strict "no Migs allowed" policy for my collection. When I set up my thematic limits, I was so ticked off at them for completely hogging the limelight during the cold war and becoming synonymous for "Soviet fighter" that I decided to ban them, when all other Ruskies got promoted to collection theme.

So much for theory.

Over the years a few have snuck in, either in the shape of a WWII propellor beasty, or as part of some of my crazier collection projects. I could live with those.
And then there was a slight complication during the recent vacform GB, and a highly illegal 31 snuck in, because I needed one of it's missles as a master for conversion. Let it not be said that I'm a dogmatic ingrate; this plane has earned it's place on the shelves by it's most generous donation of rocketry

So, one Zvezda MiG-31 coming up..

[rob_van_riel]

We really need a 25 and a 29 in here folks, that would give us the complete jet lineup

[IronMan129]

Now things have settled down in my life and I have started modeling again I'd like to submit my first entry as a 1/72 Mig-31 Foxhound if that ok with everyone?

[Kitaholic]

As that will be three MiG-31 is it ok if I shift mine to a MiG-29? Not started the MiG-31 yet anyway

[IronMan129]

Hey Kitaholic, sorry if I've jumped in offering the same kit as you mate.
I have noticed though that all 3 Mig-31's are from different manufacturers and it would be really nice to see a comparison of what the 3 look like.

[Kitaholic]

Not a problem mate, It's just that after looking at the kit, what I want to do to it will take longer than the GB so be better to change choice

[IronMan129]

Ahh ok mate well hopefully if my -31 is completed in time I'm hoping to get either a -19 or a -29UB into the air too.

[fredk]

I can't start this for a while yet.
I've lost a box of model kits. I had a box with kits set aside for the various forum GBs and that box is missing.
It has my MiG 19, and two 21s in it. Right now all I can lay my hands on are a half built 21 and a started 15UTI.
I'm getting rather distracted about finding this missing box.

[Old_Tonto]

I feel your pain Fred. Do you have a significant other who may have moved it for you?
