This is a sister build to my 'big Big BIG Intruder' build in the Naval Air GB II. Last time I offered this up for a GB I got a big "Go Away" tablet as it wasn't a bona fide FROG mould (it was for a FROG GB after all), but now I can build it all legit like here.
Parts have been cut off the sprues previously but nothing else has been started. A fair bit of plastic for the £10.00 I paid when my LMS sadly had it's closing down sale about 4 years ago now.
If anyone can actually shed any light on the actual provenance of the molds for this kit I'd be delighted to find out.
Cheers
Al.

Re: Beany's big Big BIG MiG
Looks like you have parts from more than one kit Al.

Re: Beany's big Big BIG MiG
...where's the front half of the fuselage? The fact that there are two pilots suggests that maybe it was split so you could do a twin-sticker from the same parts, but I'm not seeing ANY upperworks for the front (though it has a nice variety of intakes and splitters, as far as I can see...)

I didn't take photos of the fuselage halves for some reason - this is what the instructions show:mattbacon wrote:...where's the front half of the fuselage?
