Beany's big Big BIG MiG

Post by beany »

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.

Looks like you have parts from more than one kit Al.

...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...)

bestest,

I didn't take photos of the fuselage halves for some reason - this is what the instructions show:
