discussion Blooming Migs Blooming Build Rules

[Neil]

Hello All,

Thanks to Ian for his usual magic and setting up the thread and the inventive title which is admittedly better than ‘Migs’
So the usual rules:

1. Any Mig is eligible, any scheme, any variant and any build country, it does not need to be built in the Mikoyan factories, they had many built on license.
2. No Diorama, just the build please.
3. It can be on a stand and posed in flight or on the ground, but not part of a bigger diorama. So on a plinth with a rod is fine. Adding this rule as mine will almost certainly be done that way with a plinth, brass rod, in-flight Mig-21.
4. Any scale, any form (injection moulded, 3-d printed etc).
5. Kit should not be started, it can be bottom of the pile in the stash so long as it isn’t started.
6. Please start a build thread for your entry, the Mig type, model brand and scale and most importantly your name.
7. Start the thread with pictures of the kit, and sprues as ever, plenty of pics and updates.
8. Last but not least, make it a Mig. As far as I can see from Google (other search engines are available), Mikoyan primarily focused on Fighters both prop and jet but they did make some unmanned aircraft and cruise missiles, so if you can find one, that would be just fine.

Build starts August and runs to the end of October.

Enjoy, comrades!

Plenty of time to find something interesting

And five months later I still haven't bought anything suitable

So many Migs (30 different -21s, and counting...) I have so little time... and no way to upload pictures with my crappy broadband

For inspiration, the new Airfix magazine has a Mig-19 build.

I will be taking part in this GB and will be building an unusual MiG kit, an Avis 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-8 (BX 72013):

Yet another quirky kit to join my other Avis builds. I will set up a build thread nearer the GB start date.

Using their broadband you mean? Neither near no, but thanks for the thought. BTW I use a camera, not a smartphone. In fact, I own no mobile in any way, shape or form

I was thinking laptop actually. That's what I used to do when I was travelling for work. I use a camera too, then copy the photos to my PC. Luckily we have 150GB full fibre here.
