discussion Migs Group Build

[Neil]

Hello,

I propose a MIG group build.

Any Mig, any era, any scale, any colour scheme so long as it is a Mig.

There are many variants and schemes. Single subject (not a diorama build).

No good reason except I know Santa has a Mig-21 for me - what can I say I ‘forgot’ to remove it from my basket

Early year build, I know we’ll be away end of Feb/ beginning of March so maybe February - April?

Id best go shopping

It’s tough job, but I'm sure you’ll be up to it. Good luck and watch out for the cling-on kits - those that cling to the one you want to buy and end up being bought as well. Like anyone ever buys just one kit!

 

[PaulTRose]

Lol.... That happened in the week

 

[Nicko]

I'll be up for this one so long as it doesn't clash with other GBs.....

A question....... Is it just russian built migs or does it include licensed built ones? ....... Im thinking poland or china specifically but i know chechslovakia and india built them too

Fair enough. Not sure how flexible we can be on when these start etc. I want to do the US one as well so happy to flex as needed.

Any Mig, Russian built or licensed is fine. Hell, if they make tractors that works too so long as it is, yep, a Mig,

OK, so if this takes off, this will be my entry:

I've committed to the Logistics and US GBs, so if this wouldn't clash with those GB dates then I have a MiG-17,-19 or -29 to choose from to make up the numbers.

 

[Neil]

Logistics is Jan - end of March
US Icons (I’m in for that too) is set to straddle July 4th, or end then? (April - July 4th?)

So Aug-October?

Sounds like a plan Neil

[flyjoe180]

That sounds ideal Neil

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Count me in for this one.

 

[Tim Marlow]

If it’s August to October I should be recovering from a hip replacement operation, so should have time for this, and will hopefully have some mojo. I’ve got an Eduard Mig 21 in the stash, so count me in then

Excellent - of course, you could make a GB on just Mig-21’s and still have 20 different variants and colour schemes!

I think that is 8 people?

 

[Ernie]

I will join in, not sure with what yet, but have several options to choose from.

 

[Andy T]

I'm pretty sure I've never built a mig so this seems like as good an excuse as any.

Count me in please and I'll see what I can find.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

I have just picked this up cheap on a certain auction site so this will be my entry

 

[PaulTRose]

Later in the year sounds like a plan....... Time to find something interesting

 

[Neil]

So a quick headcount:
