_H_ Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Brilliant group build, thanks ever so much for running things Phil. Cheers to Tom for his information and banter! Regards Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I would also like to add my thanks to Phil and all involved for getting this going. This was my first Mig-21 build and whilst they are not the best models I have produced, I thoroughly enjoyed making them and would like to make another in a larger scale.

Tom Cooper Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It was big fun watching all the various works coming into being, and nearly everything I've seen so far came out really great. I'm only so sad I've lacked the time to offer more and better advice - i.e. the lack of time sometimes caused some confusion on my part. My apologies for this, and hearthy congrats to everybody involved. (Ah, and to make sure everything remains fair: I'll abstain from voting. Not only that I'm certainly biased regarding specific topics, but I greatly appreciate the enthusiasm and investment of everybody involved and wouldn't have the heart to vote any of modell for 'better' than any other.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks guys, it was such a great GB, and the finished models were all great, so glad to have been a part of it. I fell in love with the Splinter MiG as soon as I saw it, to those who saw the real thing I hope I did it justice. Will so be looking forward to the next MiG-21 STGB, need to build another to keep this one company! Big thanks to Phil for all the effort in running a fantastic an enjoyable GB, and for Tom being the information master, we so do need people like that around.

Tom Cooper Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 My apology for having left you all wait for your prices: was busy helping get all of this (and much more) ready for publishing.

trickyrich Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 WOW...the Iranian Tigers sounds really interesting...... Has there been an F-5 Tiger STGB???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cooper Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Not that I would know. The F-5 is an even more 'obsucre' topic than MiG-21, at least here in the 'West'. Which is pity, theoretically, there is so much to do. Just imagine building an F-5A that first served with the IIAF, then with VNAF (South Vietnam Air Force), then went either back to the IIAF, or was re-routed for South Korea, Philippines etc. - and might have got some spare parts from another example, due to combat damage... Other 'exotic' F-5s that come to my mind would include Ethiopian As adapted to carry Soviet-made UB-16-57 rocket pods, or an Ethiopian E with 5 kill markings; Iranian E that shot down an Iraqi MiG-25 (with 20mm cannons), or some trully spectacular Phiilippino AF examples, with unit insignia, personal names etc....

Jim Barr Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Glad to see the "Iranian Tigers at War" coming on the market; we exchanged some e-mails back in '03 and '04 about the Iran F-5s and you mentioned you were going to bring out a book on the subject, will look forward to picking that one up.
