Ray_W Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The kit arrived today. My finger is now on the trigger. Hopefully the box decals are reasonably accurate for a Vietnam subject. I feel a little research is coming up. Ray 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray The Opsprey Aircraft of the Aces series number 135 on MiG-21 Aces of the Vietnam War has a colour profile showing the same scheme as the box art. There is also a photo showing the starboard side with the kill markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's two of the nine pilots mentioned by Wikipedia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Could you count me in on your list please?! 😊 I have the Kovozovody 1/72 UM kit with some very interesting Kopro decals of the Czech "Stress Team". I can't recall ever seeing this comical scheme being done before. I was planning on doing this in 2022 anyway but since I was just browsing through the lists of planned group builds, I might as well join in. Will upload some pics at a more favourable time. Thanks!

Undercarriage made of bricks & wings of wood apparently! 😆 This will be my main focus for your group build. If I'm feeling ambitious I might even add a 1/72 Romanian, one of their current airframes. I've got the Fujimi kit in the Romanian markings. I've also got the Eduard 1/72 Czech Tiger but that might be stretching it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundels Everywhere Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I'm interested in joining this build, I've got Eduard's 1:48 mig-21mf due to arrive today, it's coming in the "Bunny Fighter Club" livery so I may look out some alternative (Indian?) aftermarket decals. Could you add me, please? Rob Edited January 11, 2022 by Roundels Everywhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Indian aircraft will be great as they wore some very colourful schemes over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Indian aircraft will be great as they wore some very colourful schemes over the years. I think you’re right there Craig. I have a Bis ‘Around the World’ and an MF Profi Pack to choose from both in 1/48. So far I’m struggling to make a decision on one of them. I also have a HAD models decal sheet with a great Indian option although the paint job is a bit daunting. Lots of mottling with a black tail and yellow lightning bolts that the decal sheet doesn’t provide for. We’ll see. As Ray says above the finger is on the trigger! Have you you made a choice yet?

The problem is having too many kits and decal sheets to choose from James, what a terrible problem to have! Though to counter all the Eduard kits I might build one of the Trumpeter ones I have in the stash, possibly either the UM or the F-13, just to be a bit different.😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes them quite a standout in any display. 5 hours ago, modelling minion said: I have a feeling that Eduard kits (1/72 and 1/48) are going to be the most popular ones in our GB, and with good reason.

Revell and others taking the rest of course. Especially if you want an F-13, then it hast to be the Revell kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 @Corsairfoxfouruncle Hi Dennis Just rounding up my build options now. If we want to build two subjects do they need their own separate build threads or can go in the same one? Cheers James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided there are clear posts showing and defining both builds. In better words I wouldn't want to see the same photo used twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
