Got you all on the list and we're now over the half-way point for qualification in the end-of-year voting On 2/22/2021 at 4:01 PM, Beazer said: Would you consider opening it up a bit more to Mig-19's? I did at first give that some consideration having read that the -19 started life as a twin-engined -17 project but feel it is taking my already stretched definition of an STGB way too far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just keeping to the earlier types would be more in the spirit of the original idea. That said, the Mig-19 is just the big brother (on steroids ) and has a clear development lineage from the earlier/simpler types. If we can get more modellers onboard for the GB then I guess so?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) The MiG-19 would open up the Chinese J-6/F-6 which were used very extensively and into the 21st Century too. I'm building a trio of 1980s Pakistani examples myself at the moment. Might need to be a regular GB rather than STGB though? Call it "MiG: the awkward teenage years" Edited March 2, 2021 by Tim R-T-C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it "MiG: the awkward teenage years" I was thinking something along the same lines, I'd welcome the chance to make a Shenyang F-6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps, I would be up for a separate Mig-19 STGB. Has there ever been a 'Mikoyan and Gurevich' Group Build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a 'Mikoyan and Gurevich' Group Build? Going back to 2014 I couldn't find an everything MiG group build. Im sure you could attract enough interested parties. Though with a 15/17 and a 21 competing for a 2022 slot already, maybe wait and propose it for 2023 ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a subject I know too much about Airfix is the best, shape/size is better than AZ & Bilek/Dragon/Zvezda. Also it's nicer to build. It really is a very good kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
