This one seems interesting.

I really like the idea, but can I handle NOT putting Russian stars on my Mig…
Dunno.

Well, come the end of January, and depending on the progress of the GB’s I have on atm, I would love to get my Mig 29 out of the cupboard.

that’s Ok. I’ll
l’ll put you in as a tentative.

woohoo! there’s three of us now!!!

BY the way, would some kind soul like to design a patch? Please? I don’t have the capabilities. [:(]

I’m doing a J-7e, which is a Chinese fighter derived from the Mig-21 for the Demonstration group build. The J7e looks like a longer Mig21 with a cranked delta wing, planning to do PLAAF demo team colors. Does this fit into the rules? Am I cheating? :slight_smile:

I’ll be in, either with a 1/32 MiG-15 or Revell’s new 1/72 MiG-21(whenever I can find it!)…

Well, that’s OK I guess… but it would be bettr if you could do a mig-21 in Chinese colors. but the j7 is fine.(i would prefer an actual mig, but if you’ve nothing else, the j7 will be perfectly fine) yay. 5 of us now.

This is going to Rock!!! Im really looking forward to working on this!!!

I got a Tamiya 1/72 Mig-29 that I can put in Indian Air Force markings. [:)] Plus this will give me practice for putting one in Peruvian Air Force Colors! [8D] I’ll have a couple of kits done by then - WOW, more than 4 kits done this year! I haven’t built this many in a year since before high school![:0]

Hey, thanks for letting me slide a bit on the rules… Does anyoe like this for a Badge?

Polish Mig21

that patch is looking pretty good. lodni_k what kit are you doing? and in what airforce scheme? i couldn’t quite make out from your post. (i thought i would be the only IAF mig-29. guess not.[:D]) also waikong, thanks a lot for the patch. could you put some pictures of othermigs in other airforces to? please? really please? like different model mig w/ other AF’s. so this way the GB could have more than one badge…

oh and waikong, could you post the url for the badge? (thanks for designing it by the way)

For the badge, you can just right click on the picture and then save it to your own server. This way you can resize it to be smaller or bigger if you wish. If you just want to use it as it and reference my original, you can use this URL…

http://waihobbies.wkhc.net/forumpics/gbfmig1.jpg

for a smaller version use

http://waihobbies.wkhc.net/forumpics/gbfmig1small.jpg

ugh. what free hosting severs do you guys use?1 I can’t find one anywhjere!

One of the forum members have a free picture gallery where you can post pictures. see this thread…

[url]http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?page=5&TOPIC_ID=10017[\url]

I’ve uploaded the 2 badges into the temporary hodling pen, when its moved to its final destination, I’ll post again to give everyone the URL.

but i dont think images can be posted directly onto here with the img trags, can they?

Should be okay, here’s a test link to the upload section where the picture is now…

the link is …
http://rongeorge.com/albums/upload/gbfmigs1.sized.jpg

Just make sure you right click on the image and then click property to get real file name, as the upload process resizes and renames the file. I’ll provide the updated link once its moved to its final place

come now folks, we can’t top out with just 7 members! anyway, i forgot to mention, please post any AM or PE you will be using.

Well, I had no idea it was so hard to find info on 29’s used by different countries![:O]

It’s no problem finding WHO used em, but pics of this lovely bird (which I think the F18 was partially modelled on!) in foreign livery aren’t exactly falling from the sky…

More research I think.
