madmike Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 OEZ Su-7 for me (at this stage) :D MikeJ Link to post Share on other sites
C5sparkcatcher Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Probably gonna start with a Tu-4, or maybe a Su-7, Then again there is a Tu-16 that is screaming for me to start. and before this build is over I am gonna attempt my AN-22. So may choices, so little time. ray Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov-47 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Mad Mike, that Su-7 is one of my favorite 1/48 scale kits of Russian aircraft. Although I'm not an active 1/48 scale modeller, I have several of these kits in my stash. I also have the KAZAN Su-11 conversion if I ever want to be adventurous with the orginal kit. I will follow any Su-7 build with great interest! BTW, is there any aftermarket available for the Su-7? Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, is there any aftermarket available for the Su-7? yes, several sets, neomega makes a cockpit, eduard make some nice photo etch. I think there is another company but can't remember right now.

Berkut Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I think i will join with Zvezda MiG-21bis or MiG-29 1/48 from academy. But i am not sure. Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Trumpeter Tu-16K-26 with certain modifications. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ok, so I'll start with something "easy". A Zvezda Mi-8 in Aeroflot colors (blue and orange) with Heliborne resin cockpit. I do not plan to detail the cabin instead: too much work for now, I want to do something relatively quickly Then think I'll work on an ICM MiG-29 Fulcrum C (of course with a new cockpit and other bits). If time allows, I'll try to finish one of the big bombers I have: Esci Tu-22m2 and AModel Tu-160 (but won't count as GB entries as they are already started, unless I take instead Trumpeter Tu-95 and 160 that are still in their boxes) Link to post Share on other sites

Yuri Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yuri, do you mean this? Yes. I found on Airliners.net also a couple of Hips painted white and blue instead of orange and blue, but this seems the more used scheme. Still have to decide which specific Hip to depict (some had no radar altimeter box on the tail boom). Link to post Share on other sites
Mist Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'll be doing a Zvezda 1/72 SU-24MR. THen i might do a foxhound if i have time Link to post Share on other sites
svaz Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yes, that's me & my entry, but 1/72 scale; the entry, not me ... Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 My An-12 build so far. Not much. I glued and puttied the fuselage parts, but I still have a bit more to putty and sand, judging by the photos... Oh, I also glued the wings together. Ricardo Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up 5 of them for AU$2 last year. Bargain! This will be the first 1:48 scale kit for a couple of years for me. I really want to build it, once I get over the horrible aircraft orientated block I have at the moment. My cure is 1:72 braille scale armour. MikeJ Link to post Share on other sites
Swedish Mick Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) I'm in with my Tupolev Tu-16K10 Badger C, Trumpeter 1613, in 1/72. I got it from Breadboard in the Great 2006 Holiday Kit Give Away, so this will be a great opportunity to give it a go. Thanks Hal! :o Edited August 22, 2007 by Swedish Mick Link to post Share on other sites
Mist Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 This is the one i'll be doing. Took me awhile to commit with all the different soviet birds that are in my stash Link to post Share on other sites
BjornB17 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) 1/48 Academy MiG-21MF, not sure yet what scheme! Edited August 22, 2007 by BjornB17 Link to post Share on other sites
eurovw Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i wanna do something too, but mig-29k doesn't qualify, and can't spend a lot on something else. anyy suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
ac4313 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Hello, a MiG-15 qualifies doesn't it? If so, I'm in with a Tamiya 1/48 MiG-15bis plus whatever extras I can find for starters. I'm really excited for this GB, really looking forward to seeing everyone's work! Edited August 23, 2007 by ac4313 Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i wanna do something too, but mig-29k doesn't qualify, and can't spend a lot on something else. anyy suggestions? In which scale? Or does it matter? Link to post Share on other sites
svaz Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) i wanna do something too, but mig-29k doesn't qualify, and can't spend a lot on something else. anyy suggestions? Try the Academy MiG-21MF on for size. It's inexpensive (~$20), it's big (1/48) but small (it is a Fishbed), the schemes are nearly unlimited, and it's hard NOT to find references on the web.

madcow Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you're into 1/72, try the Revell MiG-21F-13. It's a very nice model out of the box. Ricardo Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddler Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I was thinking of building this: together with this: But not sure since I have several russians in my stash like the Tu-95MS and Tu-16K-26 from trumpeter, Roden's An-12, Amodel's Il-76, Su-11, Su-15, Italeri's Su-17, Revell's Su-27 and MiG-21F-13, KP's Su-7... presume that's nearly everything. So I propose a second edition for next year? :D Let's try and finish these 2 first, don't think that'll be easy actually :D Greetings Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Storm Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have a AN-124 I could throw together for this build. Would that be ok? Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I guess so, Midnight Storm... It first flew in '82 and was put into service in '86... I have mailed my LHS to know if they can get me this model: Ricardo Link to post Share on other sites
