Waco Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well, I was trying, but I don't think I'm going to make it with these guys. Too much garbage at work this week. At least they'll be near completion when I get back, making for a rather productive modeling month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Good lord Waco.. 4 MiG-21's? Whatever display it would have been..it would have been kick butt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waco Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 But seriously folks... So what's the tale behind the four MiGs? I'm going to paint them up as Blue Angels. I figure I can annoy both the ARC Russophiles and the USN fan clubs that way. Based on the delay, I'm considering painting them as Jolly Rogers Fishbeds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Why not just finish up one for NATs? Then finish the other ones when you get home? _Awan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waco Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Why not just finish up one for NATs? Then finish the other ones when you get home? Actually, that's what I'm trying to do right now. I just posted the pic of all 4 of them together in the pre-painting stage for fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jeff briner Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 WACO... Go for it dude. Even one built in either scheme would be a hoot. I always felt that we needed levity at these conventions. That's why when we met in LA I bought a Mickey Mouse hat with my name on it. Or the convention (Atlanta, I think) where they referred to the banquet cornish game hens as "72nd Scale Turkeys". So I say burn the midnight oil and get at least one finished in the scheme of your choice. And be sure to post pictures when you get back. Good luck, and above all else, HAVE FUN!!!

GreyGhost Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Aggressor MiGs ? Why not go with a Blue Angel, Thunderbird, Snowbird and Red Arrow ? I know ... Targets ! Gregg Edited August 2, 2008 by GreyGhost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Looking good, I like the variety of paint schemes! BTW, I met Rase and the rest of your bros at the club Friday night, it was good hanging out with them. I asked Rase if you'd made the trip with them, and told him we frequent the same forum, so he might mention that I asked. Have fun at the Nats, I was planning on going until other events interceded, as always. Maybe next year. Jonah Edited August 3, 2008 by Gator52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
