ALF18 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I will definitely build a 1/48 Starfighter from Hasegawa, with some parts from the Daco upgrade set. Decals will be from Canuck models (I think; have to check my stash), and it will be in an overall green scheme from about 1973 or so in Baden. 439 Squadron (my father's squadron) of course! Then, I have two big decisions to make. Do I jump in with my 1/32 Italeri kit? Or, do I get an Eduard MiG-21 kit (Profipak)? Or maybe do both? Decisions, decisions... For Neo: the Hasegawa kits are FANTASTIC in 1/48. I have built about 4, and I have 3 others in the stash. I agree that they are the best-engineered Hasegawa kits I have ever built.

Colin K Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Count me in with at least one CF-104 Starfighter. It will either be a bare metal single seater, or a camo two-seater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingoalie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd like to join with a couple 1/144th kits. I'll call it my "Upgraded StarFish" build. -Italian F-104S (1/144th Revell of Germany F-104G kit, decals TBD) -Romanian MiG-21 LANCER C (1/144th Eduard MiG-21MF kit, decals by Balkan Models) Both kits will require a little modification from the base kits. I hope to get started on these this week. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CF104 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Now that I'm in the final finishing steps of my CF-104 I'm going to start my next GB projects. I hope to have them on the work bench next week. 1. 1/48 Hasegawa CF-104D in the Starfighters color scheme. I have the Hasegawa decals as well as the Two Bobs decals and will be using some DACO update items along with aftermarket ejection seats, wheels and afterburner. 2. 1/48 Eduard Mig-21MF Subscribers Limited Edition kit. I'm thinking of doing it in Polish Air Force markings and will be using a lot of Brassin resin aftermarket on this build. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I would like to join in with a 1:48 Hasegawa F-104S "Veltro 1" Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 My 1/48 Hasegawa warm-up build is coming to an end. Next up will be an Italeri 1/32, built OOB. Still undecided on colour scheme or decals. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) i'm about to start as much as 8 Eduard 1/48 MiG-21! 2 bis, 1 SM, 3 SMT (maybe 1 as a MT), 1R and 1 PFM. i'm now in the very early stage of every of them (have done some job on seats, cut some resin blocks, test fitting... have airbrushed some paints for the inner surfaces (pits and wells) ) i'll start some new threads tomorrow evening i guess (but maybe not all 8 threads simultaneously as i didn't wanted to bury the other threads of this GB , that would be annoying!) i might not be able to complete all of them before the deadline... but i'll try to get a couple done in time, at least...

Sebastijan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I have a tight schedule at work at the moment and little time for modelling and just to get a mojo back, I'll build Eduard's 1:144 MiG-21bis. I might build another 1:144 later for the prize eligibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Only 3 months to go, and still so many kits in the stash... My next one will be the Eduard 1/48 MiG 21 PFM ProfiPACK edition. Completely OOB. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just started Revell's 1:144 F-104G to acompany my Finnish MiG-21bis. The fit is great and should be done soon. Hopefully I will be able to finish MiG-21I by the end of the month as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
