MiG Group Build recap
First, I would like to thank all the participants to this group build, wheter you finished your builds or not. I must admit, I expected slightly larger participation but I am nevertheless proud of the resulting builds and I hope our group build will server as an inspiration for future MiG builds.
In honour of 80th anniversary of establishment of Mikoyan i Gurevich construction bureau, these are the completed builds, listed in order from oldest to the latest MiGs.

All excellent builds, sometimes quantity isn’t equal to quality 😉
Still I’m surprised no MIG-35 was built in this GB, given the fact that lately we’ve seen a few brands release this plane in 1/72 and 1/48.
I totally agree!
You mean MiG-25, right?
Yes, I stand corrected Sebastijan 🙂
Thanks for running the GB, Sebastijan! I like your Mig-29SMT a lot.
Thank you, John! I will post an article, once I finish the base for it. Should be soon.
why didn't you include me?
Hi George.
I am sorry this happened, but there are two reasons. You did not open a new thread in the MiG GB group and I didn't notice your article and second, you missed the (extended) deadline by 2 days, unfortunately. Very nice MiG nevertheless.
Thanks for getting back to me, I did in fact try to post it on 31 Dec but iModeler wasn't playing ball (I noticed a couple of other people had problems, too). Oh, well, never mind, it was a great idea and you got a good number of quality MiGs.
A masterful Mig collection! They all look great. I meant to participate, but I never around to adding a new Mig to my stash.
Well, there's always a chance for standalone MiG article 😉
A very nice line up of MiG's! Great work everyone.
Thanks, Greg!
Nice collection of MiG's, well done all, thanks to Sebastijan for the GB !
Nice to see the GB result! And proud to make part of it. May I ask to correct my id in my mig-29 photos, please? it's @magrus , thanks
Sebastijan, @inflames
Thanks for hosting the MiG group build. I had a wonderful time participating, and learned some new things too. We had a good turn out, and the guys posted up some very nice work.
Take care ! and have a Happy New Year.
