With the development of ever more impressive and advanced fighting aircraft to push back the enemies of the Motherland, Comrades Gurevich and Mikoyan saw the need for a new and better training jet. So, armed with patriotic intent and righteous talent, they began work on a twin-engined, swept-winged trainer with the ability to be used against the Motherland's enemies when the need arose...

Спасибо, товарищ!!
I overindulged on Oleg's Own Backyard Vodka while typing the title - please note the correct NATO name the Imperialists hung on MiG's amazing little machine has now been inserted.

COMRADES!
It is disheartening to see how little comment the construction of the glorious trainer Mothball has inspired. However our comrades in the Anadyr Trainer Jet Aircraft and Vodka Bottle Cap Construction Factory No.38 have been politely advised by Comrade Commissar Felix that progress photographs will be expected tomorrow.
-
Do not succumb to despair, Comrade Antipodean Zac! Disheartened proletarian designer/constructors are exactly what the capitalist agents provocateurs are hoping for :o
In any case, complete glorious success is already assured for the MiG-24 Альфа Джет trainer. Still, we thrill in our anticipation of forthcoming images of socialist workers at ... well, work. :)

In any case, complete glorious success is already assured for the MiG-24 Альфа Джет trainer.
COMRADE! I am troubled by your use of this name for glorious trainer Mothball - it appears to be nothing less than a piece of artificial journalism! There is no proof to what you allege! Such obvious mistruths cannot be tolerated! You will apologise for this blatantly fraudulent appellation for the glorious trainer Mothball and the hard work of the men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis*!
*The men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38 have been relieved of working on glorious trainer Mothball on suspicion of using foreign aircraft blueprints for the fuselage design of glorious trainer Mothball and all duties of construction on glorious trainer Mothball have been assigned to the men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis accordingly.
-
COMRADE! I used the term Альфа Джет only in the sense that the glorious MiG-24 was the 'first jet' trainer construct by the workers of ATJAaVBCF No.38 (as was). Will you will agree, KiwiZacovitch, that this is a perfectly correct application of 'alternative facts'? "All power to the Soviets!"
-
COMRADES! Comrade apophenia is quite correct - Comrade Commissar Felix has clarified this point with me and there will be no more speaking of the previous speakings.
Behold the latest imagerygraphics from ATJAaVBCF No.38bis of work on glorious trainer Mothball!

Take note of the finest ejector seats for comfort of pilots, and shock cones of intakes!

See the wonderful vertical tail of glorious trainer Mothball and the lines of the all-new, influenced by nothing, wholly original fuselage!

Witness the amazing swept wings of glorious trainer Mothball, optimised for the highest speeds of any trainer!

Comrades, We, the members of the 'Totally free thinking commissariat for the profitable production of porcine produce & perfectly legal aviation observation in foreign nations', welcome the Mothball and its creators efforts in building an all Russian original design aircraft for the continued prominence of our glorious Motherland and her peoples.
(or, nice one Zac, looks alpha jetish to me mate! ;) )

COMRADES!
The men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis wish to assure their comrades of the 'Totally free thinking commissariat for the profitable production of porcine produce & perfectly legal aviation observation in foreign nations' of the complete originality and total Russianness of glorious trainer Mothball.

Comrade KiwiZacovitch - As a worker in the Greater Soviet Wing Fence Collective and Pencil Factory #16, I am pleased to see wing fences! You are clearly not a fifth columnist!
-
COMRADE! Mikoyan and Gurevich, and the men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis, are all grateful to hear such positivity from the Collective! The contractor ZTS Plastyk is to be commended for such great work in the field of plastic moulding of wing fences for MiG!
-
I return from the mandated tour of the polystyrene mines and decal printing collectives to find you all have been hard at work, bolstering the defenses of nasha Rodina! (Наша родина)
Sasha, the Third Deputy Assistant Marshall for the Positive Recognition Sub-committee of The Committee of State Sanctioned Modelling, Alternative History and Tractor Carburettor Production, agrees:

Comrade KiwiZacikov! Thank you for the glimpse into the superior work ethic and dedication of the men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis! They are leading the way to the future of World Socialism!
-
looking good

You've certainly captured the character of superior Soviet aviation most vividly, Comrade Zacski!
May the Glorious Order or the Red Banner soon adorn you proudly, Tovarich!

COMRADES!
I have been deputised by the men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis to thank you for your kind words. As Spokesman I can now confirm I can provide further updates tomorrow as I have been given leave to attend glorious aeroshow at Blenheimgrad (http://www.classicfighters.co.nz/) and will spend tomorrow in the factory itself to supervise.
Comrade LemonJello! The spokesman for ATJAaVBCF No.38bis is torn as to whether to ask for more imagegraphics of your fine comrades as he enjoys them so, or to plead for you to stop posting them lest Comrade Mrs Spokesman see his computer screen! :-[

COMRADES!
The men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis are as of now moving glorious trainer Mothball to the shop of paint!

Comrade!
The Committee of State Sanctioned Modelling, Alternative History and Tractor Carburettor Production knows better than to tempt the wrath of the ultimate power, SWMBO! So for the sake of the ATJAaVBCF No.38bis spokesman, we will limit the appearance of some of our dedicated comrades of the female persuasion in this thread*.

COMRADES!
The men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis have been hard at work over the weekend of confectionery rabbit and egg, however the Spokesman is unable to share imagerygraphics of their superlative work of painting for he was at glorious Yealands Classic Fighters Omaka 2017 (http://www.classicfighters.co.nz/) aeroshow checking in on progress of a comrade's syndicated restoration of glorious trainer Yak-9V, based on glorious trainer Yak-11:

Many thanks to Comrade piglflyerov for generous make donation of Starfix Jet of Alpha and glorious ZTS Plastyk MiG-19. The decalorations of glorious PM Model Yak-15 were selected for the markings of Red Star and the paints of Tamiya were used for making into metal.
-
Comrades, we salute such a marvel example of the peoples' ingenuity!
-
One would assume that this has a fairly high landing speed...and thus all cockpits are equipped with a special Vodka dispenser to allow the trainee pilot to have a "stiff one" (and two for the instructor) before commencing landings... ;D

I'd probably need a bit o'courage before getting in the thing in the first place....
Absolutely first rate comrade Zacski! A trans-siberian transport full of Vodka and an order of the Red Banner to you for such amazing demonstration of socialist superiority over running dog west!

.. and nicely done
-
Great idea and implementation Zac. I hope the Mothball has not been mothballed. It's quite the looker.
-
Thanks all! It was a fun build and it went together easier than I anticipated.
It does look rather fast, doesn't it?! :o
-

We are much impressed with the glorious Mothball trainer and are happy to note that all the motherlands aircrew are more than competent to fly and drink without compromise of skill.
