ac4313 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Well, might as well start #2 while I wait for the new canopy for my La-7 build. I haven't posted for a while, lots of work stuff jumping in the way of the modeling. :blink: Anyway, here is the ICM 1/48 MiG-3 kit (I love this kit), along with the extras I have collected: I am still on the fence as to what detail sets to use for the cockpit. On one hand, I am dying to use the Cutting Edge cockpit, but I want to be sure I can get another one first. On the other hand, I really like the way the kit framing gives a great representation of the real thing. The Part and Eduard PE sets would do nicely with the kit parts, but some details like the various bottles would need to be scratchbuilt. Whatever will I do? ;) The markings will be for "Red 02" 12th Guards IAP, Moscow 1942. I really like the way this scheme represents what I imagine to be the nature of the fight at the time, with its winter camouflage, replacement wings, unpainted replacement engine cowls, etc. That all I have for now, thanks for looking.

jrallman Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Nice scheme. I have this one planned with the ICM kit as well (if I have time, kinda got bogged down a bit) FYI, there is good evidence at this time that says that the engine cowl was not bare metal but in fact just an older dirtier off white kind of color.

David Koktavý Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 That scheme is one of my favorite, but I am not decided yet. On the massimo's webpages are a lot of nice schemes. There are little mystery about the wing color (red, green). I believe green is more verisimilar as you have on the picture. I wish you good luck and enjoy that build.

ac4313 Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Due to a sudden and devastating loss in my family, I will not be completing this build. I want to thank everyone again for making my first participation in a GB a very positive experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
