nickdanger Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) The obligatory starter post: It's a little rough around the edges - bit of flash - needs some sanding. But the resin parts look nice and should be a fast build barring major fit issues. Couldn't resist it though - Squadron had it on sale for $6 (!!!!)

thom Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Obsessed though Julien might be with the colour red (ask to see some of his many red MiGs...), he is right - this would look fantastic if you did it in red. Not that you should be influenced by the fact that both the mods think that, of course... <_< Edited June 5, 2009 by thom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickdanger Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Have no fear: The red livery is the only one that fits in the GB rules anyway. The others are regular airforce, not demo team. But there was really no doubt that I would go red with the build C'mon! That's the coolest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickdanger Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Made a little progress: Some tricky fittings yet to be done before I can close up the fuselage....the air intake and exhaust are gonna require some serious test fitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Looking good. Go red Yak! Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickdanger Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 I've gotten the fuselage together: One more wing then it's time for the red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Looking good. I would put a coat of silver down before the red, as this is waht happended on most soviet aerobatic airframes, it gives the red a certain "look" Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickdanger Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would put a coat of silver down before the red, as this is waht happended on most soviet aerobatic airframes, it gives the red a certain "look" I was planning on using a Tamiya rattle can - do you think that a silver undercoat would even show through all that laquery goodness?

nickdanger Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Decals are on. I didn't use the kit ones - they were too pink. Had some spares from a 1/72 MiG kit that (I think) are acceptable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sukhoidave Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I know this thread is very old. I'd like to see how you worked out the retracted landing gear. I like your stand. I'm planning to do the same with mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
