LanceR21 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone! I will join this great GB with Russian MiG-25PD version. it may be Russian or Ukrainian... i have not decided yet. Model is quite large even though it's in 1/72 scale... Details are very poor, which is typical for the Condor. The panels are terrible, they are wide and very shallow, so it is necessary to re-carving again. Model fits very badly, I think it will take a lot of glue and putty... Flaps will look much better when they are lowered, so i cut them... Cheers, Nenad Edited October 1, 2010 by LanceR21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Nenad, this is the Warsaw Pact group build, so no Ukrainian markings are allowed. Good progress by the way, nice to have the infamous rabbit-killer on board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck man ;) Haha, get the ICM kit, it's 1000 times better than the Condor! Well, i can say that this kit is like horror movie! ;) At first I did not want to engrave panels on the trunk, but I've had for sanding joints, so that the panels would be unequal to the model... For engraving i used hobby knife and a needle. A few days ago i by a Trumpeter rivet maker so I decided to try it on this model. Cheers, Nenad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a lot work to do, especially on the details and nozzles that do not fit well... I have to add the panels in the cockpit Other pictures...
