I found a nice photo of the fishbed and it will be a nice ref for the build. The kit is a profipack MF by Eduard with an addition of Berna decals - African MiGs.

OK, let's kick off, nothing is glued yet just painted and tested for fitting, sry for the photo quality, did 'em with my phone and the lighting is weak...

the cockpit:

I hatched the areas that will be cut out - I intend to scratch-build some avionics

Thanks.

It's painted with a mix of Tamiya desert yellow and dark yellow for the sand color and the green one is tamiya dark green with a mix of field gray -which is actually green. I almost never buy exact colors by guidelines, I prefer mixing the ones I have and use paints by visual references..

Here's the follow up. Decals placed and faded, couple of protective coats applied, weathering done, landing gear assembled, ej. seat is done,...still some detailing and wiring to do. Currently working on UB-16s and S-24s
