Els Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I have been wanting to build that mig for a while. Yours is coming along nicely. How was the Airfix kit? I had it in my hand at the hobby shop today because I saw the tiger flash on the tail but did not buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARguy Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think it must be one of their older kits as a lot of flash on the parts. It goes together not too bad most of major seams are hidden underneath the engines but still required quite a bit of putty. The plastic I found to be pretty soft and sprues where very thick. I am not an expert on Russian aircraft so don't know how accurate shape and dimensions are Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARguy Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Calling this one done. Had to make the white on the top surfaces thinner as I found out the hard way after I applied first decals on the wing. I was able to mask the other side but the side with the decal had to be hand brushed. Not totally perfect but I am happy with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
