The Madhatter Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi all Here's my rather adequate attempt at a nude Mig-3 (I've seen much better). Straight out of the box - only thing not in the box were the German wood grain decals (same ones I used on the Dragonfly). No resin and no modifications (I couldn't be bothered really). No lighting and no detailing. Just a nice shake and bake kit build - something I haven't done in years. And I liked it! Well, that's all I have. I'm happy enough with how it came out. The decals were a PITA to work with though - not very strong and tear very easily. As always - thanks for stopping in and having a look Si Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought the HO-223 set which gives you 6 sheets and out of those 6 I have decalled this and a Dragonfly and I still have 3.5 untouched sheets which I will find a use for another time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Just a fantastic build and finish replicating A Mig 3 before the wood sections were painted. Now that's a finish one rarely sees. I've only seen one other aircraft that had a decaled wood finish, a 1/32 Tamiya Mossie. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
