dutik Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Added the stabilizers. Had to add some strip styrene at the junctions between parts to level out some different thickness. It is easier to sand and rescribe compared to putty because - it is styrene too.

LSP_Kevin Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Nice progress, dutik. I'm really looking forward to seeing some paint on this one! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Very nice work, dutik! The MiG-19 has always been one of my favourite aircraft. I sold my 1/32nd scale Shenyang F-6 years ago when I was getting rid of all my large kits - I now wish I hadn't. Regards, Jason dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Does anyone think, like me, that the leading edges of the wings on this kit are just too "blunt" and rounded (the same with the 1/48 version)? Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Another area that needs some care and love are the wheel wells. The front bay is ok with the most stuff inside, but the main wheel bays are just empty large holes. At least there is a nice ribbing at the bottom. Eduard PE adds some paneels around, a cross bar and some small parts. I started making the plumbing and added the gear lock (the part with the brass spring) and its push sensor at the crossbar. Still lacking the 3 lines running running along the right side from the fuselage to the base of the landing gear leg: There are some more lines, but these are connected with the landing gear and the bay covers mechanisms, so they will be added when the landing gear is in place.

dutik Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Added the last lines: One ready, one more to go... Forgot to show the progress on the fuselage. Added the fin, closed gaps and steps with strip styrene and putty and sanded all flush. General fit is good, alignment of parts is straight, but you face gaps along every seam. Easy to fill and smooth out, but it takes some time: The white "rubble" in front are more T-connections and drilled out hexnuts to build up the hydraulic lines inside the wheel well.

dutik Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 While working around the fuselage restoring paneel lines and bolt heads from putty and sanding a mishap occured: one of the inserted paneels snapped off and fell into the wing. Was able to recover it. Fiddled some strip styrene into the opening to reglie the part. Well, that is the result of the one-kit-fits all approach by Trumpeter: you have the whole thing broken into a lot of small subassemblies and a myriad of interchangeable parts to be fitted one by one...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This is coming together quite nicely, dutik, despite the challenges it's giving you. Model on! Kev Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Recieved some jars of paint (Greys and the Orange for the ID paneels), lead wire (the UC bays take a lot of this) and Eduards new Brassin Bravo Sindewinders to arm the outer pylons: Sidewinders look very nice in the box. Cast straight with tail fins on, somne sets of front fins and the choice of clear seekerheads or protective covers. Decals are there too. Good job, Eduard! The CMK Quick&Easy bang seats are Martin Baker Mk.10. If you want to build a Pakistan or Bangladesh F-6 grab a set. Showing them just for your information. I've bought them to build a F-7NG (Trumpeters F-7MG kit) of Nigerian Ari Force. ... Still adding air scoops and filling seams all around. Not a lot to show there.

Guest Peterpools Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 dutik Nice to see the Mig back under way .. Looking mighty good Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Trumpeter provides a set of outer wing pylons too. They call this add-on set: "Mig-21MF". You get a nice collection of Atoll missles, bombs and UB rocket pods, drop tanks and a lot of pylons and launch rails. There is also a bonus in the box: a whole Mig-21 kit... Well, used two surplus wing pylons from the Mig-21 kit to add them to the F-6 wings. Much better than making my own one and with surface details right out of the box. I cut off a bit of the pylons outer face to have the missle rails horizontal aligned to the fuselage: Still wiring the second UC bay.

Guest Peterpools Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 dutik Nice work on the pylons .. wouldn't it be grand if everything came in the box. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
