Martinnfb Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) nice inner detail w/o the engine unit Edited March 6, 2015 by Martinnfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 A question, does anybody know the purpose of this cut out located on the inner fence. I presume it has something to do with the gear indicator and if so , why is it not located on the right wing as well? Take it as a riddle competition, the winner will get bragging rights and my eternal admiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 in the squadron walkaround the cutout is explained. but i´m at the office and cant take a look. as far as i remember its because of the MLG indicator for the pilot to be able to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) nice inner detail w/o the engine unit Martin, You're sure this is from a MiG-15 ? The center of the splitter fairing looks very "sharp" to my MiG-ignorant eye. I thought it was rounded (as per your previous pics posted above). But then I don't know anything about the subtleties of the 15's variants. Hubert. PS: now I understand better: it was just the cutting line in the middle of two pics ! Thanks for reinstating the "carriage return", Martin ! Edited March 7, 2015 by MostlyRacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reinstating the "carriage return", Martin ! Yeah it's funny how angled picture can create distortion and play games with our imagination. Also I use to be under impression that I know technical details of Mig-15 as a child I saw them on every second playground, I was wrong. The picture shows Mig-15 UTI . Thanks for stopping by Hubert. Looking great so far Martin! Should be a fun kit. Keep up the great work Paul Thank you Paul, as I said before I was not planning to build it, being stuck under impression that this kit is way too precious, well not anymore, with the arrival of HpH kit,,,,but it is going to be nice learning experience. Since I was kicked out from school I do have some free time on my hands :)for now. She looks great so far Martin! The nice thing about these resin kits is how fast they take shape! Keep up the great work! Paul Thank You for the support Paul , you are right superglue it's fast for sure. Last night after I managed to glue together my index finger with the fuselage and after I somehow ribbed it off It got stuck with my underwear . Of course I didn't try to wipe it off ! :)There are still huge gaps in the inlet and around connecting point of the vertical stabilizer.so by now it's more than obvious that there is going to be a scribing session coming up very soon. Maertin Awesome work on the front offcie and seat. Looking mighty good. Keep 'em coming Peter Thank You Peter, the office was still wet and grungy and that was the way how I set it inside of the fuselage. Take it like a coat of primer the detail work will happened thru the top of it where all the detail is actually visible. Looks great Martin! I like the scheme you're pondering Kai Thank You Kai, I was contemplating red nose in overall natural metal finish, but considering that amount of polishing and re-scribing and polishing, I may chicken out of it. Camo will be just fine, also for the NMF surface the national insignia should be just plane star with halos without the white background, and kid decal sheet does not provide them. Next time when Tamiya finally releases they Faggot, we will go to the town with rivets and post shaded aluminum panels Thank You guys for stopping by, today I am home alone , so back to the bench!

Martinnfb Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The pleasure is mine Harvey, Thank You. I sanded the excess glue at the seams and coated everything silver so we can clearly see the carnage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
