danimalmagic Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Pretty quick build and one for my own collection for a change, just over two weeks work from start to finish, if i ever come get another one i think i might do a NMF version. Overall a nice kit to build, the only thing that lets it down are the deep old panel lines, but having done a few Anigrand kits that is par for the course. The landing gear i thought was going to be an issue but it is quite steady even with all the weight of the resin. After getting the base coat on i just added some random panel variations to break up the surface. The real thing if we can call it that is quite glossy and patchy but its kind of dificult to get to fussy with this sort of thing as its not real so you dont really have a lot to work with, i suppose that is also a good side to sci fi work, no real right or wrong. Last thing to do was decal and assemble, job done, yes the air brakes are up. Thanks for looking.

Out2gtcha Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wow, that looks terrific! Really unique for sure. Im totally surprised that the mains are not duel wheels though. danimalmagic and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimalmagic Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yes, i wou Wow, that looks terrific! Really unique for sure. Im totally surprised that the mains are not duel wheels though. l would agree with that 100% but its a film so i expect they scrounged what they could, i had another post that suspected they had used the gear off of an F-4 Phantom, in reality if we can call it that it would no doubt be the same tandem layout as the real Mig-31, all Russian birds have heavy duty gear for of airstrip landings.
