Zero77 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Hi,It is the first model i am posting here. I used to be a 1/48 ww2 builder, but for 3 or 4 years, i became a 1/32 jets freak. Now I cant build anything other than 1/32 modern aircraft (but still like piston engine and propeller, but mostly post-ww2).(i have copy/paste this post from the one i made on ARC, to be honest....)So it is the 1/32 trumpeter Mig-19PM, with a PAVLA resin cockpit, and czech marking from a Mig-21 decals sheet. The number was painted with a custom made stencil as i did not have any decal for it.I have rescribed almost all of the panel lines (as they were not as deep as i wanted), then sanded, puttyed, sanded again, polished, then i applied a coat of ALCLAD grey primer, then polished again (with micromesh), then painted with various shades of alclad.I just think that it is not enough weathered. In addition, my light weathering almost dont show in the pictures (it is a bit better in real). I did not want to build a very dirty, weathered and used aircraft as one can see in the eastern museums or on the road sides, but neither a brand new one straight from the arsenal.Please, let me know what you think ! Thanks ! Link to a very small WIP thread : http://fighters.forumactif.com/t46174-mig-19-tcheque-1-32 Edited December 29, 2015 by Zero77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
