LSP_K2 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 OK, folks, time to have some fun with a MiG. With any luck at all, this will be one of my entries in the 2017 convention in Omaha. Standard Trumpeter kit, with added AM ‘pit, weapons, landing gear, wheels (Profimodeller if I can find any), flaps detailed (still thinking on that one), Grey Matter tail, markings of Russian ace Major PV Minervin, 16th IAP (or similar). I'll still be trying to wrap up a Tony I'm working on, but I'll be playing with this too. I've already photographed the daylights out of the kit for the eventual review I'll be doing, but need to finish the Skyraider review first.

Shawn M Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Should we tandem build Kev? I can start mine as well. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 nice Kev, I look forward to this. Hope that extra sheet of PE will be usable for ya. I certainly hope so, Shawn. It certainly can't hurt any. I already see a few parts I can use, and I downl;oaded the instructions today too. Should we tandem build Kev? I can start mine as well. Mine will drag on for some time, as I'll be working on several projects at the same time, but we could certainly start out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Does anyone make a good pilot for this bird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Speaking of the MiG, I've already done some simple stuff today, starting off with assembling the wings. It needs to be done sooner or later anyway, and I really like to have things like this to work on (sanding and polishing) outside during the pleasant weather that's rapidly approaching. 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I would love to join in on this, but having enough trouble getting back to the bench and F4U-2 as it is.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Mirror with white lines Kev?? Glad there is no razor blade showing or it would look just like the movies! mywifehatesmodels, Zero77 and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I ALMOST said something about that..........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Does anyone make a good pilot for this bird? Possibly, but I won't be using one. Mirror with white lines Kev?? Glad there is no razor blade showing or it would look just like the movies! I made sure to get rid of all the powder before I took the photo. I ALMOST said something about that..........Harv For whatever reason, when Ron said that, I immediately thought of Al Pacino in Scarface.

LSP_K2 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Through the good graces of a fellow member, I've snatched a BB 'pit set for this effort. I was eyeballing a set of Profimodeller landing gear doors (the kit ones are peppered with pin marks), but haven't yet decided to commit to those or not. I'll definitely be slapping some G-Factor brass gear on it though. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
