Now here's the ready to use front gear leg... pretty close to the real thing....now I'm going back to the cockpit...

TNX guys, there's some work to be done yet, new pics are coming soon...

Now working on the nose landing gear.... it's not bad but actually inaccurate....the wheel is too thin and has to be ... typical MiG...fat!.... Here's the start situation given in the model... Now I replaced the wheel with one of Revells Typhoon in 1:32 scale... it's very closely to the MiG one..!..and some more details through scratch-bulding Some work has also to be done on the rest of the gear leg....

or use that pic for it:

to find accurate drawing is one thing, but which are accurate?? I wont change the kit.... things maybe get worse....

WOW.....

just like the real ac....wow....!!!!!!!!

Thanks, but I realy don't know yet which ac it will going to be... But I think one in the bare metal finish (I will use bare metal foil) to be cont.

Now I got the main gear legs looking closer to the real thing....

it happened yesterday at 08:50 . The mission was to train spin procedures with the T-2E. His chute didn't opened...he tried again and again but no luck.... Both had over 2500 h experience... The T-2 is a great ac but now very old... we had in January one more lost after take-off, but both pilots could eject safely... oh my...

did you also noticed the closed Vulcan opening?

the video ist realy great. You can use it for some detailing on an AUP HAF Phantom.

pilot dead, copilot survived.....Both where instructors.... RIP....

if you want to see how a F-4E starts up...

Thanks Mark, as I wrote...there's much work ahead...now I'm taking the undercarriage legs apart....

HI Captain, yes it's BIG but I think the ideal scale for the small 15... There's a LOT to do yet..... greets M

some dry fit of the flaps... note that they are not hanging at the beginning of their flap bay...

at last.... but looking at the official pics, why are the radar screens covered in the cockpits...?

hi Kev yes please many thanks, M

Some little work...the windshield inner frame

just wanted to tell you some things I found reading many articles about the soviet aces over Korea. Reading the interview of 9 Kill ace Mikhin (see above in the topic) he said he flown only one ac. all the time. His ac was unpaited without any red surfaces only red numbers. Now looking at the many profiles of aces ac Mikhins MiG15 is shown as a camouflaged ac (#1998) . And now tell me what the truth is... I think and I believe more that Mikhin said....

yes the camera must be moved to the right. It's wrong in the kit.

Ivan the HAF also flown some 104s with the 11 engine after they received many ex German birds with their MTU installed and many MTUs extra ....so ex German 104 means not automatically MTU engine on board

yes late, the one with the thicker wheels. The A/B/C/D early wheels were all with holes on the rims The towseater above was a TF-104G
