Heico Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I like your choice of colours! Good luck on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks a bunch guys. I'm very much looking forward to wrapping this one up, but airframe needs to be touched up, and in some areas repainted altogether, as I'm still not real happy with it.

kaiyudsai Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Im starting this build right now...... Your build has really given me some inspiration..... I have the same decal set except I will be building a Slovakian bird..... the Black and white Moo Cow livery to be exact... I just started working on the Black box tub... i was horrified to see how the ejection seat is too big.. what did you do to correct this... WHy would they sell a cockpit with a seat that doesnt fit?? The aires seat doesnt fit either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 A little grinding (I've had to do this to other AM seats as well), and it should drop right in. Not the best approach perhaps, but it'll work anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well, after a disaster with the other aircraft I'd been working on for my upcoming deadline (1:48 Fokker D.VII), I'll be swinging full force into finishing this project by the 8th, (I hope). I suspect I'll be doing regular updates as the week progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi Kev Just finished re-reading all 20 pages of the Mig build to catch up and enjoy. Nothing like an well oiled machine rolling along! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks Peter. OK, so rocket pods are almost 100% now. Far from perfect, but certainly an improvement over what OOB looked like I think. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Wow, they look great. And fiddly! Â Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks K1, and yes, they are "fiddly", but worth it I think. OK, back to the dungeon for me. Â K2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That looks awesome! After building the Eduard Mig-21, I can see all of the little details that you added to make it look more accurate. Can't wait to see it painted up kevin. I'm glad you're still plugging away at this build. Â Â Â Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yep, me too. It's been quite a while since I was able to add anything to the RFI area, maybe this is the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 OK, more detailing (the beginnings anyway), done to canopy. I didn't want to wait until the last minute to do this, as it'll be very visible, so it needs to look good, or at least as good as I can make it.

kaiyudsai Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I used your trick for the tank with the sprue... and added the weld.... It really made all the difference..... Rocket pods look great..... I will be adding rocket pods, and R-60's to mine with a centerline drop tank... I was going to use the Alkalis or atoll.... but the styrene missles were horrible. I dont think they could be spruced up much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi Kev! Just looked through the whole build and must say that it is fantastic The pit looks outstending. Your atention to detales is so great too. Thank you for showing it to us. Soon it wil be ready and it will be an outstending model of Mig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
