andromeda673 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 well I was finally able to get down to my bench and get some work done, got the rest of the engine assembled and painted, as well as finished off the piping and detal work on engine. I also got the landing gear installed. Whitey 1
DrDave Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 We are due a good re invention of the mig15. Quite the worst kit I ever tried. The rear and front fuselages are different diameter. Good Luck, and well done so far! andromeda673 1
andromeda673 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 thank you for the heads up on that, after doing alot of research on this kit, and hear all the battles about the two halves not lining up, and or being totally different in diameter, I determined that I would just display this bad boy with the tail off and engine exposed, ladder on, flaps down, etc. Here are some more progress pictures.
andromeda673 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 made some more progress tonight, I just need to get the squiggle camo lines on, then I'll be ready for wet sanding, and decals! thanks for looking!
andromeda673 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 made some more progress tonight, I picked up a new Passche air compressor after work, and put it right to use! the new compressor is so nice and quiet, and having the adjustable regulator really makes life easier.Tomorrow all I have to do is spray the flat coat and install the canopy, then this one will be done.
andromeda673 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 well got the final coats of clear on tonight, and pulled the tape from the canopy. This one is done! Harold, Girlscanplay2 and Whitey 3

dmthamade Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 The squiggly line camo looks great!! what airbrush/paint did you use for the lines? Don andromeda673 1
andromeda673 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 The squiggly line camo looks great!! what airbrush/paint did you use for the lines? Don Thanks Don, the airbrush I use is the Iawata Neo with a .35 needle, the paint I used is just Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green thinned with 70% rubbing alcohol mixed 50/50. I did the camo free hand. I think what helped is the new Paasche compressor I bought, I set the PSI to 20.
marauderdriver Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Nice Job, Dude! Can't wait to see your third adventure John B's got some competition HEH! jack andromeda673 1
andromeda673 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Nice Job, Dude! Can't wait to see your third adventure John B's got some competition HEH! jack Thanks Jack, I really appreciate it! Large Scale is pretty fun to build, I used to be intimidated by it, and or just not that interested, I think mainly due to the price of some of the kits out there, but finding some of the less expensive 1/32nd kits, made me jump into the large scale. , LSP_Paul 1
