Hi everyone, here my small update. I mostly worked with wheel-bays, made some wires in front and main ones. Also I made a recess for the front wheel in its wheel-bay and brake hoses on the main landing gears.

thanks guys, first layer of primer shows that everything is fine with body, so next step is painting works and I want to ask, does anyone have the North Vietnam insignias decals?

I can't find it and I don't want to make a lot of masks to paint it...

Let's go further,

I painted model black and after couple of days of drying I covered all model medium satin aluminum

and made masks for ailerons, flaps and some hatches, then, to make the panel effect noticeable, I painted them in different shades of steel and aluminum

 

Also using a salt I made scratches on the nose

I've tried the salt method and it works quite well.

 

Looking forward to see the nose chipping.

 

watch'in you  no salt please!

This is looking awesome! I'm no fan of MiGs, but I like how this is looking'

[olgerd83]

Clunkmeister, thanks for your opinion, I'm really appreciated.

And here finally I came to the most difficult part of my  build - North Vietnam national markings.

Unfortunately I did not have decals of it so I had to make masks. I used Tamiya's scotch for my masks and 6 of them. As you can see from the pictures

firstly I painted in yellow, then masked stars and borders and after that painted with red color

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here the result, I suppose my national marks look pretty good.
