dora9 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I'm interested too! Love the look of the Mig. And with that tail pipe, it's a winner! Edited October 18, 2014 by dora9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girlscanplay2 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Terrific Job Bruce! Like what you did with the tail and the tail pipe!! Teresa Edited October 19, 2014 by Girlscanplay2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) in case anyone is wondering how I got the raised detail on the engine part, I took a caliper and clamped a piece of pencil lead to the end then drew a line around the tube, moved the setting and did it again and again until I got the number I wanted I then took some fine wire and made a loop and then twisted the ends until the loop tightened around the tube where I wanted it. I then super glued the wire to the tube and cut off the excess. Simple, huh! I'm sure there are other ways it could be done but this worked.

Bruce Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I finally got over a hump and have done some work on the cockpit. I extended the back wall, added some wiring, piping, and Eduard photo etch and extended the intake tunnels. I hope to get it done by the deadline.

Guest Clunkmeister Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This is awesome. I love the work you guys do to turn a sow's ear into a work of art! And I thought the Trump kits had 'issues'. They are positively Tamiya-like compared to this one. Beautiful job, Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
