Indeed!  At 1/18th, foil would look great on it. I know that's the way I'd go personally.

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....

after many years of waiting I got my fingers again on this project and I'm alsmost finish it now... I had to do a lot of work in the cockpit making this from scratch and rebuilding the seat almost from "zero". I used A LOT of bare metal foil for the fuselage and Kitchen aluminium foil for the wings (first is simply too expensive, the later needs experience...). I will write an article when I will finish it...

 

here's the original cockpit of the "toy"...not bad at all, but far away to be the way it was in reality...

The seat is also a 2 piece afair, and I had to make almost everything from scratch

many details in the side walls of the cockpit were made from scratch

The instrument panel received "its own" instrument (printed on decal )
