Thanks, but I realy don't know yet which ac it will going to be... But I think one in the bare metal finish (I will use bare metal foil) to be cont.

Menelaos Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) 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....

Menelaos Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) 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 ) Edited February 8, 2022 by Menelaos Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin and patricksparks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menelaos Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 the wings fences are too think in the model, so I made them from plastic sheet... Uncarina and Landrotten Highlander 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
