Hi guy's,

 

time to get this topic back to the living. After some painstaking months of personal life. I lost my job last year due to an accident, and the search for a new job, i lost more or less my intrest into modeling, sadly, yes, it happens from time to time. :(

 

For now, i have three weeks vacation, so i thought it was time to crack my Flogger project open for the next phase.

 

Stay tuned, more will follow.

Time for some progress photo's guy's :whistle:

 

Some work needed to be done regarding painting the cockpit of the MIG 23, so today, i worked myself true the whole process until the cockpit was completely painted.

 

A nice Belgian beer (the best in the world) and some tasty Olives with Goat cheese, and of we go.

Time to post some more progress. This will be the last update before i leave tomorrow for Italia.

 

After the cockpit was painted, and the front wheel bay also, it was time to install the cockpit and wheel bay into the forward fuselage.

Some triming is needed, but everything went very smooth, the gap's between the cockpit and fuselage where taking care if with some filler.

Regarding the resin nose cone, i decided to glue first the back of the fuselage together, then i will put some styreen filling at the front of the nose and glue these. Afterwards i will squeeze the seems together at the area where the windshield will be placed, this to prevent that the fuselage will be to be more widely. In this way i can obtain the same width so i don't need to do anything about the windscreen.
