Phantom2 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 ...or perhaps you could simply cut out the lower petals and mount them hanging down, and then carefully(!) bend the rest of the ring slightly outward to get it in place? You´ll probably get some small gaps between the petals on the bottom, but that´s not gonna be so obvious. That´s what I would do but I don´t know if it would work, depends on how flexible the resin part is. Cheers! Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Hey Guys, almost my tough...... but mixing both petals set would look a bit weird, too much detail on Aires compare to the kit. but maybe I should cut both set and add Aires petal on the kit ring base...... yeah maybe... But that would be for my next Flogger built, cause has you guys and blachbetty remind me about those petals dropping down once stop, I won't do that mod, cause what I had in mind in the first place was my Mig right after his landing, with a pilot, full wing out with tank, flap and speed brake deploy... kind a like that one... NIce hey..? so I'll stick to the kit burner and exhaust, sorry Aires. Did work on my intakes and spliter plate, shorten them a bit... add some styrene to fill the gap between fuselage and intake... and will have to wait for my Quickboost spil doors to put those intake on.... totally forgot.. but that's Ok, still got plenty to work on.... so did some scribbing work on my wing tank. It took me 15 minutes, done. Thanks for watching and all your constructive comment guys, really appreciate, have fun and more soon. Dan.

Gazzas Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Enjoying this build a lot!! Where in the world did you get that scriber thing? Well...the thing that holds your scriber? I enlarged the photo trying to read the letters on it, but they blurred. Gaz Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...the thing that holds your scriber? I enlarged the photo trying to read the letters on it, but they blurred. Gaz Ah, that's a good one my friend..... you wont find any cause it's home made,. I saw an article maybe 6 or 8 years ago in a forum I can't remember where, about a guy who made something similar wasn't happy with the result using Dyno tape on his wing tank. Based on his idea I came up with a simplier version using two Bar Clamp. The part in the middle is the fix part on the left that I tooked from my 2sd clamp and cut the holding harm at the base. Tooked the red rubber pad off, flip it and crew it on his side, cut it large enough but tight to hold my scribber. Made some adaptor from various scrap plastic parts, found my center on each pad and glue them. Put in what ever I want to rescribe, tank, weapon etc. squeeze the clamp not too tight, adjusting the center part with my scribber on the line, lock it With one hand roll my tank counter clock wise while holding my scribber on it. Haven't found one I can't do...... It became a very handy tool and use it with every built. Hope you like it and have fun.

Do the end pieces holding the kit part rotate too, or do you have to make sure to clamp it loosely enough so that the kit part will turn against them?

Daniel Leduc Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thanks guys but don't forget, it's someone else idea that I simplified..... like most modelers that moment of building was a PITA, tooked me like forever to get it right.... so one day I came across an article on a forum, don't remember where and hey! why not.... You got it Kevin, "loosely enough so that the kit part will turn against them" with a finger gently on the scribber.. Those are protective caps I took from Cable splitter.. Glued with hot glue, one male and the other female so I can put different adaptor like the white one (Crayola kids marker tip). now, done in no time and move to something else. If it can help, I'm happy. Dan. Trak-Tor, LSP_Kevin and BradG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Leduc Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Ok, let's move to the real stuff.... my today update. thanks guys, definitly a must do if you want a close fit for your top and bottom shoulder... Looks way better that way.. No need to put the gear in since it's going to carry tanks and had to be full extend. Ohhhhh, it's gonna look nice and mean.... Ok, need your help Floggers specialist, can't find a close up picture for those two things, the wing glove... pretty much sure there's something in there. And the spoilers....... when open is there anything else then this...? some more next week, hope you like and thanks for the help. Dan.

Gazzas Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 There is a recent build of a MiG over at worked in progress. Looks pretty awesome, too. I'd link it but I'm on my phone. Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
