Cheetah11 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Ryan the box art of both Italeri models are incorrect as well. The C tanks on the E position and vice versa. Nick Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 That is some seriously neat work -when I built a car model I found it very challenging, as normally a bit of shading and weathering will hide some imperfections which you can't use to hide a slip-up now Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Getting started on the rear cockpit bulkhead, more work to go! Marcel111, Dandiego, Sasha As and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Well this isn’t happening, this ladder is an imprecise mess. I can’t think of a better candidate for a 3D printed replacement. Having profile shots of the part will make it somewhat easy to reproduce. I use Fusion 360 and have a Creality Halot Sky printer, more details as I get it sketched up.

You can clearly see the compartment behind the ejection seat, which, however, was not taken into account by Italerie or Revell. I am sure Nick might be of help here too, if this is related to your version. Ryan and Isar 30/07 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an awesome picture, thank you. @CarstenB My (painted) wiring is a bit stylized and artistic and not really based in reality. I guessed on the wiring loom labels, glad I was somewhat on the right track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Why not Australia, Switzerland, South Africa). I forgot the most important: considering the back position of the air inlets, it is not a Mir III C because they would arrive in the middle of the cockpit, it is thus of the family of MIR III E.
