I love the Aries stuff, just as detailed as Eduard Brassin, but not as over-engineered (not a critism, just an observation). I think he's realised he forgot the Ben & Jerry's! I agree very well detailed stuff i always look for aires resin befor a build, but he's a big fella isn't he , he isnt going to fit into no yak 28p cockpit I'll tell you...love him though..

They showed a comparison between the kit nose, their corrected nose, and photo of the real thing. A big difference, so I decided that i'd buy one.

Cleaned off the excess wash this morning, and ready for some weathering this afternoon. Will post up some photos later.

modelling minion Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Your Flogger is looking very good indeed, a great representation of the Cold War classic she is. I think she looks better without the Eagle's head in standard camo and she is going to look stunning when completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 - I will receive soon at last , two noses from CWS ( together with one Foxbat RBT nose), I know there are changes between versions of the 23 BN Flogger nose to the 27 but the overall shape remain the same and if the changes are not too difficult to modellize I'll order another one for my last duck bill Flogger unless in the laps of time, CWS has the good idea to offer some dedicated noses...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you've some work on your hands. I'll be interested to know how you get on using the CWS MiG-23 nose, for doing the MiG-27. There's not that much difference between them. A little bit of fettling, it'll look great. Good luck. Edited March 19, 2017 by Wee Beastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm getting there.Cleaned up the wash, and gave everything a coat of matt varnish. After that, I've did some light weathering, just a few streaks here and there, then sealed that in with another couple of coats of matt.Started to assemble the undercarriage into the wheel bays, and fitted some of the undercarriage doors too. One pair of airbrakes have been fitted.Also finished the crew ladder, and the pilot.Untitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 - Which canopy did you used ? the kit one or the CWS part.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Drover Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi Ian. You've done some fantastic work on the MiG. I've only just caught up with the thread and I'm impressed. The Cold War resin nose is definitely streets ahead of the kit part; well worth the investment. The additions are really nice to. It's always nice to see a bit off context for a model. With regards to the nose, is it a case of doing the fuselage and then loping off the nose or can you do the left and right sides separately? I'd thought it might help with clean up if they were separate items. One other thing, I missed the decals that you used? Whose did you useHaving them break up must have ticked you off a fraction. Can't wait to see the final unveil. Cheers, Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see the final unveil. Cheers, Mick Thank you Mick. I assembled the resin nose section first. Then assembled the original fuselage halves. Once the glue had dried, I cut off the original nose section, then mated the resin nose to the main fuselage. The fit was better than expected. The decals are the kit ones. Not had this happen with Trumpeter decals before, but I don't know how the kit was stored before being bought, as that may have had a bearing on the decals condition. cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of little things to do, plus one more "major" component to come. The ladder is made by PlusModel, and it's plastic. They do other ladders, and the MiG-21 ladder might be best for the Yak http://www.plusmodel.cz/karta_en.php?id=642 Cheers Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in my opinion, the CWS PE is quite thick, and would look "wrong". Even their pictures, on the instruction sheet, didn't do it any justice. Maybe it's just me.

Biggles87 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Those Russian bombs look like they were copied from the ones that used to be hand launched during WW1. Great result John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
