1:72 KP MiG-19S Farmer C Soviet Union

[Ryan Hothersall]

The old 1:72 KP MiG-19S Farmer C kit built in Soviet markings.

 

Since this is an old kit, fit in some places wasn't the best, such as wings and tail planes, so needs quite a bit of filler in places. Decided to sand off the raised panel lines completely as I had sanded them off in places while filling gaps.

 

Cockpit is very simple with just a seat and instrument panel, and canopy is typical KP, not the right size for the hole.

 

Needed quite a bit of weight in the nose, so used wire in places to strengthen the undercarriage.

 

Overall colour is Tamiya XF-16 Aluminium.

 

Decals came from the spares file as the kit decals were unusable. They are some left over Mastercraft decals. They went on without any issues.

Comparison alongside a F-100 Super Sabre, the 1:72 Hasegawa one. The Super Sabre isn't one of my builds, Dd built it (with assistance from me).

Nice! I believe I have this one in the stash. Hope I can make it look as good as that.

Very nice Ryan. I had to double take to see that you really did take All the panel lines out. On the Heller, its rivets, lots of them.

 

It looks very smart and right. I like the comparison with the F-100, she looks quite petite in comparison.
