50% kit, 50% putty, Nightmarish MiG 3


Recommended Posts

Hello Dears,

Whatever the odd, I manage (at least) to finish this one !

I really liked the MiG 3 since she look like a racer Aircraft, very nice little beast !

Seem to have been efficient too, with people like Pokrishkin at the command !

BUT ! there is always a but !

The ICM kit is not easy at all, adjustments were ... Erm How can I say .. one better :ignore: the question !

I tried to make my best, but it has been a Murphy's law build.

Anything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong !

And those biiiiig arrows, what a pleasure !

I must confess that the kit has been really near to be test flyed !!

I sweared a lot !

I used Vallejo color for the white, I'm not really convinced, must give these paints another try !

The undersides are Life color, a blend of german and israeli blues !

Almost everything has been modified, filed, puttied.

And this was my first ICM, the engine is in, that just make the thing worst.

The caption read" For the Bolchevik party" Every MiG of the 6 IAP assigned at the Moskow defense sport a different message !

Sounds a bit like their Spitfire VIII, came up nice though, can`t tell it was a battle to build. Great job

Thank you Russ,

Can tell that the Mk VIII is far better, May be because,I'm building my third ICM Spitfire???:smirk:

No really, the wing in 6 parts !

3 tiny parts very fragile for the UC... And so on ...

Really their Spits are far better !

Will try a Yak soon... Must be a kind of masochist !

Thank again.

Sincerely.

Congratulations!  I had this kit, and remember scratching my head over the wing.  I traded it to one of the guys in my club (who I don't think ever built it!) and eventually got the <gasp> Trumpeter kit instead.

Thank Bob,

Seem to be the right thing to do,  but, that's not the best way to have new friends :rofl2:

ICMs MiG-3 is complex and difficult to build but you manged it and it came out very nice.

:clap:

Danke Bernd,

It's not an easy one, hope that the trumpeter is easier !

Thank for the kind words,

And tomorrow, it's surgery for my hand, hope that they will fix it !

That continuous pain is really boring !

Have a nice modelling time !

Sincerely.
