corsaircorp Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 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 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 ! An eduard photo etched hjas been used since the interior was To be continued in a few minutes 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 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 ! This one is fitted with a radio gear Ok gents, Let me know what you think of this one ! not an easy kit at all, but I managed to finish it ! Thank for watching and have a nice modelling time ! Sincerely. Corsaircorp 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job Thank you Russ, Can tell that the Mk VIII is far better, May be because,I'm building my third ICM Spitfire??? 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. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 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. bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbus320 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Lovely model of a lovely aeroplane! The winter camo looks just right. ICM kits can be a struggle but in a perverse way I find them satisfying! I’ve just finished their Spitfire VII today. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
