russ c Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi everyone, Seeing as I`ve finished shifts this week, thought I`d show you some pic`s I`ve took today of a build I did a while back HiPMs 1/48 Mig-19 OOB build except for some work in the undercarriage bays which I detailed with some bits of copper wire as they were completely blank in the kit also carved quite a bit off the rear canopy fairing to get the open canopy to sit better quite a bit of Araldite and filler went into this one but I`m happy with the result Always liked the `Buck Rogers` comic strip look of these and might give the Trumpeter one a go one day Hope you enjoy, Thanks for looking, Russ 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Always one of my favourite aeroplanes and you did a splendid job on it, Russ! I love that camouflage scheme - is that just dark green over aluminium? Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigsty Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That must be a monstrous tail-sitter. How did you do the feathered edges on the camouflage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 That must be a monstrous tail-sitter. How did you do the feathered edges on the camouflage? Cheers Sean, Yeah, it took quite a bit of weight to keep the nose down, I had to drill out one of the clear ports behind the nose wheel and drop in small bits of lead and glue as I didn`t get it right the first time, you`ve only got to blow on it gently and it sits on it`s tail even now. The feathered edge was just done with a chopped down old brush using a stippling action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Great looking Mig 19. I reckon NATO called it the Farmer, because it was so agricultural looking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
