Pin Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I will not be surprised if you haven't ever heard about this funny little aircraft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-8 All of a sudden two companies have released kits in 1:72 Prop & Jet http://propjet.ucoz.ru/news/mikojan_samolet_utka/2013-09-02-24 and AVIS http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BX72013 I was among those few lucky ones who obtained Prop & Jet kit - what a little resin gem! The instruction mentions that 3g of weight should be added to the nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Long and painful masking to apply a coat of red to the edges And here the disaster strikes. Liquid mask has eaten some paint - something that never happened before. Never mind - that is fixable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 A coat of future and very light washing complete the paintwork. Final assembly - almost done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So uncommon but yet so cool! Great build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavDoc Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Crazy to find your really nicely done model, just as I've been looking into building a 1/72 Curtiss Ascender ! This concept was more popular back in the day, than I had realized ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 This is an absolute jewel of a model! Well done job! You really made justice to it! Beautiful and glad to enjoy your post! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Nice work. Prop & Jet kits are a joy. I have built several of Musa's early Russian jets but he has, alas, gone on to what, for me, are less interesting items but might go down well with Moa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thanks . Musa, in fact, has never abandoned his "early Russian jet" passion. The last Prop&Jet kit is Yak-19 The problem is that this theme is finite, not too many of them left uncovered 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 When I was last in contact with him, about when his Vought Pirate was to be released, his reply was to the effect that the financial situation over there was dire and nobody had any money for kits. A pity his next is the Yak 19 as I already have one, the A&V version, and although Musa's will be far superior I would have liked him to have started with the Yak 25 or 30. Regarding your last comment I think that there are enough left uncovered to keep me going until my increasingly fumble fingers or the grim reaper put a stop to my efforts John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, however, Yak-25 from Prop&Jet, I have even built one https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235013381-172-propjet-yak-25rv-vacform 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 That's really nice. I have never tried one of his vacforms as he was using resin by the time I found about Prop & Jet kits. In case anybody is confused I was referring to the 1947 & 48 Yak25 & 30. I am currently having 'fun' with an Amodel Yak 25. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
