batcode Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 on my ongoing effort to try get some more kits finished for Telford, managed to wrap this one up.Its my first ever go at 1/32 and though didn't get it 100% how hoped calling it done. the kits it self wasn't to bad but for some one reason one wing didn't want to fit so had to do some trimming and messing around with it, I did intend to use the eduard set for the flaps etc but tried and was a ruddy nightmare the bits kept breaking off trying my patience and gave up. I did however use the eduard dashboard/internal set.for the engine I wanted do the airframe split and to add interest on the engine used various bits of wire to try replicate the wiring/hoses did try to get close to google image's but was hard trying to get the right angels, and is the first time tried to do this.Idid have a mishap with the paint as first attempt at the squiggles failed so had to redo, but annoyingly and had put a base coat of metal with the idea of chipping back the main scheme but as had to redo the scheme this didn't happen.... but may try add some chipping in between things!!other than that was a straight forward build luckily not to many parts as wanted a simple first 1/32 kit lol. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Lovely build. I wouldn't worry about the chipping, everything was freshly painted at one point or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace From Outer Space Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Batcode, That is a lovely job, well done! Larger scale kits are daunting but are also loads of fun. Costs a lot more in paint though! Cheers mate, Viv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 A fine looking wee beastie. Nice paint scheme and much more eye catching than a met/silver one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Looking every bit a MiG! Very 'real' impression, which demands respectable modelling skills and a keen artist's eye. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Superb build! A question though.......is that the actual front canopy design or Trumpeter has got it all wrong? Surfed the net but couldn't find a pic showing it! Hopefully someone can help,thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcode Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Superb build! A question though.......is that the actual front canopy design or Trumpeter has got it all wrong? Surfed the net but couldn't find a pic showing it! Hopefully someone can help,thank you. not 100% but do think trumpeter did make few mistakes on the kit as do know there are several inaccuracies. just dint have the funds at the moment to buy the correction sets and happy with it..... thanks for all the comments guys really appreciate it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPL Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Lovely build. I wouldn't worry about the chipping, everything was freshly painted at one point or another. If it stayed in the air for that long! But a very nice built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
