Aviano Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Hello friends, the F-4J is finished, so the next one is on my bench! The kit My scheme choice to be continued............... Oliver Edited October 22, 2016 by Aviano 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jckspratt1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'll follow this with interest. Funnily enough, I'm currently working on Ed's 1:48 21MF (Profipack). If this kit is anywhere near as good as that, it'll be a thing of beauty. I picked my kit up as a sort of 'maybe-whenever', as I don't even really like Russian jets, and I am so bloody glad that I did. I'm struggling to think of my ever owning and building of a better designed and engineered kit. I'm now going to visit my local and buy others in the Eduard MiG-21 range - including the one you are building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) ............ same as i, jckspratt1!! First i wanted to build the Kinetic F/A-18C but it´s out of stock so i decided to build my first russian, and as you said, the kit is incredible good! But you guys must wait for more progress, because here in austria is on friday and saturday the -- AIRPOWER16 --, the airshow with all the jets/formations i love (inkl. Frecce tricolori, Patrouille de france, BAe Hawk, Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter, Tornado, etc!!) http://www.airpower.gv.at/ Oliver Edited August 31, 2016 by Aviano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jckspratt1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think that's a pretty decent excuse to down tools for a while. I'm extremely envious of you - have fun mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi, good choice! In case you'd be interested in MiG-21R with an Austrian connection .... there is one at the rather excellent Museum at Zeltweg airbase.... a Yugoslavian MiG delivered by a defecting Croatian pilot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi exdraken, must look on this at saturday when we go to the airpower to zeltweg! Thanks for the info! Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Finally, after a great AIRPOWER16, i find some time to start on the MiG First, i try different RAL colors - the perfect match for the MiG interior is RAL 5021 water blue. The finish is the best possible without an airbrush! The following pic shows the first parts with interior color and Eduard PE: And all of my work i done the last 2 days! Tamiya pigments and an oilwash and the first parts are ready for assembling! Oliver 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi Oliver, Glad you had a great Airpower 16 I have always wanted to go it is a good show, did you get some good shots ? The cockpit is looking good and the water blue looks spot on will have to remember that one ! Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi Guy, thanks for your comment! I think this color is the best i can do without an airbrush - also it´s easy to spray on I have a few pics of the Airpower16 in Zeltweg/Austria for you: If you are interrested, there are about 200 pics of the Airpower16 on my Facebook page Oliver Petrosino / facebook Oliver 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Very nice Oliver , F-18 looks good with the special tail markings Spanish I think ? The Hurricane looks nice I think this is the one I saw at Goodwood last year ? I will have to check my photos. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4u Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 That Seat looks pretty good will be even better once the wash and pigments are added. Nice one Oliver. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thank you! Gave the parts a wash with Pastells for the dirty look after this, i played with Tamiya Pigments and different oils, this is the result In my opinion it´s ok Oliver 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviano Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thank you gentleman! Also i must thank Mr. Murmillo who told me my mistake of the wrong color of the seat cushion! Its medium grey, not khaki! Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yes it is looking good, well done so far! Its probably too late now the fuselage is closed up, but if you have the canopy open you will be able to see that you have left off the rudder pedals and their etch straps - part D75. Also a bit of black/dark grey for the arm and silver/annodised aluminium color for the handle on the throttle controls would be good too... Keep it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi Tony, you eagle-eye the rudder pedals are in, i placed them before closing fuselage! Also the black on the throttle control. But thanks for the infos! Oliver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
