VMA131Marine Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) My take on the Airfix 2009 tool sorta-MiG-15; I say that because when you put it next to the Eduard kit the differences are very apparent. It looks nice enough in isolation though. I added an Eduard photoetch cockpit set, but you can't really see much of it in the photos. This kit was a would be victim of the hardwood floor monster (closely related to the carpet monster), who conveniently rematerialised the canopy, which I had dropped earlier, directly underneath my foot. Fortunately, I have a second copy of the kit and was able, after much swearing, to smash-form a suitable replacement. Eduard masks greatly simplified the task of masking the wheels and canopy. Update: The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that I installed the inner gear doors on the wrong sides. Well-spotted, and now, after more cursing, they are fixed!

Simon382 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Worth the swearing I think! Very nicely finished. Makes a change to see a non Soviet colour scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see it (The Mig not the floor) in Hungarian camo marks rather than the silver norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Nice, regardless of the Eduard/Airfix differences. I also like the Hungarian scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 That's come out rather nicely - as Scimitar wrote it's good to see one of the lesser seen WarPac colour schemes. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hothersall Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Nice. As as others have said, a camouflaged MiG-15 is a nice change from a bare metal finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin1967 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Sweet ! That looks really nice and I like the finish very much. The swearing seems to be part of the 'fun' in modelling I find ! Thank you for the post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
