Art Model MiG E-8/2 1:72


Recommended Posts

  This really exotic MiG was intended to be the MiG-23, but the powerplant didnt work which also led to the first bail out at Mach 2.15. My model was featured in ModellFan 2015/09.

Thank you! I used different mr hobby and Model Master polish colors panelwise. The model is changed a lot, because the kit didnt look like the real thing...and yes...you can call me rivetcounter :doh:

Polishing panelwise with taped borders gives the effect. I have many different tools, separated in alu, steel, titan not to mix the tints

That explains a lot, as I didn't recall the Art Model kit being that good a replica.  Yours is a stunner, no doubt about it, and the NMF is simply outstanding.

 

Very well done!

Thank you all and

 

Vultures1 you are right,

the fuselage was really off, it looked like another plane. I saw some early builds and stopped. But i wanted this so much for more than 30 years. Love hurts!!!!:fight:
