Mortihead Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hello! This is my first build on this forum. Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 (NATO reporting name: Farmer) is a Soviet second-generation, single-seat, twin jet-engined fighter aircraft. It was the first Soviet production aircraft capable of supersonic speeds in level flight. Selected aircraft model is not random. This aircaft placed near my house at 500 metres near Aircaft University (like monument): Addons and aftermakets: - Masks Eduard EX139 - PE Eduard 49309 - Equipage wheels - Ejection seat PAVLA-S4801 After start teaching blueprints I see next: Trumpeter nose is wrong! I'm order resin kit "Correct nose SBS-48034" for fix it. Ejection seat resin: + PE Eduard + original details = Attach resin nose with fuselage 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachtwulf Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Nice work! I have the same kit with the same aftermarket sets. You want to look at the leading edge of the wing as they seem to rounded to me. ?What do you think? I have started reshaping them by sanding the mating surfaces down and it has helped.

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ooh yes; love that dispenser! [How sad is it to get excited about a plastic tape dispenser...?] The Mig-17 is good too, I hasten to add! Really nice subtle panel variations; it's very easy to overdo that, but you seem to be doing it just right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stathis Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nice effort with the reshaping. I would leave the nose as is in my kit, if I ever get a MiG-19 from Trumpeter. I have the HiPM kit of Shenyang J-6/F-6 to built a plane from Indo-Pakistani war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
