exdraken Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 after the PE session, tonight some resin for a change! Cold War Studio makes a very nice replacement fin, in the correct angle! including a drawing in order to to do wrong again the original kit's fin resin replacement in the correct, mot backward leading form and after the cut no to cut the other half exactly the same, and hope for the best when gluing it together 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) some more work, and better light not too much can be seen anyways... but there is something in there! a seam needs to be cleaned and filled at the tail base, but nothing that is more a challenge than joining the fuselage (that actually also should go quite easy)!

exdraken Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 so, wings are on, starting to look the part! some filler on the wing roots needed, that is all 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 resuming some work on the MiG after a short, but not finished intermezzo with a Spirit .... I am wondering how to tackle the gun bay! i is supposed to be opened - aka let down, with cannons and amo canisters in the down i.e. servicing position... https://www.16va.be/3.4_la_reco_part1_eng.html https://redsearch.org/images/p/mig-15_gun_bay#images-2 seems that I have to leave the gun troughs also off the plane..... anybody did that on the Trumpeter MiG-15? all a bit strange! I used Master gun barrel front ends.... hope the joint will be better / invisible later top side looks more complete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In close positions, guns and gun bay cover are inside gun bay without gaps? If Yes, then maybe use magnetic? 😁😁 Iron stripes inside gun bay as frame imitation & magnet inside gun. For imitation cable gun bay use thin synthetic wire. If guns and gun bay cover are inside gun bay with gaps, then need sanding gun bay cover, but if gaps biggest, then only opened position....or maked new scratchbuild interior gun bay... 🤗 B.R. Serge P.S. Magnet, how it's work in modelling? In the submarine I did this: Up from stand: Up with stand: Two magnet under white polystyrene square: Iron ring: 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 thanks for the idea using magnets! will look into that! in a week moment this evening I startet to glue some PE flap...., just one... the counter parts within the wing will stay in plastic... I guess I'd had to do them before glueing the wings,... on the other hand.... the airbrakes do probably look a little better, but especially different in PE, but are too small! did the two-seater UTI have smaller brakes??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in photoetched mistake and she maked airbrakes as on ordinary MiG-15? MiG-15 and MiG-15bis have differences exactly in airbrakes! B.R. Serge P.S. What dimensions (length, width) photoetched flap? This is for one of my projects needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explanes it then I guess.... the PE set is for the UTI, that surely is based on the MiG-15.... not the bis! Flaps fit the kit perfectly, will measure them later if needed!

exdraken Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 not a lot of modelling currently... kit gun bay, with Master Models gun muzzles and wire coil enhancement on the 37mm one that is how it looks on the plane, without glue of course... cover for the 23mm guns more or less in place the 30mm gun through to the rear.... all in place, without the 37mm gun I guess I will glue the gun throughs in place and leave the gun bay down.... not the most common way for sure.... but probably the most effective in displaying all possible! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 got some paint on yesterday! I used Alclad Airframe Aluminium will add some more shades later on I guess . The airbrakes, the hatch in front of the windscreen, what else is usually in a different shade? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 This one is looking well Werner. Airframe Aluminium carries just the right sheen for a slightly worn machine in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) moving on here..... before decaling, I strongly expect a 2 digit number on the nose.... probabl yin the 5X range ... any takers? color? red with black outline? can't be too wrong, no? big red stars with thin outline and white background?
