russ c Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Howdy all, Managed to get a few shots of my attempt at Trumpeters 1/48 MiG-19 kit between showers and gales Finished as an aircraft of the 925th Fighter Regiment, `Dong Nai`, NVAF, North Vietnam, around 1971 Built almost completely from the box contents Only additions being some seat belts and a brake/power steering line on the nose undercarriage Decals came from L Decals set LDS 48007, `Migs over Vietnam Pt 2` ...... ...and a few from the kit Much easier to build than my last attempt which was the HiPM kit Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks FF, its two coats of Humbrol Enamel Chrome 191 over a satin grey undercoat ( probably Humbrol 165, can`t remember exactly ), two coats of Klear/Future and a few odd panels picked out in Matt Varnish to break it up a bit. Glad you like it, Cheers Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 As others said, the dull metal finish is superb. And I love how used it looks! Such a neat looking jet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 A very nice MiG perfectly presented. You have nailed the used NMF look of These aircraft by much. Is this a good build ? Got the kit in my stash for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a good build ? Got the kit in my stash for years. Thanks Bernd, the kit`s pretty straight forward, the only thing I found were: the ailerons are a bit deeper than the mainplane and fitting the struts/sway braces for the drop tanks was challenging ( unless I drilled the wrong holes ) but nothing horrific.
