trickyrich Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 those instructions are a bit bizarre, those wee scoops look to be all the same from the photos. Pity as at first look those instruction look quite nice when compared to some! Nice progress though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ditto re. the intakes. They look great drilled out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Those ribs look amazing. Tough to find food like that here, though the Greeks love their meat for sure! Regarding those KP instructions...I've been there. Attaching those intakes is fun for sure--odd instructions... Your Mig look fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily basically all grocery stores here have stuff like that, atleast in the summer. - - - - - - - - Plastic cannons were removed and holes drilled for the brass cannons. Instructions with the Master products are really good, they tell you the drill sizes etc. Cannons installed. I will leave the resin bits off for now, don't want to knock them off during the painting process. The underside cannon was not included as a brass barrel, but the resin muzzle flash did come with the Master set. That one part looks like a faired over gun port - but I think it's somekind of antenna instead. MiG-19/J-6 was armed with three cannons and radar equipped variants with just two guns on the wing fairings. This particular variant, MiG-19S/J-6 had 3x30mm cannons, which packed quite a punch. Canopy masking to be done and we are ready for primer. Canopy masked... ... and primer is on! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 That looks really smart Reini. The primer looks nice and smooth and should make a great base for the paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Time to choose colours - these are the ones I chose. What do you think? I didn't have much to go on, just the side profile drawing. Started from the bottom, I painted some black to create shadows/dirt. After first layer of re-applying the underside colour. And second layer. I'll let it dry and mask it off and start painting the camo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Looks like your light green could be a little more yellow / sandy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 @JeroenS You might be right - I'll add little bit tan to the paint and see how it looks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 A good start on the painting, always best to start with the bottom! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 I did change the tone a bit, more yellow as Jeroen suggested - few drops of beige did the trick. First layer of paint is on. Two more colors to go. I think I will draw the camo on a paper to get some idea how it would work. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Nice Mossy green there Reini, looking forward to the rest. I really need a few of these, the MiG 19 is the best looking MiG to my eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is nice looking - it's actually quite a bit more streamlined and aggressive looking than MiG-17 - but still has the very classic look. Great looking plane. And in general I'm drawn more towards these types of planes that maybe are bit rough on the edges - than the planes with actually beautiful lines such as the Hunter for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 The side profile is all I gotta work with - so I needed to expand on it a little bit to get a better idea how the camo could look. So just a 'wild guess' really. Artistic license and so on. But having a drawing helps a lot while masking, especially as it's three colours. Masked and ready for the middle green. Green done. Next, I'll mask it out and paint the darkest green. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_tonto Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Excellent progress on your Farmer. I'm building an East German example at the moment and I had the same problem with the instructions and air scoops. Good to know it's not just me.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Having a drawing to work from is a great idea Reini, it really helps to visualise the scheme before applying it to the model. She is looking really nice and when the masks come off I'm sure she will look even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I was wondering where you'd gotten to with this one. Looks good with some colour on her, am looking forward too to seeing those masks come off. Only 3 colours!!! come on young man, think you need to step up to more 4 colour schemes!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi reini, Nice work with the painting so far. Did you draw the colour plan yourself or is it printed from somewhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Green is done - ready for the best part... unmasking! And the main part of the painting is done It certainly looks weird on a MiG-19, but I quite like it. I'm not gonna go overboard with the weathering as it will be relatively fresh bird, but given that the conditions were quite harsh for the planes I'm not gonna leave it clean either. I will probably do my wash first as usual, some small chipping and go from there. But first, the decals. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
