Wouter1981 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Finished my MIG 31 today, my first 1/48 aircraft in almost 20 years. It's entirely OEM except from 2 pilots. I only used Revell aqua paints and weathered with some artists oil paints. The engines have two flickering leds in each of them, but sadly, one led in the left engine broke down during construction. The base is made from some scrap plywood. I really wanted something different than the normal light gray, so went for a much dark grey with light blue underside. The kit itself is great. Everything went together easily with good fitment and the decals went on without problems, good instructions,... 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom.boom Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Beautiful work! Brute force is there, no mistake about that! The only thing I would do different is the base. I would go in form of the new insignia of the Russian Federation and not ordinary red stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you have a picture of the engines and a short clip. Weirdly the led I thought was broken, works sometimes a bit. It's temperature related I think. The hotter it is and the longer it burns, the less light it gives.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Ok, this is amazing! Love the FED's which really add to the kit but even without them it is fantastic. Finish is perfect and I love the touches with the oil paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wel that insignia would be nice, but perhaps would draw the focus too much away from the plane. The red star is simple, easy to build and still a very Russian symbol.
