Paul Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I will be trying to complete the new-ish Airfix Mig 15 in 2 12 hour sittings. Not sure yet whether to go for the nmf Soviet markings or go for broke with the stripey green and sand over black North Korean example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcooljules Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I think given the timescale that any heads up you have would be useful! i dont want to spoil the fun for you...i mean its only a hobby and for fun. things that stand out, are the main wheels, same size as the front and the wings, the rear side where it attactches to the body, it doesnt angle off but just meets it at the same angle. few little niggles shape wise, but apart from that i hadnt looked further.

Paul Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 mrcooljules - Thanks for the info, I'll check references for the undercarriage. Mish - Thanks Mish, looking forward to this one.

Paul Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 And I'm off, doing a 10 till 10 shift today. I thought I'd start with dipping the canopy in Klear so as to let it dry and harden well before masking this afternoon (according to the plan anyway!)

Paul Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 I started a little later than I wanted today at 10:15.
