8 years well spent I think, really nice looking MiG, I do like the foot prints on the wing, nice touch.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I really like that plane. I have a Mig in my stash. The long nose and short tail remind me of the Pony cars of the late 60's and early 70's. Cudas, Mustangs, Camaros, etc. Good looking bird.

Awesome build, how did you do the boot prints?  They really add something.

Super nice job- I love the dirty footprints on the wing too.

Thank you one and all for kind words. Rob Groot those footprints are from a company called Uschi Van Der Rosen and they are decals. The sheet comes with US and German boot patterns and currently I believe they only do 1/35 scale but I thought what the heck maybe some really big Russians found American boots in a shipment of Shermans! Truth though I don't think it really matters because all the detail is covered up by the other mud so I think it worked out ok.
