Time for a new project! The kindly folks at Icaerodesign approached to review and build their recent conversion set that allows one to build a Romanian version of the famous MiG fighter. They gave me an Eduard "overtrees" kit, their resin conversion and and an extra baggie of resin treats. In case you missed my review, you can see it here: or here. Let's kick this off!
Looking forward to following this build.She should build up into a really nice kit...Douglas

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a beading tool and where can I can 1 ?
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Ty Knight for the info.
I have tried many different tools to make rivets in 1/48 scale , all of which where unsatisfactory to me. Yours look like the ticket I'm looking for. I hope I'm not going to get sticker shock when I find the price however.
Good to see you starting a new project Chuk, will be following along as always.

Very nice presentation, your attention to detail is magnificence. I will be following this build.

Many thanks for all the kind words!
Friends, life has been really busy as of late- but good things are coming. This may be my last update for a couple of months- we'll have to see what happens. In the meantime, Kapitain Andreea is back to show you the latest. Cheers!
A very inspiring start, I'm looking forward to your build.
Hello Chuck!
It's interesting to see you doing a jet for a change - and it's looking very good, too! Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Thanks, guys! Well, we are moved in to our new home in Coupeville, on Whidbey Island in Washington! Well, almost moved in. We're expecting a Pod to get to Everett on Dec1- containing the first layer of stuff we had to pack to "stage" our Rdondo Beach house. Guess what's in that pod? Yup, the MiG, plus lots of other modeling and art supplies, to name but a small selection. I'll get back to modeling next month, so please stay tuned!
Lookin forward to the build Chuk - always enjoy!!!
Jay Jay Pardon my ignorance, but what's a beading tool and where can I can 1 ?
Didn't see a response Jay Jay but here's a link to the ones from UMM. http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?cPath=21_28&products_id=1322&osCsid=9ce8814cc4a4e4f20877af98920db59c
I did respond Chuck but guessed you may have missed it. TY agin for your kind and valuable attention to
my question about beading tools and also on your incredable WIP's . These tools are next on my tool buying list.
Kapitan Andrea and I are back in gear! The move went well, and we're adapting to our new lives in a new home and anew place. I won't say it was entirely easy, but we've persevered. I was able to get back to the bench in early December, but this is the first time I've been ready to post again- read on!
So many things I never would have thought of. Great work and thanks for the ideas.

Chuk,
I've missed your great WIP/tutorials on building your aircraft kits and I'm delighted that you're back!!
I know there's a lot I'll be learning regarding your builds and, from now on, I'm gonna be taking notes .
As a plodding plastic kit builder (both ships and aircraft) I'll never even approach the skill set that you and many others on FineScale possess but it's always interesting to watch your progress and ogle your "girls" .
BTW, until I moved up to Salem, OR I'd lived in So. Cal. for 38 years. Most of one of those years was boat sitting aboard my boss' 42' sloop (chained to the dock for back rent) in slip Y10 at King Harbor Marina in Rodondo Beach. That was in '73 - the good old days!

Thanks, guys!
Lee, we're now over in Coupeville- we should meet at the brewery in Mukilteo!
Mike, those must have been some glory days! ;)
Sneak peek:
Life after a big move throws a lot of surprises at you, along with all of life's regular highs and lows. Just in modeling I've gone through periods of not even looking at the bench, to hours of studying the subject and subsequent squalls of charging ahead and then banging my against the table. It's been about 7 weeks since my last post, so here's a long one for you. Forgive me if I reiterate some basics- my original mission remains to instruct and entertain, and help grow our beloved hobby.
