BIG Russian Jet Groupie GB

possession tax are too high for this camper :D

btw the low zone just after the door are to allow pilots to stand up during long missions.. i cannot exclude at least a coffee express machine 

Lol yeah I saw a video of one of those suspended by chains firing all of its weapons into a muddy verge. Looked dangerous.

A flying camper van that kills... the perfect thing for holiday!

I wish it were true about the kitchen lol would have been like a flying camper van

Outstanding work on that pit Bsyamato! How many hours you put in to that?

No kitchen Dean.. i think is a legend :D on the back, after the entrance door is full of avionics/weapons machinery .

Manny, both kits was low and wrong about cockpits details

the mig-31 also had decals for instruments but was out of dimension for the pieces to place on, ejection seats in a single piece 

the 34 had at the end acceptable ejection seats but wrong all the remaining pieces, back bulkheads too wrong.. so i brought six k-36 from pavla and resolved (a two seater mig-29  i have too in the stash) the ejection seats.. for the rest resolved with evergreen stuffs  gears need only some adjust

here some update

mig-31

the remaining details on inner fuselage

primed and added rudder pedals .. i forget to put before 

the su-34, macro pictures shows some needed refine work! cloches are from the kit with some extra detail

Now we're talkin'...bsyamato, that is some crazy-good scratching on the pit!  Was the kit pit that bad???

That's really great detail in the scratch building, are you going to make the kitchen for the Fullback?

Nice fulcrum Dean !

Vance wishing to see the 177 before the 34 

here some previous work done on the two russian, both have full scratchbuilded cockpits and the same type of resin ejection seats from pavla 

Mig 31 revell (the zvezda reboxed)

As the mig-25 is a little large plane , here an old family portrait with unfinished 177 on the left and the super etendard on the right

some cockpit build step

Actual state before the primer

The SU-34 is the italeri kit

large plane too!!

Some step about the cockpit:

and actual state withouth primer :)

Tomorrow hope to resume works 

Ah yes me too, Will have a look

I like the schemes the Ukrainian Air Force uses for these MUGS...

The progress on my MIG is going okay nearly at the painting stage faster than I thought I would be. Have not decided on the Air Force I will use though, the tails have been glued the tape is holding the parts shut and the tail wings too. It's not the best looking MIG that's for sure but it's one I have not got so it's welcome in my collection. As you can see I removed the flaps and leading edge flaps to position them down to add interest to the kit as for a 1/32 scale kit it is more like a giant 1/48 where parts count and detail is concerned, although you do get two complete engines that have significant detail but a poorly detailed cockpit a bit odd, that's why I had to scratch build much of the cockpit. I will get hold of the other camera again that I used for other pictures as the build progresses, but as for now these will do as there is not much difference between the last pictures I sent and these. Also if anyone knows of any cool MIG 29 paint schemes from the 80's let me know as I have Polish, Czech, Romanian, Bulgarian, East German, Russian, and Luftwaffe decals in my spares box and I imagine the stencils were relatively the same if not language then at least in position and number though I'm probably wrong about that. But if you see any unusual or just great paint schemes give me a shout I'd appreciate it.

Can i join with these two crossovered (flanker-russian-mig GBs involved kits) russian little jets?? 

The su-34 and the Mig-31

Actually just primed both cockpits 

I love your Platypus and want to build mine soon too!

Yes...

Well, you know that one can't rush an artist when he's involved in his "art".  Great art takes time; sort of like fine wine.   How long do you think it takes to "create" a bottle of Boone's Farm?   Now, please excuse me while I get back to the Strawberry Hill...

Very nice, Fantacmet! Never seen a white MiG-21, unusual but very well done!

As far as my MiG-21 goes, its pretty much all together. I will have to put some shims or something around the cockpit, otherwise there will be a huge step behind the canopy and the dorsal portion of the fuselage. Once that is done, time to paint...but I have to hit up the LHS for some Tamiya acrylics before I can start that up. Moving a bit slower than I'd, ahem, than YOU, would like but its a lot faster than I had been building in the past...

Manstein's revenge

Okay, enough with the Home Depot/Lowe's Home Improvement infomercials----ya'll mugs need to get back to work...

Hey, how long could it really take to build a simple ol' MiG-17?   In my case, about 6 months...

bada bing!!

Inspired by the huge graphic on here.  www.jplanes.com/mig-21%20page.html

The "hanger deck" is the floor in my home.  Ancient hand layed parkay.  Late 50's early 60's.  Original flooring in my 1958 Anderson cusotm floor plan mobile.

Always kept their aircraft in unusually decorated hangars the Soviets. Wonder if they had Kashmir rugs under the su 27?

Hmmmmmmmmm...interesting....and nice.  Were there really solid white 21's?  And how did you replicate the wooden hanger floor?

Ok here's some on the ground shots.  Decided the pics couldn't wait until I got the last few parts on.

Heh, the main thing with the MF is this build was a MF.  LOL

Ya'll MUGS need to get back to work...

Also I think the giant red switch is for the hangar lights!
