Great job on that Super Hornet!
I've begun work on my twin builds for this GB, my gifts from Swingr1121 - Trumpeter's MiG-3 Late Version and Eduard's P-39Q. I've only taken a few photos of my work in progress, but only after I have put together all the airframe parts with everything bottled up inside. Didn't even occur to me to take pictures while I was working on the cockpits and other innards...sorry for that.
Any way, I have an issue with modeling and space, as I am currently plumb out of shelf space for any additional builds (except for the huge Tamiya F-4 Phantom II in 1/32 that I have set aside space atop a curio cabinet for, which I plan to build later this year). Consequently I have determined that all builds will be either wheels up (unless of course the gear is fixed) or part of a diorama that I plan to do later this year. So both the MiG and the Airacobra will be wheels up. I've also decided that since my shelving disaster of a few years ago that took my one and only Russian VVS build, an Accurate Miniatures Sturmovik, that I will build both of these as Russian warbirds.
Not sure yet of the paint scheme for the MiG, but I'm leaning toward a winter scheme. The Airacobra will be the standard US olive drab, and I'm going to attempt to render painted over American insignia with the Russian red stars painted (actually decaled) over. I have found few references of Russian P-39s - even the Detail and Scale book I have don't have many photos, but I'll keep looking.
Any way, for the photos I do have, here goes.
MiG-3
The gear doors on the Trumpeter kit were a lot like the old Monogram kits - intended for wheels down. I had to do some surgery on the parts to get them relatively flush with the underside. I'm not entirely satisfied with my work in this area but I think once I fill in the gaps and get this bird painted, it should look fine.
Now for the P-39Q:
This Eduard kit is fantastic. OOB it is pretty well detailed and goes together well, although the fuselage did require some extra incentive to mate together properly, provided by various clamps while the Tamiya liquid glue did its thing. I feel like I did a very good job with the gear doors on this one even though they are also intended for the down position, which is why you see a gap at the top of the strut area. The front gear doors even went in without much difficulty, which was a pleasant surprise.
