MiG Alley Group Build

Good progress there, bsyamato. So which girl will you be putting in the dio? The blonde or the brunette??!

Cheers

trow a cent to choise

this weeked hope to finish the cockpit scratch, lots of ip even on the cockpit walls .Collect lots of reference on web but not easy to stand the right version  

cockpit updates

at the end turn on the analogic instruments version to complicate things

then the early version of foxhound.

lots of test fitting are needed, heres the progress

i can assure that not maniacal 100 % ip reproduction but is fairly accurate.. as possible for me

that's all, here is about 3:30 of night .. goodnight

That's some great detail for 1/72! Can't wait to see more.

Cheers

Bsyamato wait thats 1/72 scale ? I cant do half that well in 1/48

Thanx for comments

Vetterman probably i'm not so good to do same things in 1/48, because needed more precision than 1/72 scale (and at actually build rate i will out of my house for "not enough space")

main ip are finished, it took a total of 3 or four hours.

fit seems good

that's all for now, hope to finish soon the whole forward section.

.. and soon policewoman update

Casper!!! I want in!!!! Please!!! I have several migs in the stash I have been looking over everytime I look in one of the closets. I will get back later with the details: more than likely it will be Dragon's 1/72 Mig-17. But I also have a Mig 29 in there too! Will let you know tomorrow when I get home from shift.

Travis/STFD637

Bsyamato - that pit is looking good! And this is 1/72? Even better!

You're in! Just let me know what/where/when and stuff.

Casper:

Here is my submission for the GB. It is Dragon's Ji-12 (Mig-15) in 1/72 scale. I haven't decided which paint scheme I am going with yet.

Nice work, Travis. You're on the build roster. Can' wait to see some Red Stars.

Cheers

Can I join with an Airfix 1/72 Mig 15?

Karl

Sure can, Karl. Welcome aboard!

Cheers

Thanx Dupes!

actually painted more of ejection seats details.

Nice new entries!

Are the new mold from airfix?

It is indeed the new mold from Airfix.

Not a bad little kit, the panel lines are little on the heavy side, but everything has gone together fine so far.

I'll post some pics later on.

Karl

Hey Casper, im going to Hobart this friday and i was wondering if you could tell me of any good model shops?

thanks

Hi Red, these are possibly the best guys in town for kits. http://www.mccannsmodelworld.com.au/

They're in the CBD and easy to find. They actually have a lot of kits of all shapes/brands and scales. They know me there, tell 'em I sent ya

Cheers

Scott

Thanks, ill defiently visit them im coming down thursday actually.

tell 'em you sent me? will that get me a discount?

my LHS tiger models and hobbies, are very expensive, especially when you buy kits larger than 1:72

1:48 = $32
1:32 = $50

is McCann's Model-world cheap? because ive never built anything other than 1:72

Ah, I don't even get a discount myself!

There kits are about on par with other retailers but can't compare to OS sites like SprueBros or Lucky Model. Also depends on the kit, some of the more detailed Hobbyboss, Trumpeter or tamiya kits can be pricey but you often get what you pay for. The Tamiya 1/48 series are a good place to start if you want to venture outside 1/72. About $50 for most of those kits but their detail is pretty nice.

Cheers

ok, im only 13 so i cant spend too much...

now my P-39's paint is drying, time to annoy some "plovers" ,
(you know the ones that dive at you? you must have chased them before when you were in your teens?)

they remind me of stukas

Ah ok, yeah it took me months to save for big kits when I was kid. Building kits as an adult is pretty cool,you can afford so much more...

Yeah, my dogs chase plovers at the beach. A weird bird, they always cary on at night when all the other birds are asleep.

Cheers

a Chihuahua chasing a plover? i would like to see that! lol

yes i hate thier ear piercing screech, i shoot em with my Nerf blaster,
my dad is about the same age as you and he shoots me and my brother aswell , nerf dart tag is like paint ball but you can play anywhere

i was standing agianst a fence, and smack a plover hit it*

*no birds were harmed

Red Baron the stuka is your model?

bsyamato

Red Baron the stuka is your model?

The bulk of the Mig 15 is now together.

I used the Eduard Zoom set for the cockpit, not sure why as I'm leaving the cockpit closed!

Still it looks great, and the IP and side consoles are a big improvement on the kit parts.

Now looking like an aircraft.

I've just popped the canopy on, and will leave that to set overnight.

Next step - primer.

Karl

Excellent, good to see a fuselage. How do you find the Eduard zoom? Sometimes it looks good especially for dials bit I find it can be a bit 2D when used to replace entire entire consoles.

Cheers

I'm back from Hobart, i went too McCanns model world and bought my first 1:48 scale model!

Tamiya 1:48 A6M2 Zero

That's a nice little kit, Red. Welcome to 1/48 land. It's a lot of fun here!

Cheers

Casper the Chihuahua

That's a nice little kit, Red. Welcome to 1/48 land. It's a lot of fun here!

Cheers

KJ200 as on the other gb the 15 looks great!

The mig-31 wait for more space on the workbench, having three kits on last steps to finish.
