hmm. most digital cameras Ive seen comes with a basic editing software built into the program. From there I am able to crop/enlarge pics that I have taken. On some of the cockpit photos I take, I hold the camera back a ways to ensure focusing and avoid flash washout, and then zoom in on the computer. If you hold the camera too close, like on your pics, the camera focuses on background objects.

Now that I'm here, where am I??

Sorry, until I replace my broken digital cameras, I can't get any better on a close up.

 you might want to retake pics of the cockpit, but back up the camera a bit. Your pics are super blurry and I cant make out detail

Finally had a chance to get some good work done anda take done pictures.
I've cut the stubs off the pieces of the Aires resin exhaust nozzles, and finished sanding and prepping for paint. I have pick up some Alclad Stainless Steel and lacquer thinner before I can proceed on these though.
I cut the upper fuselage to make room for the Aires resin pit and IP. Finished painting the cockpit, seat, and side walls, and my 5 year old daughter did a burnt umber and white wash to weather it up.she did an excellent job too. I'll be cutting out the avionics bay panels later and remaking the doors using photoetch backings and sheet styrene. I'll have the cockpit in place and hopefully some pics later today. Anyway, here's the pics of the pit area and my little helper.

As always, comments, critiques, and suggestions are appreciated. Hopefully this will breathe done life into this thread, hehe.

P.S. I would like to thank the guy at Scale Reproductions for being patient with a first-time user of resin by tracking down and ordering all of the sets I'm using for this MIG.

Holy cow, almost a month since anyone posted in here! Surprise

Been on an absolute build steamroller laying into a 1/48 Testors MiG-37 Ferret...so much so that I've barely taken any pictures (and I'm already decaling!). Sorry. Will shoot up what I've got tomorrow after I can upload what I've got. Think I've got a basecoat, camo, and now camo with decals to show.
