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.

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.
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
Bsyamato wait thats 1/72 scale ? I cant do half that well in 1/48
Randy So many to build.......So little time
That's some great detail for 1/72! Can't wait to see more.
Cheers
On the bench: A-4F 1/32 Hasegawa
Just deployed: F6F-5N Hellcat Nightfighter 1/48 Eduard
Up next: A6-E Intruder 1/48 Revell
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
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
Good progress there, bsyamato. So which girl will you be putting in the dio? The blonde or the brunette??!
some update
start to add consolles
on the picture a fantasy figure that will explain soon
carefully cuuting excess plastic the cockpit fit good
tha's all for the mig.
I decided to put the foxhound in a basic diorama, just as showed in some russian parade to public.
I'll just put it in a concrete base, probably some civilia that look where putin put people moneys
and to survey the mig put a police woman , here some good reference
So.. i don't have a set of russian police then some scratch needed.
To scratch a body in 1/72 is not so impossible, but faces are another question , then i'll use pieces frome the above elven fantasy figure from caesar miniatures
after some cut (included elves ears) take measures to scratch the legs from evergreen rod, really good to carve
and now thats really all, i do this waiting the glue dry on the cockpit
some update for the 31
starting scratch cockpit
measuring with caliber and cutting pieces needed for bulkheads and cockpit floor
glued and fixed with extra reinforecer
using references and ejection seats i find the right height for the cockpit floor, the rear need just to stand on the front well.
increased at the right height with 3 mm
then added the middle bulkheads glued to the floor
that's all for now!!
scale drawing as reference (included see through views of cockpit ) at airwar.ru
Lurking !
free bases ejection seats with dremel hard disk
matt black first layer on seats (other two for mig-29 in aircraft section)
these piece are the ex cockpit tub and ex afterburner conduct...
start to cut something of forward fuselage
now some free space to scratch new cockpit (original ip is flat! then on the recycle too!)
at least the plastic of this kit is easy to cut.
Casper the Chihuahua ...and we're off! Great start, that is a huge bird, bsyamato Yeah good ejection seats make all the differernce, can't wait to see how the office shapes up! Cheers

Yeah good ejection seats make all the differernce, can't wait to see how the office shapes up!
i hope not make troubles with resin pieces , i used in past metal ejection seats but never managed resin
I'll sctatch the cockpit tub, the one in the kit is totally wrong, and yes Dupes , the mold are 100% from zvezda , but unfortunately not at actual zvezda standards (es. like the new mil mi-26 i love it!).
then.. my gridline
the kit is boxed as revell but this is the only part from revell , the decals sheet (and are printed in italy )
recently i got six k-36d from pavla to start this mig , the mig-29ub and a su-34, i like to not use aftermarket parts but to scratch six equal ejection seat will too tedious.
heres the "zvezda" sprues
handsgrip test fitting
as you can see there's have no engraved lines but "very" engraved and large lines
afterburner nozzles have no details, and out things are no better.
parts are enginered in a strange way.. (lots of work needed to made something decent)
Just as information, someone know a better mig-31 kit in 1/72 scale?
The foxhound is a giant even in 1/72 scale, i compared it with same scale four engines grief and with a super etendard
ok that's all for the bench, i'm counting to start works this weekend

Aww come on V-man, I myself am committed in seven builds at the moment and at least half of them I am doing 2-4 builds. You've got over a year, I'd love to see you on my page!
