HobbyBoss 1/72 MiG-3 Easy Assembly - done.

[Dave Ward]

Finished - not one of my better efforts, I'm afraid - I've had problems with weathering on white aircraft before - I either don't do enough, but in this case, too much!


Looks far too grubby, now, but that's it! The model was cheap enough, so I'm not devastated at the result. ( I'm calling it an experiment that didn't turn out as I wanted! )
Fit was near perfect - the main problem was of my own making - I added a pilot & had to major surgery on him before I got the canopy even to fit..............
Anyway, I'm going back to conventional models now.....................

It does look too grubby but still, a nice little fighter.

Dave, he had to fly through the thick smoke of the burning fuel depot he was attacking...
Nice model.

Maybe you're not satisfied but it looks ok and I would imagine white is a difficult colour to weather.... And let's not talk about my first attempt at weathering a plane!

Plus these builds and build reviews of yours have certainly given me something to be think about for the future with these kits from HobbyBoss.

Thanks for sharing.

ATB.
