Got the last of the camo on,went a bit heavy with the paint and suffered some bleed under the tape, ive extended the dark grey on the starboard wing to cover it,seemed the best option. Time its had a few clearcoats and some weathering i think it will be passable.
So ive made a start on the seat,got the exhaust painted along with a few green bitsand added some post shading. Next a coat of gloss clear ready for decals.
Looking sweet now mark, seat looks good . I used a resin seat on my build (despite the kit seat being very nice ) as it was the Weekend boxing and didn't have any pe harnesses included. Cheers tony
Well i am well overdue for an update on this ! The decals are done ,seat is in,landing gear fitted and wing tanks are on.a wash and a bit of weathering done also. In the process of painting the canopy at the moment,that will then be fitted along with wheel bay doors and few of the last few little bits that wouldve got knocked off if i had done them earlier.
Interesting thing I just noticed: the ejection seat warning. Much better than the American DANGER DANGER DANGER triangle, IMHO, because this one will probably mean something to you even if you can’t read Latin letters at all. Though it does kind of depend on the viewer realising that the picture depicts the seat inside the cockpit.
Mark, this will be a masterpiece!
I live near the Czech border and for many years you could see such Migs flying every now and then - even if they certainly weren't Slovakian after 1993.
