Christian BruerNice start, I will follow this! Do you plan to build the bird in the markings shown on the boxart?
24 August 2013, 08:52
Mike McCabe 著者Similar, but there is a nice scheme with a white band around the fuselage which I will use.

Mike McCabe 著者Next step is detailing the cockpit using masking tape and plastic card

Mike McCabe 著者Now added new exhausts, I primed the model before adding some ribbing to the rudder and aelerons as I was intending to use tape to make the detail but it wouldn't stick properly to the rather shiny plastic.

Christian BruerLooking good so far! Got Revells Chinook in scale 1/144 yesterday. It is the one with US markings, but I think I will build a British one! Cheers, Christian

Mike McCabe 著者I don't have any helicopters but would like to pick up the Revell Mi-24. After the Lagg I think I need an easy 144 project!

Mike McCabe 著者More progress as time has allowed, added undercarriage with wheels taken from the Eduard Spitfire the rest scratchbuilt, guns from brass tube, decals and given a gloss coat. Next will be adding panel lines from pencil, I don't think in this scale they really need to be engraved. Then comes the hard part in 144, the canopy

Mike McCabe 著者Jan - I made a mix until I got something near the shade, sorry nothing off the shelf

Mike McCabe 著者After a delay, started work on the canopy with the windshield added, made from the heat and smash method

Mike McCabe 著者Forgot to say, I added some panel lines done in pencil before flat coating, still some weathering to come

Mike McCabe 著者Christian asked the same thing, this is a good description of the way I go about it, I tend to make a few of them to allow for errors in cutting out. You can usually find some clear plastic packaging to use for the canopy. There seem to be different ways of making the mould but usually it is easier to use the old kit part. uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4381

Duncan CookNot bad, but there are some Things that I would change:
The Trimm weight at the Rudder, the Antenna mast.
And I would sand the Machinegun covering down a bit.
But beside that: Awesome work.

Mike McCabe 著者You can of course use this method to make very small parts such as the canopy and turrets on my 350 Sunderland finewaterline.com/pa..and/mmsunderland.htm

Mike McCabe 著者After a long delay the little LaGG is finished. I didn't do much weathering, just a little streaking on the underside which is now mostly invisible, then a mist coat of light grey to soften the colours and tie the colours together. Given the start point I was pleased with how it turned out.

Mike McCabe 著者Not sure why but the newest photos aren't showing up first so you will need to go the end of the album to see the finished model

Duncan CookNot bad but ther eare some things that I think are not so good.
The hoods of the Machine guns are a bit too large, the radio mast is a bit to thick, like the weight at the rudder. Otherwise, nice job.
2 February 2014, 20:43
Duncan CookYes I do, but you are building 1:700 ships which look absolutlely amazing.
You could use some PE scrap for the weight as an example.
But that's just my opinion.
2 February 2014, 21:29
Mike McCabe 著者Well Duncan, always happy to take constructive criticism, I assume you will be too.

Duncan CookHit me like a showel as I realised it: these are macro pictures, not how it would look in my eyes.
Sorry, I forgot that.

Edgars BizūnsPerfect model! I kept it simple and didn't made a cockpit, bet it still is really good tho. Your model gave me more inspiration to finish mine.

Nikolajs NegerissGeeee 🙂 it's so cute! Great work! I like high detailing in the cockpit, accurate assembly. Paint work is good as well. And coin means cents, not Euros 🙂
2 June 2014, 18:31
Edgars BizūnsI must agree about the cockpit, had to do the same thing with my Zvezdas Hurricane, boy, that was hard to get all that stuff in.
2 June 2014, 18:39
Nikolajs NegerissCan imagine, Edgars. But I can rent you my 72-scale bugs, and you can upgrade them to 144-scale with modelling manna 🙂

Album info
Using the Zvezda wargaming kit as a basis a model model of the Lagg-3 will hopefully result!
