Washing of the lading gear bays with the aame watercolor mixture and cleanign afterwards. At the end it is still buffing but somewhat rustier and dirtier.

The wing construction is amazing and should be a perfect example for other kit designers.
23
February 4, 2016
No possiblity to make a mistake with that construction
24

Chech how everything is fitting together
25

The design is so perfect that only minimal putty ans sanding will be needed after closing the body.

Flaps and slats down positioned, front part slided in for testing. Result: Amazing!!!
27
February 4, 2016
Akan 73005 Mig cockpit color applied. Beware, scratch resistance of this color is low, a primer would be beter before applying the color (i did not and suffered a bit)

I used a minimum quantity of dark brown oil color from my wife's painting material for a dirt wash, maybe exagerated a bit but most of these will disappear below the seats.

I applied a minimum quantity of AK metal wax to the bottom for simulating the shoe wearing

The seats are very good, only a little work needed on top. No harnesses? No and no aftermarket products yet, so i need to find a way to make them by myself.

Engines look too good to hide, nice job

Harry Eder
WOW your Mig looks really great! 👍

Wim van der Luijt
Looking good so far. I agree that it is a shame to hide those engines

Thanks to all... in a couple of days it will be finished and i'll share the result

24 February 2016, 06:48

Selman Yarar Författare
Finished. Result is not bad but i've made some basic errors! Beware of the horizontal stabilizer positions and CAUTION: Jet exhausts don't fit, it was extremely problematic. Don't finish the fuselage assembly before checking the position of the exhausts!

Bart Goesaert
will try to remember this tip...but the result looks nice in the pics shown...

Selman Yarar Författare
I've learned what the problem was. The parts should click-in but as these locations were painted, even the thinnest paint layer prevented them to fit. So don't paint the joining parts as they will be hidden inside. Strange that this is made so extremely tight!!!

29 February 2016, 09:12

Bart Goesaert
don't think it's strange, otherwise there would be complaints about small gaps end steps that shouldn't be there.... you can't make it good both way's...

true 🙂

Christian Ristits
Very well done Selman! And thank you for the hints, I will keep them in mind!

Selman Yarar Författare
At least there should be a remark on the instructions to avoid painting at those places...
