Agree completely one hundred percent matter of factly.

What is with you all and 1/48? You're just screwing yourselves!

A 1/48 kit in a week? That is far to ambitious for me.

Bring it on! After the B-2....I feel no evil!

Woohoo! Is everyone ready to kick this off? Go ahead and post your stuff right up in here. I probably won't get started on mine til some time tomorrow.

Hi, Y'all!

Here we go. Monogram's 1/48 MiG-15, kit # 5403. An oldie to be sure. My scheme will be one used by the Americans after the first MiG-15 was turned over to them by the NKAF pilot, Lt. Kim Sok No, now known as Kenneth Rowe. He wrote the "Pilot's Perspective" piece for the Cockpits of the Cold War by Donald Nijboer with Dan Patterson's pictures. His major complaint? The cockpit environmental controls and the lack of hydraulic assist for the ailerons and elevator. Lt. No flew the aircraft to South Korea on September 21, 1953. Over 16,000 were built.



Only two sprues and a clear sprue. Not much to mess up but I'll see what I can do!

Im in with Monograms bf-109 kit, 1/48! I'll probably have more time to work on it tomorrow though!

My entry:




The only thing I have done so far... Drilling out the barrel of the 88.

Inspired by necessity and fermis, the landing light in the nose was missing. Soooo...... a bit of Bondo and some clear sprue.....We'll see!





very rudimentary cockpit, nose gear bay in place and starting on the wings. Can't close the fuselage until I glue Pinocchio in place
