I made it with some copper wire and a piece of self adhesive aluminium foil



I am planning on airbrushing next weekend, maybe earlier.

That detail looks very good!

Got to do some airbrusing tonight!

Here are both MiG's




And the smal one painted



The black base is on. Next up is my first try with Akan paints on the big MiG.

Painted the underside blue with Akan paint. I chose no to go for full coverage but a bit more "marbled".

The upper colour is on. Again, quite extreme with the shading.

I have put the decals on. The arrows was quite difficult. Fortunately I have several HB MiG-3's in the stash so it wasn't a real problem that my first two attempts failed. Because I destroyed a few arrows before finding the solution. Which was to cut the decals before putting it on. And making a bigger hole then the one Hobbyboss would like you to make.



However, my nice inert gas pipe on the left side hinder the decal.



Also notice how not white the plane is compared to the pictures taken outside.

Nearing the finish line.

The flat coat after detail painting and touch ups.



And assembly:





Only thing left to do is the do the arial. But that is going to be tomorrow because it is 22:15 here so I am going to bed.

ooooh weee! that is looking GOOD!

Excellent Borg!
