Goats are, indeed, an acceptable alternative!

That is far more detailed than my Trumpeter Mig-3. I may have to pick one up. I really like the look of the Mig-3. Too bad about the paint issues, she still looks fantastic. Oh well, if we don't have these kinds of issues from time to time we would get all cocky about our work. Can't have that.

Thanks Brandon. This one was fighting me with the decals too. The older ICM decals suck. Ah well. I’d like to get the Trumpeter kit as they make an early production variant. This one is the later production type. Should have it all wrapped up in a few more hours.

And here is my second final completion of 2022, also with a few hours to spare in the local time zone. This was a build that fought me a bit on the finishing stage for paint and decals, but overall, I think that it turned out pretty well.

Sharp looking little fighter me thinks.

I know the issues you had, but you'd never know. This looks great

I just love those WW2 Russian fighters. I have the Yak in my stash, can’t remember if I’ve got a Mig though. :bag:

Great work again. I do love these little Mig's, such a good looking design. Now get another and do a winter scheme. :whistle:

Nicely done. Great camo and she looks like a little hotrod.
