And I painted the cockpit. A simple brush paint, grey first with a flat brush. Then details with a 000 and 10x0. Paints used are Humbrol and GamesWorkshop

Re: HB 1/72 MiG-3
Apparently my Milliput was bad. The "canvas" cover did not harden. So I made a new one with superglue filled with talcum and baking soda.

That looks really nice borg - you've done a good job of picking out the detail in that cockpit and the stuff you added really helps inprove the look.

Re: HB 1/72 MiG-3
Nice, Borg. I am going have to get me one of those guys. Really like the lines of it.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Yeah, the Mig-3 is one sweetheart of a bird. I've got one in my stash - Zvezda too.

Re: HB 1/72 MiG-3
I love the mig-3, I have two more HB kits and the RPM.
The encore/Revell/zvesda/italeri/cap croix Sud kit is abundant but not that good. It has some severe shape issues. Especially the nose is very narrow, an engine would not fit.

Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
Re: HB 1/72 MiG-3
A last minute addition, the inert gas puppies the late series MiG-3 had.
I made it with some copper wire and a piece of self adhesive aluminium foil
I am planning on airbrushing next weekend, maybe earlier.
