SPA Modeler

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.



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

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.

Finally some progress to report:



Ready for paint!

Nice, Borg. I am going have to get me one of those guys. Really like the lines of it.

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

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.

forget an engine, the plastic doesnt even fit together....

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.
