1/48 mig 3 late 148º IAP kharkov spring 1942 "Finished"

[destrozas.]

I bring another model I'll start, this self regale me to give a lesson to a man that his impatience led me to stop ordering for friends.
also what is amazing that I have mold (hence you have two instead of one), I do like the first indicates the header or subject, the 148 IAP is a model that I am fascinated by that and everything that the finish was not best seen, very badly painted, the color was very Linial and stains were like little clouds all plump ...., a friend sent me some books of the plane to see some more detail and brings the mold that is bastantebueno and almost do not need added, but no problem if you have to make a new cockpit.

this work will go alternating with PE-8 that I have at hand and I'll put hawker typhoon that after this topic.

I have seen several planes this camouflage but of course for my taste and how bad they were Russian white paints I see no wear painted very recently operating in mig3 page (I guess the comment otherwise know them and you put the link) get a picture of the device is only one side and you see that this quite punished and that trtare to imitate, see how it ends.

i hope not end as the spit and get to one without having problems.

profile:



I'll have to make some changes in the model to make this pattern trumpeter and trumpeter who has not placed a radio version but something more light of all versions and almost the last to leave the factory model.

according to the author of the article the profile was made at the rate of hypotheses and conjectures, based on what little you can see in the fotopero mig3 that has characteristics of late, as I know, this plane I have not studied yet and rather little as I move

Interesting camo.

[destrozas.]

thanks tobias.

I bring a small batch of photos from the beginning, everyone painted inside rlm02 that seeing as I have been able to go is the wrong color, the interior was painted a color very similar A18f the ghost light gray, which when played logical wear a Russian plane that was always in the air to be shot down by that effect color changes a lot.
the first photos of the parts will wear before:










and following with wear or soiled to be more concise:







the change is made using tansolo filters and washed with sepia watercolor, remarking with sienna tubes also in watercolor

[wbill76]

Nice progress on the panels and weathering, I'm with Dicky, they just look 'fast' with that sleek fuselage look to them.

[destrozas.]

really thanks, I also I love these planes, the loan and lease give another perspective to the Russian aviation, the new engine design from designs as alisson Americans or the British merlin gave another aspect to these and good fighters.
I have already finished it the more generalist detailed cockpit photos I post.

[tobias5555]

Great work on the small Details.

[wbill76]

That is some nice detailing work with the controls and wiring Des, very nice.

[fightnjoe]

that is some fiddly detail work there. nice work. she looks good.

Thanks lads, I am now working on the detailed heinkel 111, I am designing the interior in paper after it in plastic, just to assemble the cockpit inside the fuselage dry to see how he go and what will be seen as I found another design problem or failure that brings me head, the plate that goes behind the seat where you placed the radio is missing 0'65 millimeters short according to the caliper to go to the site, I will have to make a thicken the plate or bulkhead to the rear of the plane

[bish]

Nice work on the MiG, that's coming along nicely.

Are you going to post a thread on the He 111. I am doing a 111Z soon and planning on adding more detail in the rear compartment, which sounds similar to what your doing.

[destrozas.]

welcome all people.

bish if you need photos for that area and you tell me some way, but maybe you have more than enough photos and to detail it

[bish]

I have a few, but I would never turn down extra reference material. I'll drop you a PM.

[destrozas.]

as always in each model, placement tests or adjustments of the different parts.





with aluminum foil I cut what will be the belts, I have to do the hooks that will do a home photoetched

[doogsatx/]

Very nice! I'm strongly considering a 1/32 MiG-3 as my next build ("Recce 9")...definitely a sleek-looking aircraft! Too bad it was gutless at altitude...

[destrozas.]

From what I have read osprey book except the plane was very well regarded by pilots and appreciated.
as I have not delved much internet as I have enough information from the plane but if I have spent some photos of jobs and that scale aviopn is very good, (of course this in mine would leave much to be desired).

Animating with that after seeing your work make a model sure to remove the hiccups

[fightnjoe]

looks like she will fit together very very well from here.

I've read that it was an "acquired taste". Difficult to fly, not well-suited to high altitude (awkward, given that was it's intended role), and outclassed by the Bf 109F at lower altitudes. Still, compared to some of its contemporaries (LaGG-3...) it seems like it wasn't all bad, and yeah I've found a few accounts of pilots basically saying once you discovered it's advantages and how to use them, it could be a pretty good little plane.

But let's not forget that it was withdrawn from service before the end of the war...something quite rare among the truly successful aircraft (Bf 109, Spitfire, P-40, F4F Wildcat, Zero etc).

because according to the accounts of the pilots that I could be reading opposed his withdrawal, they were quite happy with his driving and had not had something that was recoverable following models very easily when towards vertical (auger), according to what I have ekrsmo read the book.
The problem came in the first plane models that unleashed in strong mig1 discursiones between 4 large builders the same stalin intervening to try to reach a conclusion which was the loser mikogan generating the fall into oblivion and almost without having motorized options aircraft, looking to the end of 1943 the way to deliver a second plane NII VVS specifications, but again the lack of engines no options left him as he was the last to receive such engines.
I get to I-231 or mig9 that had the AM-39 was the last series, barely get to produce aircraft since the power plant were delivered with a fault in the supercharger assembly, which made it from catching fire. studies led to both the I-231 as the AM-39 were abandoned in May 1945.

[Leon]

Nice start on the Mig Des.coming a long nicely.

[destrozas.]

advances in this time, as I have not spent discuss good weeks but good and standard life and having more time for my podre do more things.
finished cockpit





if you look control knob has the color of the plane was going, I left without dirtying the original color as the rest making a Giño to be changing even embers lever and clean, so I could read the aircraft many pilots after having great difficulty withthe open capony plane running (flying), or the obscured either left open even in the harsh Russian winter, which made the amount of dirt inside cogia was obviously great. It's one of the differences that commented that he would do about many of the trabajso seen in this plane.

[thug626]

I agree with DickyF. It looks to be more of a racer than a fighter. I'll pull up a chair to this build.

Dave

[wbill76]

Nice work on the 'office'.

[destrozas.]

thanks guys.

I put the last advances at the moment.







I give it a coat of black paint and primer Gunze,then we give the color of the Gunze lacquer c20 tummy so you do not miss either the appropriate black display. three coats of paint are fast and almost translucent one second slower and very dilida paint very diluted and the third painting, and painting little pressure wires as small as possible



drying color work top down, first give the target is a target used especially for winter camouflage as it is translucent to the incidence of direct light, which makes it something like chameleon colors that according to the position you look has a volume, aspect or other, everybody painted with a neat white and opaque.



if you look at the wings shown in the following picture and no longer only looks white but the plane is equal and no more white paint.







paint stains you one to one show of hands, is the work of modeling I like to paint these things, is very entertaining, it has to be well above the needle clean and consistent, I think I prefer medium well

[thug626]

The camouflage looks to be freehanded airbrush work. Outstanding work.

Dave

[deafpanzer]

WOW! Dig the camo... outstanding work!!!

[wbill76]

Very nice work on the camo pattern, definitely an eye-catcher!

[destrozas.]

Many thanks thanks you very mauch.
Of course, I always paint freehand, I mask just to cover possible errors in the pulse and screw up the work of another color, but I prefer to do these smaller scale camouflages much effort and complicated do not leave stains and equal

[destrozas.]

thanks guys.

I bring more fotillos the plane is no big deal but good.

[DeafStuG]

Excellent - camo looking very serious ! so Super work and very interesting of this aircraft is very different as common !

[thug626]

Looking good!

Dave
