Looking forward to seeing these tiny things come together. You going to do your own GB with both or just concentrate on one of them for now?

Just one for now Rick. I think there are like 8 color choices shown with decals to match.   |

I don't see any reason not to be able to Jeff! The LSA is on onsite GB for fun. The Challenge is a contest open to all things with wings!! Say the word and you name can be added to the mix! |

Always liked the look of that Mig especially after seeing the real thing at USAF museum in Ohio. You have my attention of course!

1/144, eh? Surprised you didn't try to track down a 1/72 kit... |

Well, I figured what the heck the other two builds had three numbers in the second part of their scale, so why not a third.  |

O.K. The bench is cleared.  Next step, sprue shots |

Don't need much bench space for a 1/144 jet!  |
|
|
|
Post by imatanker on Jul 21, 2014 10:53:42 GMT -5
Or shelf space either |

True true! Time to downsize your entire collection to 1/144, then?  |

Marc, I don't think so Bud. I'd like to find some more of Dragons Panzer Corps stuff though. Had a good time doing the Leopard Andy, not for long I hope. There aren't very many parts to this and did I mention, it's small  |

And we're off like a Herd of Turtles. Sprues, decals and masks..................  Instructions...............  Maybe start with the Cockpit? |

Post by TRM on Jul 22, 2014 6:59:28 GMT -5
In this scale it actually has a cockpit? Taking the parts out of the box is an excellent start my friend!! Carry on!! |

It's 1/144...can't have more than about 8 parts. Aren't you done already?? |

Post by imatanker on Jul 22, 2014 10:39:23 GMT -5
Freakin' Wise Guy you are Remember there are two planes in this kit. So the parts count is way up there. I haven't actually counted them but there's got to be like 16. |
|
|

Post by deafpanzer on Jul 22, 2014 10:47:41 GMT -5
Jeez, I count only 20 parts?!?!?! Maybe I should do that too! LOL But why so many decals... box offers different options I assume?

There are seven paint choices Andy. Haven't even begun to think about that yet and by my count there are approximately 44 parts per Mig. |

Thanks Dudes, I'm taking my time with this. Never done a wingy before. Spent most of the morning figuring stuff out. Where parts go what to do first, all those cool things I did manage to put some glue on some parts and even got some paint on. Pics in the morning. |

I'm waiting to see how the cockpit comes out before I make a choice. This means you can see it? Without a magnifier I wouldn't even be able to see if there's a cockpit in that teenie thing Great job, fit looks excellent. |

Maybe some sprue shots tomorrow
