Wow!

What a brave bunch of guys! I'm impressed. And I don't impress easily. 

Gotta tell ya, a little boost from time to time is rewarding. Thanks guys.  ;D

The Flite Streak is on "primer" hold because I have some white primer ordered. Give this brand a shot and see what happens? Remember, I'm making a paint "story board," of the aerosol paints I'll be using, that will eventually get clear coated. Just to be sure.

See how this aerosol can thing goes before I apply any paint to the model.

So, while waiting for that white primer, I have a bit of time I can dedicate towards the Mig-3.

The cockpit still has a way to go, and the "control column" will be next. Did a bit of research on line and checked my file photos.

It's not a large piece, but does have a bit going on with the features attached to it, besides controlling the aircraft.

My photo isn't great, but you can see, on these separate printed sheets, the column is a double handed setup, in that the pilot can have both hands on the flying controls and operate the machine guns with both thumbs. There are two lever firing buttons, located just one above the other. There's also the brake located on top of the handle.

If I can pull these few items off and make them as small as they need to be, I will be happy with the results. There's other stuff, clamps, cables, nuts and bolts and rivets, see what I can do with that?

I found a nice color photo that will help me detail this item.

A photo review of the cockpit to date. Only 212 different pieces.  n~

Hey guys! Thanks again for your interest and support.

Got all my stuff together, or what's left of it. Got more stuff someplace?

I'll make use of some of this for the control column and possibly cockpit finishing touches.

I still have the seat cushions, seat harness and some tanks behind the seat to make. Don't know where that will come from yet?

I see something I can use in that mess.  ;D

Glen,

I took a peek and this is what I found, see photo.

Actually, this is the start of the control column. I spent almost an hour trying something that didn't work for the duel hand grip.

Bummer!  n~

The hand grip is made from the cut off end of an electrical nut. A bit of heat got into the shape I needed. I removed a piece at the top for the brake lever. I haven't checked to see if it's the correct size yet.  n~

That brake lever was cut from the end of a aerosol can cap, 3M contact adheasive.

That's my wing fuselage "alignment tool", a bamboo skewer, painted with Robert's 540.

Never know where you're gonna find stuff?  ???

Thanks for the reply.

Charles

Still waiting for my white primer to arrive.

In the meantime I've been giving some consideration to doing a bit of surface detail on the Mig-3.

The actual aircraft has plenty of it, with many sheet metal panels that are removable. Almost the entire fuselage nose area and panels under the canopy.

This Mig-3 rendition is a small model, so I'm not sure what detail I'll show, if any.

I brought in a side view, JPEG, of a Mig-3 and did a drawing over it. Moved things around a bit because the Loser fuselage profile is a bit different than the Mig-3.

I'll decide what and what not to use as far as panel lines. Some rivet detail could work also.

We'll see.

Here's my drawing, obviously more detail than needed on this small model.

As a child, I would spend hours with my Mother putting puzzles together. Didn't make any difference what the image was, I was just searching for that next piece that fit.

I would do three times as many pieces as my sister and Mother combined, and my sister hated that. Jealous as the world is round.

She couldn't understand, I just had this thing for imagery, even at a young age.

This cockpit kinda reminded me of those puzzles we would put together, except this time, I'm making all the pieces. 223 so far!

The control column is progressing slowly. I spent almost three hours on it today and it's still not completed.  HB~>

11 pieces so far for the column. I'm not including paint as a piece, although I imagine I could?  n~

I have this button jar, it was my Mom's and I still have it. All types of buttons and different colored threads.

I actually found the buttons in this bag that became the Mig-3's trim wheels.

I found some dark brown thread which I used for the pilot's twin grip. Photo shows one side completed. Yup! I wrapped it around, took forever. Well, almost. Couple coats of clear Krylon darkened it up and took the fuzz away.

Two wraps of Flite Metal at the bottom. One wrap of Flite Metal on the control column itself, a bamboo skewer, painted with Robert's 540 gray primer. The column will stay gray.

The front wiring harness cover is made of photo paper, folded and glued. Much of the cockpit floors, back and sides are also photo paper.  One coat of Robert's 540 gray primer and a coat of zink oxide. Rivets were made from the back using a "T" pin. The top, not that noticeable, is beveled as is the actual aircraft's. Release button for the brake is a cut off straight pin painted dark red.

Two machine gun activators, leavered with square "flats" can be seen in the photo. Photo paper again. It's 5/16" tall. This will get epoxied on the top center of the column, between the two grips.

I needed a base/flange for the control column. The photo shows a cut plastic push rod end. This should be boot covered. If I can find something to use as a  boot I won't use it.

Getting there!

Thanks for the kind reply.

Here's where I'm at with the Mig-3's control column.

22 pieces and I have a few more and it will be completed. Almost ready to install. I got a few items first, like the rear deck area and the seat stuff.

Not the best photos.

Oh, and Glenn, that Trophy, you shouldn't have.   LL~ LL~ LL~

Possibly today's task.

The top cushion.  For joy.

I'm glad you like the trophy....it cost a small fortune but I thought you deserved it! :##

As far as the cushion is concerned....a bit of blue foam, a file and some pin heads for buttons.  Just a thought.  Although I can see that you have probably figured a way of making it out of about fourty pieces! LL~

Glenn,

Thanks for the reply.

Pin heads? I thought of that, but they would be to large.

Thought of different pieces also, but decided to carve the thing out of a soft balsa block.

Here it is with a couple of coats of dope. Made it between bites of my sandwich.

Might need a bit more tweeking.

Now I have the back upholstry and the seat bottom upholstry to make.

Time for another sandwich.   ;D

Balsa wood always looks a bit better when painted, especially when it's meant to be leather upholstery.

Here's the completed upholstery pieces set into the Mig-3's pilot seat. Weathering detail added. Seat is heald in with gravity, has to be removed for a few other itams.

Only three more pieces added. I just did the math.

212 + 23 + 3 = 238. Total number of pieces used in the Mig-3 Cockpit.

Getting there!

Yea, and it doesn't even recline.  ;D

Well, by popular demand, I started back up on the world class cockpit.

Couple of hours got me a few items and only 10 more pieces.

Only put in place to size, not glued yet. Other goodies still remain to be made, photo tells a bit of it.

I should reasearch what these things are?   n~

I've been taking a really good look at the nose of this model.

In fact, I went back and reviewed the build photos, especially the area from the LE forward

And the more I look at it, the more it looks like the Mig-3 could be fitted for electric.

Could be an option? possibly.

Certainly more weight could be removed.

Lighter electric spinner.

I'd have a OS .46 I could sell

And the hatch area could be finished now that there's no need for the OS .46.

Could be a nicer looking model.

I will examine this a bit further.

Just getting a couple of things out of the way with the cockpit detail while I decide on a few things with the Nameless. No it won't be called Nameless.

Lots of individual pieces and I will add them up.

Two or three more hours and I'll be done with the Mig-3 for a while.

Hi Charles...still loving this build, what a wealth of scale detailing information!  I have thought of a name for her.....Mig-non......From French mignon, from Middle French mignon meaning lover, darling or favourite.  H^^

Glenn,

Hey! Hey!

Sadly, I don't hear much from you these days. You know I have Builds and Threads scattered all over the place, pay a visit will ya I don't like being alone.  n~

Are you the guy that won the 100.00 vinyl thing? If so, don't you want to collect? Did we rig that I don't remember? Kidding, just kidding!

Collect in bits and pieces over a few models. Or go like John's EAA Ringmaster.  LL~

It's nice that you always have encouraging things to say and I appreciate that, thank you. Tells me a lot about what you're made of. SH members see this also. You're a good man Glenn.

I don't know about that "Wealth of scale detailing information?" I think everyone knows how to do this stuff because I never get any questions." Does anyone even care.  LL~

Nice try on that name and I'll consider it. But, I like ARGO, from the movie. There's this one line that I really like, "Are go.......," well nevermind.

I might turn this bad boy Mig into an electric. If I do it will be Klingon Cloaked. Wanna buy an OS .46?

I'm at 51 ounces right now with everything in place with that OS .46. I think it would work, it'll be a cinch especially after gaining all that experience from converting the nameless New American.  LL~ LL~ LL~

HEY GLENN!

Thanks for the reply and making my evening.

Here's a photo update.

Yes it was me that won the graphics contest you had.  I still haven't decided what to get yet! LOL  I think it will be decals for my Brodak Spitfire though; I just haven't decided on a scheme yet.

We don't ask many questions about your detailing cause your pictures are worth a thousand words!  You leave nothing to the imagination except, "How do I adopt this to my plane?"

I have been dropping in, but I have just been busy.  I bought a 30", rubber power, Texan from a fellow on this forum and I have been busy plugging away at that.  I have no rubber power for the summer, so I want to get her done.

Keep up the great work on the models.  I'll be lurking for sure! H^^

Glenn,

You're so sweet.  LL~

I do try to give it all up and not hold back anything. Sharing bits n pieces with modelers. In this case, really bits and pieces.

The cockpit now has 41 more pices bringing the total to 279! I'm almost done.
  
Here's my latest efforts.

Glenn, thanks for the reply.

Why do you say I should keep the .46?

I could use the money for "E" stuff.

OK, John, Marcus,

Keep the 46. For what?

I have nothing to put it in.

I'm going electric and so is the Mig-3.

I'll have two OS .46

Should I design another model just for that .46.

Then my only IC models will be the Flite Streak and the one with the .46?

Cleaning up that spent fuel is taxing.  HB~>

Charles,

I really think you should get serious about building C/L Scale.  You have the ability to recreate stuff in "scale" from pictures and drawings.  Plus, you have the patience to pull it off.  With the new Electric motors and 2.4 controls, it will be a lot easier than back in the days of the 3 line J. Roberts systems.

Hey, what's going? Thanks for the reply.

If it wasn't for you and two other guys, I'd have no replies.   LL~ LL~

I"m actually taking your's and Marcus's advice. I'm designing another model for one of the two OS LA .46 that I still have.

I designed the thing in an hour or there abouts.

It'll be a killer.

No Thread or build on this one, not enough interest. ;D

Thanks guys for that good advice.

Bill,

Hey! Hey! What a surprise. Thanks for the reply.

Certainly a foolish thing to do, spend that kind of time on a scale cockpit that's in a no nothing model. But it was fun.

Sure I have interest in scale but I really don't have the time to go all out. Look how long it takes for me to progress with what I'm working on now. And I've started new stunt stuff!

Possibly the Gee Bee Z that I built for R/C, but it has weight with all those extras that aren't used in CL construction.

I'm sending you a PM.

Thanks for the reply.

The "Mark" of excellence!

The cockpit is done! Completed. Finished. I posted a few photos of it completed.  Next step is finding a way to have a removable canopy that stays on in level flight.  LL~

I gotta finish painting the SKYFALL, Flite Streak. Might put some blue on the back end today. We'll see.

Don't you guys have plenty of IC engines? I'll probavly sell one of the .46 and put the other in a model I'm currently designing.

It's called The Babby Boomer!

The name tells it all.  #^

Already drawn in not CAD. I actually have the wing halves made for that model. Might make some changes to the fuselage. No Build on this one I'm just going to throw the curtain open! You can guess if it's BOM.  LL~  LL~

Seems like whenever I get close to finishing a model, or the point where I have to spend money on it, I move onto something else.

Wish I had more money.  n~

Guys,

Thanks for the reply.

I actually went back and took a look at the build Thread. Tryed to remember the construction?

Gave me a headache.  n~

I think I can remove some stuff and add some stuff to get it done.

I can do it.  ;D

Now, do I really want to take on the project?

There are benefits.

Sure you can do it...do you want to? A warbird with a quiet, clean, docile disposition? Or a snarly greasy obnoxiously loud aggressive personality? I pick the latter. What are the benefits? Lots more work getting to the roll-out....maybe you need the activity...I don't know! H^^ LL~ LL~ LL~ ;D
