Mig-3, My Really New Ride! NEW PHOTOS!
« on: November 19, 2015, 05:18:23 PM »
I enjoyed finishing the Mig-3 so much, I had to upload the lost photos.

Finally assembled the Mig-3.

I hope the Mig-3 is well received.

Wow!

Finally got some kudos!! Thanks guys.  #^

I mentioned Post # 134 at the New American Thread.

I mention in that Post about some of the short comings with the construction of this model. It wasn't the Mig-3 at that time.

Sure, I know it's built with heavy wood and overbuilt actually, but the build has been fun. As I mentioned way back, a lesson in scale detailing.

May not fly well, but I think it's pretty to look at.

Thanks for the replies!

Jim Fruit

Jim,

Thanks for the kind reply.

Airbrushing.

The only airbrushing I did on that Mig was with the soft teal color on the nose. A couple of passes over the white primer to cover but just a solid color. Artist's acrylic for that color.

The rudder got a pass or two to dial down what I had previously brushed on it. I needed the edges to appear a bit softer. Artist's acrylic.

The exhaust soot. That was airbrushed, one pass, but I gave it a swipe when still wet, immediately, with my finger, then made another light pass. Artist's acrylic.

All the rest was Krylon aerosol cans.  LL~  n~

"Ya gotta love it when a plane comes together."

Jim, I made a living with an airbrush for 35 years, I really hate to start them up.

So, all that detailing was accomplished with either wet or dry brush work techniques. Some artist's acrylic and some oil base.

Thanks for the reply.

John,

You do good work yourself.  H^^

There's no point in picking on anyone, the purpose of the Forum is to share ideas and give other modelers credit for their work and accomplishments in the hobby.

It needs a pilot.
... Just teasing you!  :)

The real MiG-3 looks pretty cartoonish - and I love how you made this even more cartoonish (in a subtle way, not kids' style) and went to the trouble of giving it a finish that totally convinces me, and many who actually know something about finishing.

Another thing I like is the choice of a captured one for color scheme. Apparently, CT+SV was a real captured MiG-3. If you ever build another one, would you consider a what-if or could-have-been one? Looks like Germany had made a deal to sell 22 captured ones to Finland 1942-43, but they were destroyed in an air raid....
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

PerttiMe,

You must know that this Mig-3 came about from a model that was originally called the "Loser."

http://stunthanger.com/smf/cfc-graphics/'mig-3-reconnaissance-aircraft-and-warbird!'/

Title of the Thread:  "Mig-3, Reconnaissance Aircraft and Warbird!"


The Thread is a bit choppy because a good percentage of replies have been deleted.  LL~

But the Thread is the past, and the model has undergone many changes and additions.

You have no idea how much fun I've had building and detailing the Mig-3.

Fun is what the hobby is about!

thanks for the kind reply.

Charles

I have someone interested in purchasing the model.

I'm considering.

Glenn,

Now I try to be creative in my photo taking because it's something I never really did over my lifetime. I never really took photos and I'm catching up.

I put the camera on the ground sometimes. I don't have may shots of the models bottom.

Palm trees. They are called palm trees. The quality ones are nursery grown.

Thanks for the kind reply.

Terry,

Thanks for the reply and interest.

I didn't create the markings. The German markings are taken from an actual captured Rissian Mig-3.

So, the scheme is authentic.

The rest of the model has true scale short falls, obviously, and I talked about this during the Build.

Check out the Build!

The model has still been well received.

Thanks for the reply.

Terry,

Thanks for the reply and interest.

I didn't create the markings. The German markings are taken from an actual captured Rissian Mig-3.

Charles


I meant the creativity of going with non-standard Russian markings.
I've always liked the looks of the MiG, almost always seen with Red stars and commie slogans - yours is a nice relief.
And yes, I've enjoyed many of your posts showing the development of this build.

Some may comment on the flyability of your creations, but I see it as a matter of what enjoyment one gets from the hobby.
I suspect many on the forum build/collect plastic NASCAR, truck or aircraft models with no regrets that they don't run or fly.
It might be said they're not intended to, but I don't recall your saying you intended to fly yours either.  ;)
Keep up the great work and please continue sharing of the fruits of your labors - labor obvious to all.

Terry,

Those are really kind and correct words. LL~ LL~

Thanks for that.

Certainly I've commented on my choice of wood, ancient House Of Balsa from my R/C days, but I never said I won't fly my models.

Sure, when all else fails, some use weight or not flying a model, for a purpose.

I knew the ARGO and the Mig-3 would be a bit heavy, for reasons given, but there are many modelers who deal with heavy models all the time.

I fly everything I build, unless I sell it or have it bronzed.  LL~ LL~ LL~

Terry, thanks again for the kind reply.

Just stunning Charles! Did you sell it????

Bad Bill,

Hummmmmmmm, "Stunning." I can live with that.  ;D

Thank you.

Not sold yet, but there is on going negotiations.

Wish I could get an offer on the ARGO.

Bad, as always, thanks for taking a look.

Charles,
  You really should pick out your favorite warbird and do a scale project. You definitely have a knack for it! Clearly, you get the most satisfaction out of that end of the hobby.

Nice job!

Elwyn,

You have a great eye, and now the jig is up.

It is the Brodak Fancy Pants, except with many mods. ;D

All kidding aside, I did get an unfarmiliar e-mail from a fellow modeler, asking me where I purchased the Mig-3 "Foamie?"

Turned out to be someone I knew playing a joke.

Yes, I told him where I purchased the Mig-3 Foamie.  LL~

It does look like a foamie.

Thanks for the reply.

Fred,

Thank you for the kind reply. Best I could come up with using aerosol cans and the wide open outdoors.

I cannot see myself starting up my spray equipment and spending the money for auto base paint, so this level of quality will have to do.

I think the surface detail using vinyl adds to the overall look.

Photos always make models look better than they actually are. A lot better!

Thanks again for the reply.

Thank you, you're too kind.

I can understand you not wanting to post another picture. I'M KIDDING!! Just kidding.

Go through the Forum, there's all kinds of pictures for all kinds of models, at many different building levels.

Post your photos!

Doc,

I don't build hanger queens. I fly all my models as I have over many years. Some being better built and better "lookers" than what I'm turning out in CL.

I enjoy building more than flying, but I do fly.

I have to brake in the engine in the Mig-3 and in the ARGO. I have to remove the engines to do this.

I expect that these models, especially the Stuka Tank Buster will be air active just after the first of the year.

I hope to get the Gee Bee Z completed before the first of January. I've also started an Ag Cat and the Fire Boss. So I'm busy building.

I'm not afraid to fly any of the models I design and build.

Hang in there Doc, I'll have great photos of all these models flying.

What's the point of building if you don't put them in the air.


Thanks for the reply.

Not so sure that is a MIG-3.  Nevertheless, the name doesn't matter.  It's very nicely done with plenty of detail.  Let us know if you have flown, because maybe you have made a stunt winner!

Floyd,

Thanks for the favorable comments.

The model is far from a stunt winner, it's in at 56 oz possibly a tad more.

So is the ARGO at 55oz. Both are small models. they were good learning experiences though and they are nice to look at. I don't care if they don't do the pattern. They wern't designed to.

I'm hoping the Stuka Tank Buster will come in at around 50oz, possibly less, and it looks like it will. That model has a bit more wing area and could be a good flyer.

The ARGO II I expect to be a good flyer for my first real attempt at a light stunt design.

Floyd, I know how well you build, so your replies are really appreciated.

Thank you for the kind comments.

Charles

Edited, Stuka Tank Buster came in at 55oz and change, small change.

Did you see the Stuka Tank Buster? I hope to be back on it at the end of the month. This is a wet month in FL, rains quite a bit and my spray booth is the outdoors.

Frank,

Don't tell anyone, but I just started framing a model of this aircraft. Mums the word.

Thanks for the reply and the kudos.

Hey Charles,

Just noticed this thread. I have to say WOW.  Exquisite model. Looks like the real thing.  I would like to see it in person.

Hope we can meet up soon.  I know you are working . I've been flying with the boys at the field, but missed last three weeks because of house projects I had to finish.  Again, outstanding work!  ( want me to test fly, LOL )

Charles, I don't think Mark is trolling, what ever that is,  Seems he asked a legitimate question.  I've had friends that could build beautiful planes  that would fly better than what I built, but they had no plans to fly them.  Part of it was health issues and no desire to fly but loved to watch other people fly them.  But, really what happened to the Flite Streak?

Charles, congratulations again for the outstanding finish!
all i can say is that you´re one of the modellers that seeks for perfection and always learning and sharing your experience with other modellers that are equally interested to improve.
all the best from Brazil and keep building!

Fred,

You're always kind with your replies. Thank you. I wish my finishes were as light as yours. Post your secrets, I need them.

Traian,

Funny guy.  LL~ LL~ LL~ You know I love you baby.

Yes, it is outstanding work isn't it.

No, the Mig-3 has not been flown yet. I'm trying to sell it.

I'm selling all of them.

I have a nibble on two models.

Thanks for the reply.
