Desert Marlin AutorI think tomorrow will be a good day to make some progress!!!

Desert Marlin AutorThe ResKit Seat is swallowed whole by the cockpit. The Eduard Seat looks far more accurate in terms of size. I like the detail of the ResKit Seat, but it just seems too small. Any thoughts out there?!?

Mark SherwoodGot to agree, the reskit seat looks packed with detail, but too small. Whereas the Eduard seat looks in scale with a good amount of detail. 👍

Desert Marlin AutorThanks Mark! That seems to be the conclusion I come to! Cheers!!!

bughunterThe Reskit page say "Recommended kit: Any" so it seems not to be designed for a smaller kit.
If I see the Eduard leg holders are horizontally, on the Reskit one they point downwards. May be the Reskit seat needs to be mounted in higher position, so the headrest is is same position as Eduard? But I have not seen drawings of the MiG.

Ben MThere's multiple types of ejection seats KM-1, SK, etc. depending upon which variant of this particular communist tube you're building.

Desert Marlin AutorFrank: If I place the ResKit Seat high on the rails, then the seat bottom is about 2 mm higher than the side control panels which looks odd when I look into the cockpit. I could modify the ResKit Seat to extend it by placing an extension just below the seatback, That plus mounting a little higher might work!

Desert Marlin AutorLots of little things to do! The Ammo/Mig Acrylic Glue is indispensable!

Desert Marlin AutorAdding the metal panels first. Then the green Antenna. Then the camo.

Desert Marlin AutorAll masking is done for the antenna. Now to paint the orange panels. This is done first to allow the lines to be made crisp for the panels. I have to freshen up the primer around the smaller antenna and the nose ring...

Desert Marlin AutorAll the overspray is cleaned up. Now I can do the orange panels! But first, I have to go to a Ukulele Festival!

Desert Marlin AutorIt seems Mr. Color is my favorite to airbrush since the loss of Model Master Paints. I miss my enamels, but the lacquers and Aqueous are fine substitutes!

Desert Marlin AutorThe Mr. Color C12 olive Drab seems to need a little more green color...
1 13 October, 21:51
Desert Marlin AutorThe lighter green (FS34102) seems to look more like the box art and the artwork on the instruction sheet... May not be perfectly accurate, but seems more appropriate to me.
1 15 October, 01:47
Desert Marlin AutorNow I need to paint the black borders on the orange panels...
2 15 October, 04:25
Desert Marlin AutorThanks Timmie! After drying overnight, the cured tone seems fare more accurate! It could be because of the under painting of the Olive Drab I (Mr. Color C12)...

Ludvík KružíkI hope it's not too late.
Very nice, I'll be watching 👀 and drawing inspiration for the construction of my MiG-21MF. 😉

Villiers de VosThe contrasts between the paint colours (day glo and camouflage) makes the aeroplane pop and pure eye candy.

Desert Marlin AutorYes. This is what made me buy it back in 2011. I think I went into the hobby shop three or four times before I finally bought it. It was just too interesting a scheme. Then I started looking at the other schemes and wondered where I was going to put three or four more… this one makes me happy that it's nearly done!

Desert Marlin AutorI have now applied about 150 little dinky microscopic decals... haven't spent this much time on decals since my F-4E and F-4C Hasegawa kits I did 25 years ago...
2 27 October, 23:20
Desert Marlin AutorOh, the panel numbers and "NO STEP" decals on the F-4 are the worst. I got good a picking them off the wet paper with the tip of an Xacto knife...

RandoSweet MiG! Looked like a walk in the park next to that F-15E. Excellent colors
1 30 October, 23:11
Desert Marlin AutorThanks very. much Rando!!! Absolutely easier than the F-15I. Still, the pitot tube is no easy trick...

Ludvík KružíkGreat result! The model looks very good with those orange areas. The orange color has enlivened the appearance and made the model more attractive. 👍

Desert Marlin AutorThanks mates! I am happy to have this one completed. ✔️
I'm glad it is an enjoyable result! Cheers!!! 🍻
