Clearly, the comparison with the workshop equipment built by Gary in its diorama is intimidating, at any rate that's mine: The engine looks really good. We used to have parking bases which were just stands for spare engines that were simpler and cheaper than the workshop stands. It looks great too.

Danstream Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share #92 Posted December 28, 2021 @king derelict thanks for your clarification about the stand. I am glad that you find it adequately reproducing something realistic, I will pose it next to the aircraft. Best regards, Dan.

Danstream Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share #93 Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Hi all, being domestic commitments for the festivities over, these are the really last pictures of the last missing bits. The engine was completed and put on its finished stand: Clearly, there is no claim for accuracy, being the added wiring and tubing is just an over simplification and its purpose was just to convey the impression of the real thing. Finally, the wire aerial, although it is barely visible in this picture: Next, canopy and final pictures. Thanks for following, Dan.

Danstream Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share #95 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Mikoyan-Gurevich MIG 15 Bis Red 40 - Nikolay Shkodin, 1953 (Trumpeter 1:48) Hereinafter the pictures of my completed model of this Soviet fighter. The build presented few fitting issues, but at the end I am pleased with the result. I chose not to install the jet engine inside the rear fuselage and to display it next to the aircraft. I used aftermarket seatbelt, instrument panel and resin main wheels for increased detailing. The Jet engine Klimov-vk1 is fairly reproduced for this scale and, as said, I display it on a scratch build static stand. The model was finished with Tamiya acrylic colors mixes and Vallejo metallic for the metallic finished parts. I tried the camouflage bands by spraying them free-hand to obtain feathered demarcations. However, perhaps the effect that I obtained is a bit out of scale. I obtained the 2 x 23 mm gun muzzles by aluminium tubes, while the muzzle of the 37 mm cannon is an Eduard replacement. I modified the oversimplified pilot seat to better reproduce the type used at the time of this aircraft. The panel lines were obtained by oil colors washes. Other small stains were made with watercolor pencils. I found this aircraft rather interesting to build and I hope you like my final pictures. The complete build log is reported in the above pages. I would like to thanks all those that followed my long build and especially those that have provided comments and suggestions.

lmagna Posted January 3, 2022 Share #97 Posted January 3, 2022 Very nicely done Dan, I enjoyed following all of the way. Not too many model aircraft stables even have this plane in them for some reason. I was able to watch a real one practicing for an airshow a few years ago. While not nearly as fast as the new stuff it was still pretty impressive. This was enhanced by the apparent need to kick in the afterburner for each evolution performed.

popeye the sailor Posted January 7, 2022 Share #106 Posted January 7, 2022 I think you've built an outstanding model Dan.....the camo looks great just the way it is! very nice job on the engine as well.......it's very seldom you see a display pairing like this. then again, there aren't too many kits that have the engine, unless they are large scale kits. Soviet or Japanese planes are not commonly modeled....I've not done any. first class model my friend Old Collingwood, Canute, Danstream and 4 others 6 1 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Danstream Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share #107 Posted January 8, 2022 @Old Collingwood, thanks for your note, I know little about Soviet planes (I did some readings within the frame of this build) but as you said, it looks the part sufficiently also in my view. @popeye the sailor, thank you Denis very much for your super kind words, happy that you find the camo style appropriate!

Actually, the engine lacks some important details, but it was fun to work with and it gave me the opportunity to try some new things with the metallic acrylic. 2 hours ago, FriedClams said: Congratulations Dan on a fine model. Beautiful work on the color rendering - I particularly like the underside oil washing. Very nice. Thanks Gary, I am glad you like the result. The underside turned out OK thanks to the oil washing and also to the marbling pre-shading, It was nice to try these techniques that make uniform surfaces more interesting.
