Happy Veterans Day all! Hope some of you got some good flying in this weekend and today 😃. I was able to do a lot of building in the past few days and I’ve got the MiG mostly built! Yeah! 🤘It was a long process between watching and rewatching parts of the build video and really trying to be accurate with cuts and gluing. But when the top hatch slides on and you’ve got your first glimpse of the final product it’s such a satisfying feeling and you can take lots of pride in the hours put into the build. 😎
I stuck with the plans for the most part. I did add a two reinforcement bulkheads in the rear fuselage and because of the wing not quite matching in the rear I did cut a little of the bottom plate to accept the shape.
I also tried some foam/project primer for the first time. You can see that light grey finish at the end. I’m excited to see what it does for the paint job at the end. So far it seems like a good base, especially for where there is tape showing under the wing. It does really highlight where all the glue bits and imperfections are😕 so a bit more prep work before I start the final paint work.
