MiGina The Second

[sotoolslinger]

Well heck this is just typical I just found out this morning that this GB had been extended .I got the point of installing the Gina nose on the MiG when my company called I have to be in Fresno, Cali.Monday am So here is where she sets at this point


If I have time I plan on finishing it like this

But the backstory will be that Texas aquires them from Venezuela in exchance for future fighter developments so it will have RoT markings

This should be interesting.  I'm curious to see how you get these fuselages to match up.

This WILL be interesting and be careful with the knee

[sotoolslinger]

Yep I will be interested to see how I do that too But heck I made a Typhoon nose fit on a Hellcat
I will be careful with the knee .It's far from 100% but I should just be pointing at stuff and giving directions

Well, just tell 'em no! Sheesh, I don't know why I always have to come up with these ideas.

I can see a lot of putty in your future, that step is vicious.

And get rid of those ciggies, they'll stunt your growth. Stunted mine but I won't tell you where...

Eeek! Competition! 

Like everybody else, I want to see how you're going to blend these two: looking at the profile, I'd have said the Migina 2 just had the G.91 nose cone stuck straight onto the MiG intake and the canopies swapped, but hey, it's your fecking model, right? 

[pyro-manic]

I see a socking great cannon muzzle sticking out of that gap.....

[Brian da Basher]

If I had to match that nose with that fuse, what I'd do is cut the intake off the Gina nose and just let the bottom of the fuse act as the intake. In that shot it looks like the rest of the Gina nose would match up better that way.

Your mileage may vary...

Well the gina cockpit sets much farther forward than the MiG's .It looks to me that Arc's profile has the cockpit moved forward so that is what I was going for

[John Howling Mouse]

Heh, heh, heh: PSR to infinityyyyyyyy!!!!

[Sauragnmon]

Geez, if I had gaps like that, I'd break out the bondo.  Fill the gaps, blend the curve on the nose into a single smooth bump, smooth it to the fuselage, sand, cut the lines, drill the gunports.  Hell, I did similar work on the Kiev II, had to square off and fill out a section of the bridge deck so I could mount the Kashtan.  My bondo and I have become well acquainted since I started work on the Udaloy II project.  I had to rebuild part of the aft superstructure, and we've worked together on a few other small gap filling spots.

[sotoolslinger]

I fear no putty

[Sauragnmon]

A wise modeller fears no putty, instead he practices zen and is one with the putty.  You've got a little bit of work ahead of you to smooth that join out, but it should be quite impressive when she's smoothed out and finished.  I look forward to seeing it.

[Weaver]

Oh I frequently become one with the putty...............






(and the glue, and the tape, and the paint, and the craft knife blades, and the drill bits................. )

[Sauragnmon]

Yeah, I know that feeling, Weaver.
