Mig-37SMT - Finished!! (pics pg6)

[NARSES2]

This is really starting to come together

Excellent work. You have really transformed the base kit into something completely different. 

Can't wait to see the finished product.

The canard layout is really a cool twist. Looks great!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!   

Now if I can just finish it before the deadline.  I can't wait to glue something together so it starts looking like a plane instead of a pile of parts.

The canard layout is really a cool twist.

That happened serendipitous.   I have a Su-34 in the parts bin and decided to see how the 37 would look with the su-34 canards.  Turns it out is was a lot better than what I had planned so I ran with it.

Bit late now but I can't help thinking I would have moved the intakes further back.

Wow, this is a cracking piece of work, loving what you have done to the Ferret, and I will be looking at this for inspiration for one of mine.

Yay!  I finally got something done!  It's been awesome watching everyone else's progress but I have to say it's nice to be moving forward again.

I got the vacu-formed bottom glued to the top.  Added the modded vertical stabilizers and have it mostly filled and sanded.



I was going to have the Mig-37 armed with r-73's but I changed my mind and decided to use r-77m's.  Unfortunately I didn't have any in the stash. So I kitbashed some from some r-27's I did have.



And here's the pilot.  I'm not too great at painting pilots but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Gob smacking job you're doing! Love the longer fuselage!

It just fits the ferret's nose and tail better. Love it!

So you're not good at painting pilots, eh? Could have fooled me, he looks right at home in there. 

[DogfighterZen]

Very nice work, love the new tails and the pilot looks very good!

[jalles]

Thanks for the kind words guys!   

Another quick update, I finally got the main wings on.  Unfortunately while doing that I found out there's a one or two degree twist in the fuselage from front to back 

Well there's not much I can do about that now, hopefully it won't be too noticeable once it's all done.

  Unfortunately while doing that I found out there's a one or two degree twist in the fuselage from front to back 

But we can't see that.......... 

[The Wooksta!]

Is there a twist?

[zenrat]

I find that careful final photograph selection can do wonders for correcting things like that.

[63cpe]

I don't see anything wrong in the fuselage.....can't see any twist (nor shout). But do like the layout! Very original & very refreshing! I guess that compensates the twist of the fuselage twice...

As a matter of fact I think I make an error like that in every whif I make...But don't mind about it....
