MiG-8 Duck -- "Darkwing Duck"

[Tophe]

Nice unusual silhouette!

You should pic up a couple of these and put your artistic flair on them !

Thanks! (yes, when the model is finished, a MiG-8Z zwilling may appear on my computer then here...)

Far out!!   Cool.... I'll be sure to have this in mind when I set my angles for picture taking.

I'll be sure to have this in mind when I set my angles for picture taking. 

The more easy will/would be a picture from above or from front or slanting view at far distance (for not too much conical effect). 3 possibilities for an easy zwilling process... thanks to include one of them in your final collection.

[TheChronicOne]

Understood! We'll make it happen.

Inching toward paint.... still. 

I decided to go ahead and put the vertical stabilizers on now rather than later so that added some time but the rest of it all is ill-fitting and eating up time, too. In fact, to get those fins on, I had to yet again break out the heavy files and get into whittling down the parts to get them to actually fit. Goodness, it's as if there were completely different sets of people responsible for making individual parts or something. Like.... damn, dude, nothing fits. lmao     I don't care, though, it's such a neat subject and since it's so small it's not an overly taxing thing to do but... still..  the tolerances of parts that are supposedly designed to go together are laughable.

ANYWAY.... this is where we're at:

[Tophe]

Good! (especially if it was uneasy to build)

[zenrat]

Looks good Brad C.  Definitely "ducky".

[PR19_Kit]

A very interesting looking 'device'. 

I hesitate to call it an aeroplane, it's just SO bizarre!

[Old Wombat]

This thing looks like a student prank that made it into production.

[NARSES2]

Definitely "ducky".

Very much so

[TheChronicOne]

 


Totally with y'all. It's quite the ODD DUCK.

It's now slightly more interesting as I have the main gear on finally and she is ready for paint. The only things not on are the windows, pitot tube, nose gear, prop, and spinner.

[Tophe]

Good revival!
(This thread had disappeared from the first page, and I was sad this model may have been given up)

[TheChronicOne]

No worries my friend! I am moving slowly but it's for enjoyable reasons this time and not bad ones.     Definitely not going to let this one languish for long; she's on track.

Nice Build, this one is unique aircraft 

[TheChronicOne]

Thank you!!

Yes, I am happy to build such an interesting subject. I'm glad Avis/Amodel make these types of things. They are challenging to build but being such interesting aircraft the time spent is paid back with the fun of building them.
