Thank You Lou and Paul.

I've cleaned it up a bit and given everything a second coat of primer.

Next is the inlet and outlet.

Nothing glued yet.

Can I have a photo with the vertical fin removed? Would like to see how you mated the parts.

Disassembled.

The pin holes in the wing are for the location of the fences and ailerons. The ones in the fin are for location of the stabilizer. The single pin hole indicates the forward location of stabilizer.

Cheers

 Nice work with the mortise and tenon along with the half-lap joint for the vertical fin.  Should be a very durable structure!

Starting to finish this off. Changed my mind on finish. Found one on WingsPallette for a Soviet Aerobatic Display team.

What's a Mig without Red on it.

Pictures to follow

Managed to get the guns and wing fences installed yesterday. Bit of quality control on the inlet and that should be it.

Decals printed and experimenting with "touching" up before application as per Lou's latest.

Pictures to follow .

Beautiful paint scheme Gordon. It will fit in the aerobatic cook up if it is what I think it is. # 45?

Mig- 15 finished. Found some Mig-15's  in   Soviet Aerobatic display team colours on Google and Wingspallette.

I've left off the pitot and the jet pipe.

It is a very colorful MIG. I also like the intake detail. Did you add the bifurcation to the inlet after carving?

Thank you Lou, Paul and Fraser.

I enjoyed this it seemed to go together without to much mucking around.

The inlet was done with a sharpened brass tube to the depth I wanted . Marked the outline of the the bifurcation in the front. A bit of supa glue top and bottom . Roughly gouged out and the did the fine work with a rotary tool. The Brass tube gives a clean edge.

Cheers

Gordon
