Adults only Trumpeter Mig-3
« on: November 25, 2017, 11:06:41 AM »
Hi all

Here's my rather adequate attempt at a nude Mig-3 (I've seen much better). Straight out of the box - only thing not in the box were the German wood grain decals (same ones I used on the Dragonfly). No resin and no modifications (I couldn't be bothered really). No lighting and no detailing. Just a nice shake and bake kit build - something I haven't done in years. And I liked it!















Well, that's all I have. I'm happy enough with how it came out. The decals were a PITA to work with though - not very strong and tear very easily.

As always - thanks for stopping in and having a look

That's some wonderful wood grain you've got there. Captures the look perfectly!
