Title: Not a big Mig.
Post by: uncle les on September 29, 2016, 08:40:15 AM

Just for an evening's entertainment I thought I'd try one of those Eduard Bunny kits - and what's quicker than applying decals ?- hand painting a digital cam instead of course !

I might try a bifurcated intake 21 next....  when I do another 1/144 MiG that is.  :)

Damn, that's impressive paint work in any scale but in 1/144 it truly blows me away.

Those numbers on the fuselage look like an eye exam!
Impressive!!

Some people are genuinely insane - I think this qualifies ... but in a good way! :-\ :)

That fractal scheme done in such a small scale is simply mind-boggling!

Additionally, I have no idea how you managed to paint the inside of that canopy wihtout going blind!

Color me amazed, unca les!

No that I have a set of Les's fingerprints watch for all sorts of crimes to be committed on his behalf... ;)

Nice work mate - I envy your ability to work with the small scale and still do outstanding work.

Proof of steady hand, patience, ultra vision, good taste in models  :)
To do same in 1/72 would be an accomplishment !
