Mig-15 bis/ Tamiya

Roland SachsenhoferI recently started two Mig-15 projects, one using the rather dated Tamiya kit, the other being build from Trumpeters more recent offer, which, as I have been informed, should build in a slightly more detailed and accurate represantation of that iconic fighter. I am going to build this bird as one of the camoflaged birds you see on the Cutting Edge sheet- maybe the nightfighter...

Albi HitzOh another interesting one. Are you go for a natural metal finish or an camouflaged one?

Roland SachsenhoferI am considering the night-fighter or "Red 03" for this one, Trumpeters version should be realized in natural metal finish.

Roland SachsenhoferFitting of parts is perfect- as you can see on the pictures: there is nothing filled or sanded by now. Because of that I am going to build up the representation of the jet engine: it seems to me as if Tamiyas Mig will be able to be displayed in a maintenance state as well as flight-ready.

Stefan FraundorferDie kleine Fagot gefällt mir sehr gut. Cockpit und Schleudersitz machen echt was her.

Roland SachsenhoferThank you Es-haq! I have finished sanding and cleaning up by now, so I can think about the preshading... this time "reversed" vor the black underside of the nightfighter.

Roland SachsenhoferSome mor pictures of this Tamiya-kit: the engine looked a little bit bare of details, so I used pictures of the original Nene and various wires and cables to improve this.

Roland SachsenhoferFuselage and engine parts are ready for the final paint-sessions; I will start with the nightfighters "black" underside, which will be preshaded with shades of brown. The "black" itself will consist of a mixture of Gunzes RLM 66, black and some parts of brown colour.

Roland SachsenhoferThank you for this friendly rating David! Recently I´m working on the final appearance of the Klimow- there will soon be pictures of the finished engine.

Roland SachsenhoferSome pictures of the fuselage and the engine, both just painted and, of course, not finished. Tomorrow I will remove the masking of the black underside- I am keen to see all three shades together....

David LengyelLove the camo. I wish I could have such airbrush skill. What is your setup, Roland?

Christian RistitsWow, das Triebwerk sieht Hammer aus! Natürlich auch der Rest...einfach nur Klasse!
Wow, the engine looks really good, of course also the rest of the build, really like it!

Christian MeyerhoffHallo Roland!
Das Ding habe ich vor Jahren auch mal gebaut. Ist ein sehr schöner Bausatz. In der Hand eines Meisters wie Dir wird das wie immer top!

Gordon SørensenI really like that camoflague scheme, great work, as usual, Roland!

Roland SachsenhoferHey guys! Thank you for your very kind comments! That is a very pleasing kit, never mind the year of it´s first edition. I am keen to make a comparison with Trumpeters Mig-15bis with my next build.
Christian: so ein dickes Lob färbt die meisterlichen Wangen rot... 🙂

Holger KranichJo mei, Roland, da hast Du ja wieder ein kleines Schmuckstück auf die Fahrwerksbeine gestellt!😄
29 April 2014, 13:15
Roland SachsenhoferMoin Holger! Auf dem Fahrwerk steht genau genommen noch nix... allerdings sind die Decals draufgekommen. Ihr seht hier die "Fagot" schön Klarlack-speckig, Verschmutzung und washing fehlt noch gänzlich- das folgt jetzt!
Decals have been applied, next time will see a thorough washing and some tear and wear.

Albi HitzWhaaa ... die sieht super aus! Einmal mehr: Eine top Leistung. Ich mag die "Tigerstreifen" sehr ...

Roland SachsenhoferThank you for this motivation, mates! Motivating indeed... to get this one through the finish line!

Roland SachsenhoferThank you both! The "Fagot" absolved it´s "maiden flight" today and is not on the workbench anymore...
Everything went together well- except the scratched gun barrels. It needed some hard work to get them fixed on the plastic in a firm and solid way.
After all I am happy that Tamiyas rather aged Fagot behaved quite well in my hands- and now I am curious about Trumpeters Mig-15...
Thank you for your interest!

Clifford KeeslerI have Trumpeters 1/32 scale Mig 15 for the price you can't go wrong. And I bought the Eduard Mig 15 detail set and photo etch cockpit detail set.

Roland SachsenhoferThanks everybody for these kind words! Clifford, I know that kit and, to be honest, did not dare to start it 🙂 Would love to see it built!

Roland SachsenhoferYour words make me glad, thank you very much! Cutting Edges "Korea" sheet and Tamiyas kit: two incredients for an rather easy nonetheless satisfying modeling experience...

Roland SachsenhoferYour words make my day happy, thank you both for words and interest!
