1/72 Hobby boss Mig 3 oil radiator error

[BLG]

Hi everybody.


I have recently built several  Mig 3

It's only when I posted this picture



that I realized that the Hobbyboss oil cooler on the right side had a wrong shape

I have corrected it, on this one




 and the nine other.

Some exemples



The left side may also be (more easily) corrected

Hi Bernard,
thank you for the warning, I've informed a friend that is building the same kit.

Great job on fixing the air intake for the right oil cooler,  Bernard.
Good spotting that they were different in shape. They were like that because of the direction of the propeller spin and the subsequent air flow created by it.

That's a really interesting camo on that first MiG. Do you have more photos of this plane?

Hi Anton,
Yhank you for you appreciation.
There is a link in my post to go to the french forum where the building and the pictures of these thirteen  I-200 , Mig1, Mig 3 and I-210 are posted.

Once again:  Mig 3

Hi Bernard.  That's an excellent page! I loved looking through it and seeing those models. I think the first time I went there I didn't realise that I could scroll down that far to see all those awesome models/photos. They are very well interpreted paint schemes in my opinion.

 I had my eye set on some of these paint schemes for a while too, no doubt I'll also make scale models using some of these schemes,  or will try to draw profiles of them (probably profiles first!).  Your page helps with the inspiration:). Thanks for sharing it.
