Hello guys!
After a problematic and troubled patch, with less desire (at present), I take again to build with joy and enthusiasm to set hands up on the poor Vector kit.
The fuselage has been corrected in dimensions and shape, referring to mig3sovietwarplanes drawings. With drawings and images collected on the web and, mainly, on scalemodels.ru, I drew the internal frame scheme that I will rebuild with Evergreen strips.
The cockpit profile has been recreated with milliput and a simple wooden/sandpaper tool.
The fuselage and some reference drawings:
The main wing has been corrected also. I cutted it in half and lengthen with plasticard. Inside the central part I set a pair of strong strips to set the corrected 5? dihedral:
The wheel bay, rounded shape, has been removed and by Autocad and Voronin?s drawings, I build a ?dima? (I do not know the correct translation for this word) with a cam shape, most corrected as shown on Voronin?s drawings. I will rebuild the wheel bay by thermoforming machine and the ?dima?:
The main wing and the wheel bay ?dima?:
Coming soon, as write below, I will rebuild the internal frame; I will made two ?dime? to thermoforming the internal and external part of the radiator; ailerons and their place. About that I have some doubts still now, because on various sources the measure are different.
I apologise for my English
Comments and suggest always well accepted.
Stay tuned!
