conversion from Hobby Boss MiG-3, 1/72 photos of model completed by Uwe Borchert |
|
I decided to build a MiG-1 model from the simplified but accurate HobbyBoss
MiG-3 kit.
I altered the length of the fuselage and the engine details as written
in the I-200 and MiG-1
chapter.
The kit has a bad cockpit area. For this
reason I cut off all things from the original kit cockpit and scratch built
a new one from plastic sheet. The canopy is home vacuformed.
My model has the shorter underbelly water radiator and the typical
landing gear doors. Besides, I made new wheels and exhaust pipes by resin.
The painting is from this profile.
