ClareWentzel Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Very nice Greg. What kit and scale? I really like the shading of panel lines and the way the camo colors flow together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I'll "DITTO" Clare's post! Any thoughts on how the Trumpy Mig-15 compares to Tamiya one? That's a good looking Faggot! (Maybe that's the first time I've said that in public.......and maybe not!) GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thats a cool looking mig! Very nice finish, what tecnique and paints did you use? B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregWise Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Clare- it's the trumpeter 1/48 kit. Gil- The trumpeter kit has a few deficiencies in kit design while the tamiya has it's problems in accuracy. I chose to delete alot of the problems by not useing all the 'extras' included in the kit. That said I wish I would have went with an aftermarket pit. Dude-I used the base and layer style painting and Gunze Hobby Color paints. Thanks Guys- Greg.

Weedeater Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Another awesome great job Greg. This looks fantastic. Thanks for posting these pics. Model on, Brother of the SPrue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamsof51 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 This looks awesome. I really like the shot taken on the sectional map. I may have to borrow that for a review. The Mig 15 really looks like a fighter to me. All business without the frills. Typically Russian. Thanks for sharing. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aAzZ09 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice going! Migs have always had such a sinister look and you have captured that effect very well. Happy Modeling, Mark (alias aAzZ09) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris ... well the map maybe cool (I thought so too) but it altered the coloring of the mig and also made it hard for the camera to focus in on the mig. Then again I used a old Kodak Z740 I also shot pics with a white backdrop and it made the mig look way to dark while the blue backdrop seems to offer the best photos in terms of what the subject really looks like.

I go through the same process when I shoot review models. I have a Nikon D70 so bad pictures are almost always caused by the photographer. It is interesting how the background can alter the subject. For this reason, I enjoy building the model and writing the review but hate photographing it. By the way, bare metal finishes really pop against a blue background.

GregWise Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) nice. makes me begin to love this plane. by the way, the painting is kina special. is it from the soviet union air force? china used this plane too from 1950 to maybe 1986. i built one when i was in middle school, not painting no nothing at that time. :) I'm glad you like the Mig. I used the kit scheme and decals the information they provide on this Mig reads- Soviet Air Force , Korea 1953. :) This MiG-15 with five kill markings in the form of red stars was flown by Maj. Nikolay Shkodin, who flew with the 147 GIAP in 1953. Edited November 14, 2009 by GregWise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
