Well looked what showed up today. Hoorah!   Onward and upward. 

[Clunkmeister]

We’re off again..  this’ll be decent.  A few gaps to fill.....

[Martinnfb]

Yes, it required a bit of corrective work. Nothing too crazy though.

And now BOTH elevators requires steel rods to reattach them.  Very, very uncool

I'm guessing the stock attachment was a plastic pin?

Yup. The first one lasted a few days, the send lasted a couple weeks.

Seems we have some very pesky join lines. Time to break out the board sander.

[Landlubber Mike]

Nice work Ernie.  That camo scheme looks really sweet!

Ernie, in case you haven't noticed, there is the wrong manual lying under your bird. Will this become a FokMug in the end? 

Cheers Rob

[Martinnfb]

Could that justify the fitment problem  ?😈 Talking about instructions, the actuator arms of the main landing gear legs are reversed.

A Mukker?

[Clunkmeister]

Moving right along, just endless gap filling and rescribing stuff. She’s looking better and I’m starting to think about the first color coat

Ernie

Still catching up and spending oodles of time in the GB forum.

Awesome work, simply awesome. There were a few times I nearly fell off the chair and am thoroughly enjoying your "Buddy Build" with Martin"

Keep 'em comin

Peter

 

[Clunkmeister]

Will it ever end? This thing is looking some kind of hideous!!!  But I assume there’s a method to all this madness. 

[Martinnfb]

Hard core, but you're almost there.

[Peterpools]

Ernie

But all the madness is driving you to cross the finish line and the MIg does look mighty good.

Keep 'em comin

Peter

[Clunkmeister]

Well, big milestone and great success tonight. Some touch ups to do, and a bit of clean up, but the first big step was by far the most nerve wracking, and it turned out ok.

 

[DocRob]

Wow, my eyes are hurting from looking at your Mig Ernie, but that's a good sign, as the camo came out great. 

Cheers Rob

[Martinnfb]

My eyes were hurting before I looked at Ernie’s Mug and then they stoped hurting. Must be a good sign

 

[Clunkmeister]

Much fun happening. 

[Martinnfb]

Amazing, how do you like Akan paint ?

Thanks Martin, but honestly I’m not a fan of the Akan stuff.  It’s OK I suppose, but next time I think I’ll go back to Gunze.  Airbrush settings are all different with this and it seems to prefer much more thinning to keep it from being grainy.

[GusMac]

Looks great Ernie. Really like the emblem on the rear spine.
