So this is the third attempt to finish this mig. It has been in my shelf of doom for a long time ...
Now I have a pilot with a seat from Aerobonus, because the kit seat and the cockpit just look horrible. Now I can also build an "inflight" version.

Very welcome Augie 🙂
At first I wanted to build a silver one, now it's going to be a Hungarian camo.

Konrad -
I remember that there where times one man said I don't like Pilots in my planes😉.
Mmhhh...
And now nearly every build from you starts with a pilot 😉!
Times are changing but the pilot looks great Roland!
Take a seat here as well and watching the show!

Thanks and welcome Konrad! 🙂
LOL Touché 😄
The Aerobonus seats just look great. And there is a pilot on it 😉
BTW: You have a good memory 👍

Welcome Nathan! Thank you 🙂
A kit from my „pile of shame". The bad thing is that the kit was a present. I've never been a big Mig fan, but as Konrad wrote correctly: preferences change.

Welcome Guy, Moritz and Daniel!
Tahnk you Guy. It really is that way. I don't like most of the pilots. But the Aerobonus look really, really good. Especially the seats.
Moritz, that was actually a year ago, 😄
Thanks Daniel! The pilot is busy. He had to adjust something to the right of the console. And he was looking for his corona test with his left hand😉

Thanks Giannis! Yes, you are right. It's a stencil from AK. There are several scales available. Also from Vallejo:

This came out of no-where.. Awesome looking cockpit and pilot. Following 👍
I've got a couple of these in the stash that I had been considering selling off and replacing with something from Eduard. What was the basic fit of the fuselage and wings like?

Many Thanks and welcome James! The kit fits together well. The only disadvantage of this Academy/Italeri kit is the lack of detail in the cockpit. The seat in particular is just plain smooth and even with the Eduard PE parts it looked terrible. That's why I bought the pilot on the seat. I cannot say whether the kit is accurat because I am not familiar with MIGs.

I call it done 🙂 I have to admit that it was a bit of a cheat because I started before GB 😄
