Well done cockpit!
Even if it should go fast, it still looks good 😁

This is incredible work - the cockpit is particularly inspiring. Would you recommend this kit or the ICM kit?

Chan Li
Thanks Robin, appreciate your comments, I'm not satisfied with the plane yet, will try some new idea later.

Ugh hey coolandnormal (fun name huh), maybe the cockpit is alright, but the plane itself is not yet good enough at the current stage.
I've seen this and zvezda in person, I can tell this one is better than zvezda, because zvezda doesn't have any rivets, which makes the plane boring.
In my area it's hard to buy an ICM kit, normally they could be way overpriced, as this result I'm not able to offer any regarding information.

This kit is typically trumpeter - good in something and yet suck in something.
Anyway, I think most of us can overcome those imperfections, and the decals are very good in quality.
Besides, the sorts of weapons are more than enough.

Smooth pre- shading, comrade, yep 👍

Looks more than good to me👍. I did the 48 AMK one and that's huuuuge😄

Chan Li
Oh Alessandro, I still remember your build…
It was classic, I like it as everyone else does 😎
Bet it's huge, mine is already too big, and there are still too many weapons to paint…

alessandro magrelli
Yes, the R-33 in particular are a nightmare 😁

Łukasz Gliński
Nice build, following 👍

Those interceptor-MiGs are some huge planes, indeed! Great work on shading the grey camo 👍 Can´t wait to see what additional visiual interest will be brought in by all the missiles/fuelpods/sensors etc.

Chan Li
Hey, thanks Lukasz and Tom, yes this one took me long time… really is a challenge for me 🤔

Alexey Antipin
Wrong colour, I afraid. MiG-31 cockpits are emerald green
8 March 2023, 16:37
Chan Li
Oh Alexey, I'm afraid you're right, I just followed the trumpeters manual instead of doing research.
I think it's emerald or like, according to my experience.
Thanks man 😁

Panel lines are looking great 👍
It´s almost unbelievable how a pin wash changes the overall impression.

Thanks Simon 😁

Harvey H.W.
Good progress (b) How about the fitting?
17 March 2023, 01:00

Haha, typical…
Very trumpeter 😅

Well it looks great. Although the build wasn't the best you did a good job saving it!!!

Chan Li
Thanks Vincent and Roland, I got lazy lately, but I'm happy it's done. 😎

alessandro magrelli
Very good job and nice touch with those external tanks which are hardly seen around 👍👍
29 March 2023, 15:32
Chan Li
Thanks Alessandro, I don't know… I'm not hundred percent satisfied with it though.
I still like yours more.
29 March 2023, 15:37
Guy Rump
Very impressive build. 👍

OOOH- what a beautiful finish on this oversized Russian bird!
I think I have already expressed my admiration to you and nothing has changed.
In my opinion, your weathering has hit the spot.
I particularly like the black and rear areas, well implemented.
Keep it up, I want to see more of you in the future 😂👍

Łukasz Gliński
That is really dirty 👍 The droptanks make it look more serious indeed 👍

Harald Besold
Great model! ... and a perfect weathering. Impressive!

Hi Lukasz, it is dirty.... as for a Russian jet. Well, a little bit exaggerated. ~ ^_^

Hey Harald, thanks. This plane wasn't easy for me, I'm happy it's done now.

❤️❤️❤️. Amazing job on the weathering!

Chan Li
Thanks Capt, the plane was too big, I was really really exhausted when doing the weathering 😅.

Very nicely done, weathering and detailing very well done very realistic model 👍🏻

Mr James
Agree with everyone else on the paint and weathering. Really nice work
2 June 2023, 16:34

Thanks David and James, though I think it still lacks something.
But I really really appreciated your encouragements!

Album info

Start to build a MIG-31B for a friend.
Never thought this plane could be this so big…
Again I'm lazy and only want to use parts in the kit, it is also a fun to dig out the best of a kit, right?
