discussion Geoff’s 1/48 Trumpeter MiG-3 (Neil’s MiGs blooming everywhere GB)

[Geoffers]

Hello,

Here’s my completed entry to this cracking GB. Thank you Neil for proposing and hosting it I really enjoyed it

It was my first ever MiG and Trumpeter build.
I was quite impressed with the kit, it went together well and was nicely detailed. The only down side were the decals which were a little bit translucent

It was jazzed up a bit with an Eduard PE set and I replaced the solid gun barrels with cut lengths of a hypodermic syringe.

Anyway enough waffle here are the pictures.












Thanks for looking

Geoff.

A lovely result Geoff. The shape of the MiG-3 suits that scheme with the yellow nose. Like you, I experienced my first Trumpeter kit during this GB, and was pleasantly surprised.

Very very nice turnout
I especially like the minimal weathering, with the little exhaust streak down the side

Crackin'!

Thanks Joe

From reviews I’ve seen Trumpeter are generally well detailed and go together ok but can be a bit inaccurate. I don’t know how accurate this MiG is but it looks good and I enjoyed building it so I suppose that’s all that matters really
