discussion Geoffs Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-3

[Geoffers]

Firstly thank you to Neil for hosting this group build.

This will be my entry, I collected it from the Post Office this afternoon.



This will be my first ever Trumpeter kit build so I’m interested to see how it goes together.

It looks nicely detailed and I have bought an Eduard PE set mainly for the seat belts and a mask set which makes masking so much easier.

Here’s the plastic parts.


Clear parts look quite nice.


Instructions.


Paint guide


Transfers.


Extras.


That’s it then, I might start it next week depending on progress with my other builds.

Thanks for looking

Geoff.

Excellent choice, sir. Which paint scheme were you thinking of?

Excellent choice, sir. Which paint scheme were you thinking of?

Cheers Chris, I’m going for the third scheme “white 5”. I quite like the yellow spinner . Trumpeter don’t give any information regarding the schemes but I’ve done a bit of digging and I think was apparently a flown by Soviet ace Alexander Pokryshkin.

Good to see a Prop version of a Mig too, looking forward to this,

Thanks Neil

Great choice Geoff

Cheers Steve
