I do my best not to shart when I'm folding

Great build Chris and i may have to look into this paper :D

I meant sharp... :(

Hah! No there is no more fuzz than standard card, maybe even a little less. I use a ball stylus for scoring my creases so there is sometimes a slightly messier edge than with a partial cut score, but its easier to maintain consistent results. I'll get a good closeup of the leading edges and post them up later this weekend.

Got the details done and here are the final shots. This repaint will be made available on Ecardmodels.com in the next few days.

It's a mean looking bird up close, huh?

This shot really shows the shine of the paper:

And finally, with its US adversary:

The build is really quick but certainly with great results! Gratz on completion

Excellent work, I also am a fan of MiG-15 - Mi - the F-86 is a model from Marek or is Kampfliegger, congratulations on your work.

**Sidewinder81777** · #17 05-17-2012, 10:09 AM

The F-86 is from Kampfliegger

Thanks for the info Sidewinder.

That came out really nice. Clean and smooth. Great job.

Thanks guys, yes it is a quick build but packs a fair amount of detail, much like most of the early Mareks. It could stand for additional detail in the wheels, landing gear bays, and of course a cockpit, but otherwise, its pretty much all there. One of the tricks I find with this type of fuselage construction is to burnish the joints between segments after they're good and dry. It levels out the rough edges at the segments and really smooths the whole fuselage.

Nice work on your MiG, Rapidtox - that's the one I used as a base for this and another repaint already on Ecardmodels. Yes, the Sabre is from der Kampfflieger, specifically Mig Mad Marine flown by John Glenn. Here's the build thread, with links to the ECardmodels.com Shop kit page:
