And yes, the Mig 19 was an interceptor. Early models were only gun equipped. Only the PM versions carried 4 radar guided missiles which were useless. Isaac

I see the problem on the nose: the petals extend from a very short section that will be very fragile. It would be better if they extended from the rear part, which also has an odd design...
So, almost two kits for the price of one. Not bad |

Regardless of the petal design, they are all bad in my opinion. Cones and cylinders are at least the better looking option if you want to stay in paper Isaac

Hello Isaac,
Will be very interested in this model. Have a Geli model (not build yet) with shiny metal finish, but I think that the GPM is more detailed. Shalom Mor |

If you really want to build the Geli model, consider scanning it and printing using ink jet printer. Isaac

Thanks Isaac,
Don't think that in the USSR Air Force, the aircraft were bare shiny metal. I have seen it in some privately owned aircraft, but you need to polish them all the time. Shalom Mor |

Petal nose- try 1
Since the nose of the aircraft is rounded all around, the designer chose a petal design for the nose.
Since I am not a fan of this method, I decided to make a test copy and build it to see how it looks before I sacrifice the kit parts. Here is a picture ( on the left ) of the actual nose and the kit parts ( on the right ) parts are cut and ready to assemble and the nose section being assembled the final test nose section done. For the paper purist, this is the final product. As for me, this will not do! more soon...... Isaac

So are you thinking fill/sand, vac forming, or solid wood for the nose?

Vacuform nose- Take 1, the mold
I decided to vacuform a whole new nose section that will emulate the real RADOM on the aircraft. It will attach to the cylindrical section that also houses the cockpit.
However, I need to make a plug first. My first option is to make a plug like I do for my canopies and use a plaster of Paris for the material. So.... I used the test piece and filled it with the plaster mix. oops, the paper could not handle the wet plaster because I did not re enforce the paper part and the whole thing collapsed. Oh, well, that was a good try. I will try something else to make the plug. Info soon Isaac
