Mig-Ye8 Model Kom in 1/33

[Isaac]

Here it is assembled. Not much to say




dry fit.




The cockpit edges and other areas around were one of the goof locations for me.

I already purchased the canopy for this model,



but decided to make a copy for a mold in case it was needed.



Here is the canopy framed and installed.




Note:
This is a bad fitting canopy on this model since it was shorts on the sides and did not conform around the windshield. The issue is really the frames which are too short. I had to add small strips all around to close the gaps ( not one of my better jobs; apologies ).

Some small fences, bulges, pitot tube, actuators...

The model is done





Impressions:
I already pointed out the many shortcoming of this model.

however....
this is a very unique aircraft and the model is mostly accurate. The instruction figures are not completely clear and prone to errors during the build.

I would recommend it only to experienced builders.

This is a good addition to my experimental jet fleet.
