Hey Tony,
You will never make it as a sign painter, you couldn't paint a straight line if your life depended on it. LOL Looking good , can't wait to see it finished.
Later,

Hey Evel, are Russian colors flat or semi glossy?

Evil_Merlin

My Feedback: (13)

Both. I've seen flat, and I've seen semi-gloss. Usually anything with winter camo on it is flat. A few of the special paintjobs seem to be semi though...

Use this as a reference: http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/mig3...r/rusavia3.htm

I decided to go with the lustrecoat flat....has a lil gloss to it. I am just waiting for the stencils and yes I couldn't wait to let the pilot out....I am finding out that ny basementhas lousy lighting, I will need to do something about this in the future

Hi Ram-bro, It looks like you masked off the light blue underside color from the top colors. Is that the way the full size was painted? Thanks, Dan.

Ram-bro

My Feedback: (101)

Dan, probably not. I got tired of waiting for the paint to arrive so I painted with what I had. Usually you do light colors first and work your way into thedark colors. The paint covered well and I am not to disappointed. Moel masters is not to bad of paint to use. I think I am up to about 12 half ounce bottles and maybe 2 cans of lustre coat flat clear. Hopefully this answers your question.

So Rambro, you gonna get this bad boy test flown before the WOTR? I will be there on Friday if you need any help. I can give you some tips about the field that may help with your success. Also, if you are comfortable, we can fly some formation. I will be camped there all weekend and when we are done, I'll share a cold one with you by my fire! We can talk Warbirds. Keep after it!!

Vert G. It will be close. Hopefully I can still make it out there. If I can, I will bring some "Go Big Red" beer and a couple of back up planes just in case this isnt ready..... 2 mig s in formatio would be an unusual site......

Hi All,

Like everyone else I can't weight to see the flight report/vid as I am contemplating building one myself. However I have a question for the masses, has anyone converted one to electric? What sort of motor/esc/batt setup would be required?

Ram-bro,

I might of missed it but have you got an all up weight for this beast? and are you considering making any more header covers?

Cheers,

Chilli

Hey Tony,
Don't worry it should fly great!!! All my planes do, although that paint scheme is enough to make you sick. Looking forward to the flight report.

Dang Fred, I cant tell the diffrence between you being sick and that accent of yours....all sounds the same. , Thanks guys, I am waiting for that 1st flight also

Evil_Merlin

My Feedback: (13)

I would hate to see the cost of converting a 1/4 scale warbird into electric.

A 50cc engine is barely enough power for this bird... I hate to see the cost of an electric conversion, let alone the weight of the electric upgrade.

Me to Bill will be interestn with El motor

Ram Bro , We wait for the video from the first fly . I wish you sucsses in the first fly .The airplane is VERY ,VERY beautiful,great work

Ram-bro

My Feedback: (101)

Chilli, the bird weighs about 30lbs dry. Electric conversion could be expensive to say the least. I do have molds made of the header covers if you would like a set made.........Is yours the Roamin Research bird? Fokke, thanks for the kind words, how is yours coming and when will we see yours fly?

fokke

Very soon Ram Bro , now I finish the molds ,but maybe you know ,now I make molde for the smoller Mig 3 ...... 1/9 scale ......
