Мойн, Зафод, да,

именно так. И это чертовски весело для меня.
Если, как здесь с Грелжаком или Грабовским, можно рассчитывать на то, что конструкция хорошо продумана, то все отлично.

Начинайте клеить!

Quote from Wanni

Daher habe ich jetzt zuerst das Rumpfteil 26 ans Cockpit montiert:

Good job!

Maybe make the paint a shade lighter?

Not many private species.

Thank you.

I present a model of the front-line fighter MiG-23PD, publishing house "Cardboard Factory".

We can safely say about the model - it is not finalised. Many solutions are not shown in the manual. You constantly have to think about a few steps ahead. There are no markings on the parts that show that it is necessary to make a cutout. For high-quality assembly, you need to have two magazines in your hands.

Next is the tail section.

To be continued!

Greetings dear community!

Continued assembly with air intakes.

As you can see in the last photo, the part that closes the gap between the fuselage and the air intake is shorter by a few mm.

Later I will try to cut it out and glue it from spare parts.

Continued assembly with two sections between the cockpit and the center section.

All sections are ready. Glued the entire fuselage.

To be continued!

Greetings, dear community!

I decided to finish the section behind the cockpit. Mr. Mistevich has places where the thickness of additional elements is not taken into account. In this section - internal glazing braid + glazing film = skin did not match by 1-1.5 mm. I had to carefully tear everything off and sharpen the frame.

I missed the aircraft cannon in the instructions. I had to cut and glue it to the already finished body.

The most difficult central part of the entire fuselage.

In one place I slightly pressed the frame rib. Otherwise it would have been a 5, but it turned out to be a 3.

To be continued!

Greetings to the respected community!

Continued to assemble the fuselage sections. From the tail to the cockpit –

Brake shield niches and afterburner –

Everything assembled –

Greetings dear community!

Continued assembly with the pilot's seat. Tried it in the cockpit.

Later I got the idea to use 3D decals. Decal manufacturer, Quinta Studio. Here's what happened.

There will be a continuation!

Therefore, I started with the pilot's cabin.

I assembled it.

There will be a continuation!

Greetings dear community!

I am starting the model of the Lockheed F-104G "Starfighter", published by Kartonowa Kolekcia, issue 17. The "Starfighter", the first to reach a speed twice the speed of sound.

Welcome.

Started with the external fuel tank (PTB). To test the paper for bending. The second set of external fuel tanks, I will not glue yet. I plan to arm it with a pair of guided missiles, air-to-air class AIM-9B Sidewinder.

The instructions in the magazine are very compact and show a large number of parts on one sheet. On this sheet of instructions, almost 90% of the information is the cockpit of the pilot's cabin.

Hello!

Your work is very good.
If you use a template, then the angle of the blades of the propeller will be the same.

Good luck.

Очень хороший и аккуратный. :палец вверх:

Продолжение.

Continuation.

Continuation

Finished Su-11 "Fishpot-C", from Angraf.

About the model. In the magazine, the model is printed in two complete sets on different types of paper - coated and Whatman paper. I took sheets on Whatman paper (metallic). I had a magazine with ready-made cut-out parts.

During assembly, it turned out that the ready-made parts were smaller than necessary. The instructions are very unclear. The model itself is not difficult - "The tail was attached to the pipe, .." I think I successfully solved the puzzle with the chassis assembly. The size of the wheels is smaller than necessary in this scale. I took the missiles from another development, the author is Alexander Burdin. Ready-made ones, they are better. The canopy is homemade. The model turned out to be not small (53 cm), it was not ready.

Actually, I also have the model you mentioned, and I plan to start building it immediately after this project is completed.

For a new model, you can use ready-made 3D paper decals. As these.
