We're flying high / We're flying right up to the sky...

Still looks great, but looking again you might want to strengthen the highlight where the tail transitions into the fuselage.

Oh, do you mean smth. like that? I also added couple more highlights:

Are you going to do the 3rd in the series Anton?

Well, it is 3rd: "White 1" in the first post, "White 17" and this, "Red 65".

Ok. I should've checked first.

Whats next?

Ok. I should've checked first.

Since the image from the 1st post is absent due to imageshack problems I had recently, I'm uploading "White 1" here (+ reworked highlights):



What's next? Well, I plan to make some original war-weathered MiGs... I hope you'll like 'em too...

MIG 3 was very beautifully machine. Especially look and very interesting place of cockpit. Your profiles are very nice.

A moment of truth: a white colored (winter scheme) profile on a white background...
This one is famous "Red 02" of 120 IAP, as photoed on March 7, 1942, when the 120th IAP of Moscow Air Defence was was made Guards as the 12th Gv.IAP:



Note the simplified rocket launching system under wings. Special thanks go to Massimo Tessitori for his great research work and fine website dedicated to Soviet VVS ww2 planes.

Looks very nice! Good job!

[GiantFlyingRobots]

It looks fantastic!

A couple of (very) minor things, if I might.

Maybe just a little more shape on the bottom of the front cowl?

A little more separation between the canopy and the fuselage, right now its not obvious that it slides back.

And one final incredibly trivial nit pick, the green paint on the upper wing panels doesnt appear to extend all the way to the wing fairing in the image provided. Assuming it is the same on both sides.

I really like these Mangas! Especially the uneven gloss of the paint finish! Just like real!!!

[Mangas]

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I agree with 1st two, but I really didn't understand what you meant with the last comment... The green paint covered like 3/5 of the wings area... The problem is that it's almost unseen on the profile due to the wings form... So I made this image as if the wing console is transparent to understand... Look at the overlayed green paint, it's the actual area that is covered with paint on top:

[GiantFlyingRobots]

Fair enough.

Ive taken another closer look.

Forgive me if I'm out of turn for doing this, but this is the way that I see it.

Bear in mind that I know next to nothing about VVS types, and havent done any research other that looking at the images in this thread.

I just wonder if the fairing as you have drawn it is a little large.

The green overlay makes it look like the paint goes to the edge of the fairing, when it clearly doesn't. Consider my whiteish additions as NMF. Or not.

Again, no expert, just trying to be helpful.
