| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 27-Jul-07 21:04 |  | | Views : 605 | | The tail assembly was taped together for a look see. The tail of the submarine was amputated from the fuselage and attached to the rudder as per the real Mig |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 26-Jul-07 23:45 |  | | Views : 600 | | The workers worked a bit of overtime to get the tail completed today. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 26-Jul-07 17:29 |  | | Views : 616 | | I love biluding with bass wood. The "boys" install the right horizontal stabalizer. For my none flying planes I think bass wood's strength and close grain will finish easier and better than balsa. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 25-Jul-07 22:09 |  | | Views : 612 | | The vert stab still needs some shaping but at least they installed it. The "wuffy" says that now the Mig looks like a whale! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Parked | 24-Jul-07 21:18 |  | | Views : 625 | | Simple tab hinges will let the surfaces move but give us a shadow line detail. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 24-Jul-07 21:15 |  | | Views : 595 | | For me building moving control surfaces is easier that painting, inking, or scratching them. The boys redesigned the internals of the elevators and rudder and cut them free.Final shaping and installation remains. |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 23-Jul-07 19:39 |  | | Views : 671 | | Niki and Sasha try the left stabilizer for fit. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 23-Jul-07 19:37 |  | | Views : 602 | | They changed the shape of the Al rear canopy, built the vert stab, and covered the tops of the horizon stabs. Productive day. They are getting their work rythym! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 22-Jul-07 19:33 |  | | Views : 641 | | We had to rip out the yoke over the seat and rebuild it to accomodate the sliding canopy. Worked a bit on theAl around the pit. Indented area will hold the gunsight. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 22-Jul-07 15:01 |  | | Views : 674 | | They started the canopy. Scratch building and detailing a plane from plans printed in 1942 is quite a challenge! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 20-Jul-07 20:57 |  | | Views : 682 | | Sasha works a bit of "over time" filing the seams on the completed bass wood rear fuselage, tomorrow yard work, Sunday rudder! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 20-Jul-07 17:32 |  | | Views : 682 | | 65 hours from the start, we have a fuselage skinned in aluminum and 1/32 basswood and the start of the horizontal stabilizer. |
