| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 30-Jun-07 20:54 |  | | Views : 680 | | Gentlemen remember me? We are 40 hours into the scratch built Mig-3. My Boss says that now the "fun work" of detailing the fuselage will begin. This is a modified Mig published by E Sthal in 1943. Larger scale, bass, not balsa. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 19-Jun-07 19:28 |  | | Views : 654 | | Don't think I will add extra wood as we plan on covering it with aluminum (front) and wood (rear), just like the original. Now I can construct and detail the cockpit while the "Boys" build the tail and wings! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 19-Jun-07 19:25 |  | | Views : 654 | | Boris and Yegor remove the clamps. Building two sides at once worked. I reved the plans thru the computer. When the boys matched the side they fit almost "purrfect"! This bird is 1/13 scale, inches that is. Wingspan should be a tad over 28". |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 19-Jun-07 19:22 |  | | Views : 734 | | Yegor has been "stuck a bit!" Fortunately part of his digital computer system was not harmed! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 17-Jun-07 15:56 |  | | Views : 744 | | Boris built the port sode Yegor the starboard. Yegor's math skills have come a long way in a short period of time. "Lettuce" hope the halfs eventually match! I have seen some nice work here in the past few weeks. After building footbridges, planting |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 17-Jun-07 15:52 |  | | Views : 693 | | Gentlemen we are back! The dynamic duet of Boris and Yegor pushed a bit to finally finish the fuselage formers. Maybe for Father's Day they will install the side keels and start the stingers. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Jun-07 19:34 |  | | Views : 754 | | Boris, top, builds the left side. Yegor, bottom, builds the right. I never realized how satisfying and fun cutting all of the parts by hand can be....WONDERFUL!!! Such therapy! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Jun-07 19:31 |  | | Views : 735 | | Boris and Yegor are at it again. Here Boris squares the fist hand cut fuselage former. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 29-May-07 21:21 |  | | Views : 748 | | Second keel in place....are we having fun yet? |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 29-May-07 21:20 |  | | Views : 765 | | The first keel. Sharp pencil, sharp eyes, sharp knife, and steady hands. I have two of the four! Made twoo to get the technique down. Basswood cuts as easy as balsa. Cut outside the line and then sand to the pencil line. Slow and steady, should be r |
