| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 12-Jul-07 21:14 |  | | Views : 638 | | For us covering a plane with wood and Al is easier than tissue! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 12-Jul-07 21:07 |  | | Views : 713 | | "Niki, are we getting what Americans call a "WOODY"? "No Sasha, not unless we are building an early 1950's automobile! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 12-Jul-07 19:56 |  | | Views : 634 | | DD...I apologize for the fine "Crystal!" Niki and Sasha try to raise a toast to you. Question...Is the glass half full or half empty? |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 12-Jul-07 19:51 |  | | Views : 652 | | This is just a prototype to perfect a technique. Plastic sheeting of your choice, Al strips, bend to required shape, add additional trim. Easy and looks authentic! |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 12-Jul-07 09:14 |  | | Views : 794 | | Niki is back to work. The canopy beginning did not come from a can of peas, but from a Poland spring water bottle. This is just the prototype, it needs refinement. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 11-Jul-07 19:32 |  | | Views : 739 | | Started the slow process of covering the rear fuse in bass wood. Slow process as Elmer's does not set as fast as Epoxy. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 09-Jul-07 21:09 |  | | Views : 675 | | "Niki can we make it like a mirror" Sasha exclaims! "Yes Sash, but no need it will be painted" Niki relies. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 09-Jul-07 21:06 |  | | Views : 672 | | Saha stop trying to dent the sides with your head! Like his Dad, Sasha has a low learning curve! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 09-Jul-07 21:05 |  | | Views : 616 | | Enough polishing for now. We must start the rear wood as we keep handling the front and breaking stringers in the rear! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 08-Jul-07 16:23 |  | | Views : 654 | | The boys "Love the smell of Epoxy in the morining!" tis the smell of completion. Tin knocking skills aside, Sasha and Niki turn to carpentry to cover the rear end in wood. |
