| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 04-Jul-07 21:09 |  | | Views : 1052 | | The Mig-3 was aluminum in the front of the fuselage and wood in the rear. The inner wings were aluminum, the outer wood. Niki's mig will be the same. Al roof flashing, epoxy and time. Now I know I can do it! |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 03-Jul-07 18:01 |  | | Views : 728 | | Nicholai Borisovich (Nicholas the son of Boris), admires the instrumentation technology of a WWII Mig-3. He remembers the stories his father told him about his asventures flying a Sopwith Camel. Avation tecnology has come a long way in 25 years! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Aerial | 01-Jul-07 14:41 |  | | Views : 766 | | The contol room if a submarine, the instrument panel, if a plane. The detailing begins. |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 30-Jun-07 20:54 |  | | Views : 727 | | 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 : 704 | | 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 : 704 | | 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". |
