| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 20:02 |  | | Views : 708 | | Original plan has 8 sentences in wing construction. Very open ended. That is a 1 ft metal ruler under the fuselage in front of the wing. 5.5 hrs of progress today, a lot to go but I am happy to be back at the build! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 19:59 |  | | Views : 623 | | Many changes, and I hope, improvements to the original wing plan. Length, width, and dimnesional size of the building material was altered. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 19:56 |  | | Views : 683 | | The start of wing construction. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 01-Aug-07 18:17 |  | | Views : 715 | | Cleaned the workshop for wing production. Made a new building board to fit the wings. I had to enlarge the original wing plane to give a wing to fuselage ratio exactly like the real Mig. Off to the hills to rape and pillage for a few days! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 01-Aug-07 18:14 |  | | Views : 678 | | Learned colleagues, tow coats of sealer, the second not yet sanded. Is this baby behind yet? |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 30-Jul-07 19:56 |  | | Views : 686 | | Initial fitting of the wings seem to indicate that they are very close to the "Real Thing". The fillets do not appear. I may widen the wing root a tad. The trailing edge of the Mig almost extends to the rear of the canopy. Computers, great resource. P |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 29-Jul-07 19:13 |  | | Views : 691 | | Boris, AKA Niki, needs aid to get off the tail. I must find another "Boris". He has worked so hard and appeared in so many pictures that his "Joints are burnt out!" He really cannot stand W?O assistance! |
