Hase 1/72 Mig 27

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

This kit was a bit of an exercise in nostalgia, having first built this kit as a 14 year old back in the mid 80’s.

It may be an old kit, but it’s still a good build, and to my eye at least looks like a Mig 27.

I didn’t bother re-scribing the raised panel lines, nor did I use AM parts as this was supposed to be an OOB build.

Paints are a combination of Gunze & Tamiya acrylics, and it took me about 3 goes to get the top camo colours to look right.

It’s not helped by the fact that I haven’t a clue about VVS camo colours and I ended up using Luftwaffe RLM 82 & 83 for the green and brown top colours.

The camo was free handed using my trusty old Badger 100, and although the edges are little soft for the scale, I like the effect.

Due to the raised panel lines, I couldn’t use a panel wash so instead masked off the inner edge of each panel line and applied a light coat of Tamiya Smoke.

The decals are all from the kit, as is the weapons fit.

I really enjoyed this kit as a break from my usual diet of late war Luftwaffe subjects.

So much so I built another!

Next up AZ Model’s 1/72 Mig 17PF.

Wow Karl, another beautiful MiG! Love the camo, looks great to me. You have a very steady hand for free-handing something in 1/72nd- not sure I’d be able to pull it off. [t$t]

Man, that’s a nice looking MiG! You did a great job, the camo looks just right to me. It makes me want to start the 1/48 MiG 27 in the stash. Thanks for inspiring us!

Excellent job.

Nicely done KJ[Y] But beware… MiGs are addictive![;)] What are the particular topside colors you used?

6

Nice work on the old kit.

7

Very nice looking Mig. I have one in the stash that I have had since the 80’s… Maybe now.

8

Great build…gotta love those Soviet designs.

Guys, thanks for the kind words.

I really enjoyed this old Hase kit, and it followed hot on the heels of the even older Hase Mig 25.

Stik, I used Tamiya Dark Yellow, Gunze RLM 82 & 83 for the top side colours.

Nice[:)] Wish I could do a good job on my kits!! Still cant do canopies[:'(] Tried everything, including satan. That was a waste of time!!

12

He could prolly help more for the 666 Squadron! [6][:D]

13

I wonder what kind of aircraft would the 666 Suadron use? Anyway, off to bed now, almost midnight here in Oz land. Got to get my ugly sleep[|-)]

14

WOW! You must really be bad at canopies if youre asking Satan for help....[6] Theres lotsa less-evil people here ready to help with that…lol…[:D]

Very nice. have this kit in the stash, and i built the MiG 23 from the same period at the end of last year, but it didn’t come out as good as that. I went over my panels with a pencil, at while it was ok, it doesn’t look as good as that, might have to try that idea next time.

Also like the MiG 17, been trying to find a decent kit of that, what’s your thought on the AZ kit.

16

My secret is out…

…I sold my soul to the Devil like a latter day Faustus, just for the ability to mask canopies![6]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Bish, I’ll post a WIP thread on the AZ Models Mig 17, as I think it’s going to be a challenging build.

I am always up for a challenge. I built the Bilek MiG 19 last year, so i am ready for more. Though not sure if that AZ kit is still around, if its worth it i will keep it in mind instead of dismissing it.

18

TAHS have got loads in stock, as well as the Bilek 17, but alas not the 19.
