This really is a trip into history. I wish you well with your work on the model. And I'll be happy to follow the progress.
The drop tanks used on the Mig you are building are the original (older) version. They were attached directly to the wing (no hinge) and did not have stabilizing ailerons on the end. This type of tanks had one unpleasant feature. When dropping the empty tank, the tank rolled on the wing. This was annoying because it could damage the control surfaces. Therefore, these tanks were replaced by a new type with stabilizing surfaces at the end of the tank and these tanks were suspended on a wing hanger (tanks of this type are in the kit). This solution eliminated the rolling problem.

Ludvik, thank you for the details. I did not know that. I imagine they usually did not drop the tanks on trainers.
I also masked the canopy last night. The molding of the frames are a bit vague and lots of curves so it will require some cleanup after painting.

Ben, you're right that trainer planes didn't usually drop tanks. In peacetime, in normal use, even combat aircraft don't drop tanks (except in emergency situations or exercises).
The purpose of my comment was merely to explain why the tanks on Indonesian aircraft differ from those in the kit.
I look forward to following your progress and wish you a lot of fun building the model and the result to your liking.

Well the other night I got frustrated with the Vallejo gloss black primer clogging my airbrush, so I added some Mr leveling thinner and gave it the worst orange peel ever as this is totally incompatible with the paint. I thought I could selectively strip the paint with windex but while that kind of stripped the paint it also dissolved a lot of the perfect plastic putty and also dissolved the canopy pva glue and masking. Also I broke off a wing and a horizontal stabilizer. So a bit of a setback.
I have constant problems getting the Vallejo gloss black primer to not clog my 0.4mm nozzle.

It's sad, Ben. These Vallejo primers can only be diluted with distilled water because they are based on acrylic urethane (this is my IMHO). Even Vallejo's Thinner and Flow Improver for acrylic paints does not go well with these primers. The same applies to their polyurethane varnishes.

Wow that video seam to show it's a lot of hard work to get their primer coat working 👀
I'd go with mr surfacer 1500 approx 50:50 with mr levelling thinner, then if you need a gloss use mr Color gx110 again 50:50 with levelling thinner, sounds just as complex but I've never had this block airbrush and you can get rid of surface issue before you gloss saving the thicker gloss primer obscuring details..
Good luck on you build

Painted some detail parts. Unlike the Vallejo primer, the metallics shoot like a dream. Started reassembly. I will have to re-putty and this kit needs a lot of putty. The canopy is a goopy fogged mess, I'm going to soak it in degreaser to hopefully strip off the future and start over on it.

The accident on your project is really unpleasant. I wish you a steady hand and a lot of patience in dealing with the aftermath.

I finally broke the pitot tube off, amazing it stayed on this long with all the handling I had to do. The second time I did the puttying I didn't sand things as smooth, live and learn. This kit has a lot of challenging fit issues. I think I will decal next. Fairly happy with the canopy, it was a bear to mask. The gun blast panel and air brakes came out nice, slight contrast with the rest of the nmf.

Ben, I admire your patience and determination to finish the model.
Have you considered subtle colour differentiation of the individual panels? It'll brighten up the uniform silver surface of the aircraft nicely.

There are a few panels painted a different color and some light weathering, but I'm keeping it subtle on this one as my photographic references don't show a lot of variation other than the gun blast panel and air brakes. I'll take some better pictures when it's done. I've done the full on panel painting before and I enjoy doing that!

OMG. I took it outside to photograph it and I dropped it. Reassembly commences.

Build completed so far. Still waiting for the metal barrel. Quite challenging to attach the Zimmerit- PE parts. Was annoying when it comes to round shapes on the turret front armor. Treating those metal parts with some heat, made them much more handy to shape. First time using Friul tracks, very time consuming, but the best track result I´ve seen so far 🙂

Lower part of the tank was painted and received weathering. Tracks were mounted and connected. Rear fenders were the installed. Next is masking lower section and painting the upper parts.

Nice job. I'm taking a seat.
Is it going to be some "Magdeburg-stuff" again?

The tank received several rounds of paint. Starting with red brown primer, followed by dark yellow as base color and finally the camo pattern. Next is detail painting, and weathering.

Initial weathering steps were conducted; chipping the Zimmerit and the metal surfaces.

Thanks, Nick!
The exhaust was painted in a medium grey first. The parts having armor plates underneath were left in the original painting, as these area is less affected by heat and corrosion. Then a warm white followed by a reddish brown was applied using the sponge technique. Next was rust tones painted and blended with enamels. Colors of the original camo scheme where then applied with a sponge in the areas with less corrosion, to turn out the different stages of heat impact. Finally the upper parts received a slightly black shade to simulate the exhaust fume grime.

Kick off for the base. Styrofoam is the desired material for house, road and pavement. As the road and pavement is covered with lots of dirt and debris, I added cobblestone only randomly. For the road thin sheets of styrofoam were shaped using a 3D printed rolling pin. In order to create more texture the stones were carved with a pencil. For the pavement an old brush was used to shape the small stones. Everything was painted in several greyish, brownish, sandy tones with acrylics.
The shape of house was cut with the Proxxon hot wire. To make the facade more interesting I added some "decoration" around the upper windows. A border seperates the upper and lower floor. Next is closing the gaps between the decoration elements at the upper windows and cover the lower floor with wood.

Slowly taking shape. Lower floor fassade updated with some wooden panels. Dirt and debris was added to the road and pavement and painted with the airbrush. I used the same colors I used for weathering the tank tracks. Next is windows and door installation and of course detailing the interior.

Lower and upper floor and walls were detailed using Balsa wood and wallpaper. Added windows using Balsa and lasercut as well as some transparent plastic for the glas parts. Also the infantry miniatures arrived meanwhile.

Scratch built some interior from balsa wood and plastic residues. The attic floor was installed. Next is finally building the lower floor entrance and preparing the roof.
