Got the cockpit done. But now I have to figure out what color that nose is. Doesnt seem to be the green they call for in the instructions. Ergh.

It could be a dark green which would be hard to discern as the nose sits in the shadow of the plane. .02

Id say its the green but faded... You could try editing the picture an bump the saturation up a little

It seems to be a darker green than the one I usually see. How to manage this...

Having played with the saturation, its green.

The dark euro green model master color is right close. I have nowhere near me where I moved to the carries humbrol

Yep Augie, the dark euro green did the trick. 🙂
It went together rather well. Only real issue is where the tail meets the hump. Gonna have to do a little sanding to make it flush. But not bad otherwise.

I got it primed, glossed and then alclad aluminum sprayed. Got to go back and do a little bit of sanding and stuff to even stuff up and re apply the paint I screw up doing that.

Looks good. The noseart really makes this mig stand out from all the camouflage ones.

Thank you both. 🙂
Thats why I grabbed the kit David. Something completely different from what you usually see.

Album info
This will be my next project. Hopefully it will be a quick build. Its 1/72 and not a lot of parts. And it will be my first MiG.
