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.

Thanks Gorby 🙂
It's a nice kit and being 1/16 scale is larger than a 1/35 scale King Tiger. Plenty of plastic for your $$$

Thanks mate 🙂
Have since added a little paint chipping (back to the grey base coat), and applied the decals etc which are going to take a few applications of Micro Sol to settle down over the turret details. Will update the album when there is a little more to see.

Thanks Gary 🙂
Cooler weather temps have slowed progress this last week but paintwork has been sealed and the decals are done now.
Ready to make a proper start on the weathering and dirtying it up a bit ahead of final assembly.

A "light tank" of the German Afrika Corps WWII. Something that our Kiwi troops (NZ Division) would "butt heads" with frequently during the early years of the war. But, given it's light armour and lack of a main shell firing gun... quickly became obsolete when the Allies (including NZ) pulled their finger out and put bigger and better tanks on the field. I have a ton of respect for these German crewmen.
