Mojo Returns

For a number of months, especially during this hard winter, my modeling Mojo fled. But lately, seemingly with the return of spring, it has also returned.
I pulled a halfway finished Starfighter from the shelf of doom, and finished that one. I've been resurrected a MiniCraft 1:144 JM-1 for IPMS review, and actually finished that one. No photos of the JM-1, however it is on The IPMS website. I will get around to photos of the Starfighter maybe later.
Did not much like the JM kit, too small, not all that well put together, and a hassle to build. It is now in the dust bin.
I ordered an Edward new 1:48 Spitfire kit and two MIG – 15bis kits from Sprue Brothers. I quickly begin one of the him MiG kits. Regardless of some issues that I precipitated, I finished it, fixed the issues, and it looks pretty good, and it was a fun build. I have now started on the next MiG kit and plan to add some additional detail.
A few notes on the build. Make sure they wing to fuselage join incorporates about it 2° anhedral. Be sure to add plenty of those weight. Also dry fit carefully all of the cockpit components so that they come together properly at the nose of the aircraft.
In my opinion this kit is not require the new Brassin cockpit set. It is quite detailed and much of that will not be visible once the fuselage is closed.
