That looks amazing!!!

I finally finished the paintjob on my Syrian version! Just need to add some minor details like the 3D printed exhaust nozzle, final check of all electronics and then she's ready for the maiden.

Very cool. Good job!

[Hardway]

Love it!!! Great job Pat!!!

I didnt know there was a thread for this jet on here :)

Here's my non-scale mig-15 paint job on the Avios. Honestly the way this jet flies still scares me a little lol, she is far from the heaviest EDF i own but for some reason just feels like she is throwing her weight around more.

Looks good in the air and in the hangar though.

Its an awesome flying machine! Like that paint scheme!! Nice job!

MrSmoothie, Your work is great, Sir. I have purchased a couple of Max Gruber's pilot file sets and his work is exceptional. Modding the prints is about as close as we're going to get to custom pilots in these smaller scales. Let's hope he'll continue to design as I'd like to see him do an "US Modern Jet Pilot". Best, LB

[MrSmoothie]

I meant to add some information on the 3D printed cockpit parts -- I purchased these files for a modest amount from

Patrick Verlinden <pat.verlinden@telenet.be> There are a number of parts, so I just took my time and printed one or two a day and basically made myself a kit. I think it's good to support young modelers who go to such trouble and hoping to make a bit of money to put back into their projects. As I mentioned before, my pilot was made from combining and modifying Max Gruder designs found on CGTrader. If anybody is selling nicer pilot files than Max, I sure haven't seen them yet.

Thanks Apha! Hey, how's the 1700mm Mosquito coming along (heh heh).

If I ever do another Avios Mig, it'd have to be this scheme!

Its a great scheme! I did that for my 3d printed MiG. Very visible in the sky.

Stoli would be easy to see, that's for certain. I would also like to see someone do a Red Bull version someday.

Excellent cockpit detail, MrSmoothie!

[MrSmoothie]

Nice I would do a Red Bull version

If I was going to do a civil version, I have long admired the Stoli showplane. In fact, years ago I started doing the graphics for it -- for a day or two I'd thought about faking that scheme on the UMX Mig 15.

[MrSmoothie]

MrS, that cockpit looks terrific. Great job on that, and the rest of the plane!

Thanks! I should have pointed out that I bought a file for the cockpit components -- he posted in the RCG thread and the price was modest. Took some time to print and paint them of course. The pilot file is a modified Max Gruder file (CGTrader) --I have purchased several of his pilot files are well worth the cost. In this case I used his jet pilot body, but a Luftwaffe (109) pilot head, as the North Vietnamese still used flying helmets in the 1960's. The O2 mask is a combination of sculpted spackle, plastic tubing, ans wound solder.

If anybody wants to pursue the cockpit files, I'll dig up the contact information.
