Thank you friends !

A bit of progress still on the diorama. By looking at the pictures you can see the two funeral wreaths on the monument. So I bought Plus Model funeral wreaths with ribbons 1/35 scale I just could not find anything even similar in 1/48 scale. The product itself looks nice but as usually I wasn't satisfied so I decided to make it myself with using the flowers from the Plus Model. The ring is brass wire, the leaves are Noch leaves I use for threes, I mixed two colors to make it more authentic and then the Plus Model flowers. And some flowers in the grass as well is glued. So here it is

Nice one 

While I'm waiting for a few more elements for the diorama my attention is once again back on the Mig. The kit is clearly designed to be made with open conopy, when it's closed the windshield part is 0.20 mm lower than the rest of the conopy so it would be a step between the two parts, so I put a styreen to make it correct high but this bring me some more extra work on this part, lot of putty will be needed to make it right. In the meantime I inspected the landing gear door, compared the kit part with photos and.... well, new parts had to be done so made them full scratch, you can see the difference, now it's how I like it  And some work on the fuselage part of the landing gear openning, still in progress, more to follow soon
