MiG 15 – Part Six – Was That The Mr. Whippy Van?

And was it playing The Internationale?

I don’t normally pay attention to conspiracy theories, but there seems something suspicious about this. Normally we get soft serve, sundaes, and double cones with a Flake bar stuck in the middle. This seems to be a new one…

I wonder what flavour –  Borscht? Caviar? Fish canned in motor oil? Vodka? Now that would sell in our street along about 5:30 of an evening.

Actually I do admire old jets – they have intakes and exhausts that are perfect for holding the models while painting. I do not relish the makers getting so detailed as to block these useful orifices off entirely. I also appreciate the fast application and drying time of the solvent – based paints when I have to hand-hold the model while airbrushing it. Less time for things to go wrong.

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the big experiment on this mule. Let us pray it is successful – I am quite liking the little thing.
