I can live with this, kinda. Probably hit it with a thinned white final layer in the areas of the framework. The rudder is white on the model I'm doing.
Think that last bit of white is needed?
Also, that black trim tab line? Dial it down to a shade of gray? Same with the black area against the rudder?
I understood. As I had mentioned it before, the rudder of the plastic model had the relief exaggerated. In fact the rudder fabric skin was much more tightened with no rivet there.
Anyway I would say it is fine now judging by these images above.
Agree with Wojtek on the rudder and I really, really, really hope the plastic piece you have there isn't from the Trumpeter kit. I'll have to dig my kit out. Some very nice work here.
Do you have a photographic detail of what it should look like ? Bit hard to be super critical because i dont have a good idea of what is being replicated

well, what you have are timber ribs over which a fabric skin has been applied and then a stiffening or tightening dope to make it taught. You are going to be able to see those ribs but the detail is not as pronounced as perhaps thought. Definately no rivets. That black vertical strip doesnt seem to serve much of a purpose either.
Sorry I could not help more than that.
Surely there is someone with a good working knowledge of captured MIG-3s.......
