Beatiful, I love older jets ... would have preferred a Hawker Hunter, but a MiG-19 is fine too :D

Hello OverStratos,

 

It looks fantastic!

I can't help notice that the so called "tube" is missing from the radar screen in all screenshots. You guys did a ton of research, so I am sure you know what I'm talking about.

 

The screen had a rubber tube on it during the day in order to shield it from sunlight. Without this tube you couldn't see anything on it. The screen didn't need the rubber tube installed for night flying. It only needed a filter to reduce screen flicker.

 

I saw on your FB page that people are already asking to make the gun camera removable to improve visibility from the cockpit. If you model the radar screen's shield, I am sure the same guys will start to complain about that as well. On the other hand, in reality the aircraft flew with these annoying things anyway.

 

Keep up the good work!

Cockpit looks great, I can't wait to fly this baby.

Camera over gunsight is installed only for training purposes, for combat situations was used AKS mounted close to air intake. I'm sure that guys from Razbam know that, and this camera will be removable.

To have the sight cam in cockpit is perfectly acurrate. The only MiG-19s that I see without them are factory test aircraft. Almost all pictures I can find of MiG-19Ps in service, have the sight cam installed. All the museum aircraft I have seen also have them installed.

But I don´t see any problem with making it removable.

Overstratos, you are right. I don't think that camera blocked the visibility that much. Forward visibility from this aircraft was bad because of her big, fat nose especially on final approach in bad weather. And you can't remove the nose, can you? :huh:

 

What about the radar screen's glare shield? Do you have any pictures on that?

Sorry, I meant if you had any real photographs of the radar's hood/glare shield, like the ones you posted about the gun camera.

 

This shield was made from rubber. It used to slide on to a metal tube that was attached to the screen by three bolts that could be loosened by hand for easy installation. Aircraft that have been on display under the sun in museums for decades are usually don't have the shield anymore. The rubber disintegrates due to heat, sunlight and age. And yes it was cumbersome and difficult to use. They cut a hole on its left side, so when you had your head against it you could still see some instruments, but only the AH was really visible which is not enough to fly on instruments.
