French MiG-21AL


Recommended Posts

Hi All!!

She's done. The only thing left is to put her on a base which will have to wait for the weekend as payday is on Friday :)

The kit is the Academy 1/48 MiG-21MF. Quite a nice kit that required a minimal filling and sanding routine to get it ready for paint. The inspiration is this profile by Richard of Gekko Graphics fame:

My A/c however represents a E.C. 03-03 "Ardennes" machine in 1987 operating in Djibouti.

The last one is in because I took all the other pics and then realised that the blade antenna behind the 'pit wasn't painted :P Now she is though!

As always crits and comments most welcome!

ps. posted here 'cause some folks don't get down to our what-if section :)

No, Ja. Very naas Pieter :P Sorry, but after seeing model_madness' "kif my bra" comment on your work in progress thread, I just couldn't help myself. I don't talk much like a South African but I think some of the local sayings are funny.

This one is great dude. I'm fully expecting you to make good on the hint at the SAAF Mig now though. Yes it's double duty and no rest for you sir! :D
