djos Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Hi to all i had to decide what to do whit this model, built some 5 years ago. It was finished in wrong colors of Yugoslav air force, badly executed.....as PFM version is hard to find on the market i decide to try to salvage it...so he got another colors with free hand airbrushing (Egypt air force, Nile Valley camouflage 1970), added details to cockpit, weathering was done with Tamiya pastels, and sprayed with mat Gunze varnish. At the end i am happy with overall look. I hope you like it also. Best regards, and pictures and the end....

Mountain goat Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Superb. I think you've made the right choice by keeping panel line washes and weathering to a minimum. Looks great. Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomthounaojam Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Impressive Restoration work mate!!! really liked it and good photography. I did three mig-21 restorations as well all basic kits one really old Mig-21 F-13 from Airfirx, the two from some eastern European manufacturer. Trying to build all the mig-21 variant we used, here is Mig-21-F-13, Mig-21 Bis and Mig-21 Bison. I gave the bison to my cousin however when I visited his place it was in a sorry state, canopy broken front wheel gone, body cracked really sad and other mig-21 broken by dad. Either way, restored to best I could, however, the canopy sadly can't do much as I didn't have spare. upload gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djos Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 @tomthounaojam Those migs are very nice...especially this one in blue colors. It is always problematic to refresh old models, but at the end every saved model with story behind is worth of our time. Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards Thanks Mate, the blue one is a special indeed has some story behind it as well. True every models has a story to tell good or bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
