Eduard 1/48th MIG 21MF


Recommended Posts

There great builds, this is the second Eduard Mig 21 ive built, adn wont be the last :thumbsup: , i had to mix the pit colour to match the pre painted etched cockpit panels included with the kit, i used humbrol paints (cant remember which numbers of the top of my head though) i do have a couple of tins of xtracolor russian cockpit blue but it is slightly different shade to the eduard pre painted colour

Its a shame that no company has got the paint close enough as yet. Ive got the model masters cockpit green but its too light so I, as you had to mix.

I used 3 vallejo paints to get what looked close enough to me.

Yours looks pretty much spot on (not that Im an expert, I just like what I see)

From what i've read about Russian aircraft, the greeney/bluey cockpit colour was supposed to provide a 'calming' environment for the pilot. Not sure if that's strictly true or not. i don't think I would feel too relaxed in such a garish colour, but then again I'm not a Russian pilot. No matter, it's a nice rendition of this type. Well done chap.
