blasi Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I am starting building MIG-21 MF 1/72 from R.V. Aircraft. I will built it out of box, and I choose Hungarian marking. I am inspired from this build : http://www.lietadielka.blogspot.sk/search/label/MiG-21SMT i will also follow the blog to avoid any issues if there are any. You can find also photos of the MIG 21 MF and MFN box. http://www.lietadielka.blogspot.sk/2013/07/mig-21mf-mig-21mfn-fishbed-j-rvaircraft.html Its interesting kit, with rivets and nice plastic. So, lets start:) the box: I also bought a pitot tube inside the box the resin parts looks good. Cockpit: I started with resin parts. Here they are. I will post my progres later, because I am going on short vacation to see real MIG 21 Lancer on the sky:) I will visit Kecskemt Airshow in Hungary.

modelglue Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Great model! Do you think they'll produce a SU-22 for us to go along side this '21? I can't believe how much detail is in that cockpit! Great job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe how much detail is in that cockpit! Great job there. It will be perfect, if R.V. will create SU-22. We need to ask. good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasi Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Around 70 decals applied. Not finished:D other 100 decals are waiting (maybe more) for the water and kit:D I realy enjoyed this. Its really time consuming but the result is perfect(my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasi Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Littel progress: Stencills applied, and some weathering is done also. Next step will be maybe the missing parts attaching to the kit and slowly finishing it. Photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
