pavolSK Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) A few weeks ago I began to build a new pair of MiG-21 from R.V.Aircraft.I chose the classical version MiG-21MF (HI TECH box) and Czech modernized MiG-21MFN. Content of the MiG-21MF HI TECH kit:Currently both models are after the airbrushing camouflages.MiG-21MFN: The camouflage is done using Gunze H.308. I sprayed the fading using mixture 2:1 Tamiya XF-2:XF-19. Finally I applied heavily thinned color mix 2:1 Gunze H.45:Tamiya XF-2 to achieve a bluish tint. MiG-21MF was airbrushed in a similar procedure. Step 1-Light blue grey: Step 2-Brown: Step 3-Dark Green: Pavol Edited November 20, 2013 by pavolSK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Nice work Pavol. Both kits look very good and that decal sheet is quite something! Shame the kit is so expensive here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavolSK Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Hello, status after the applying of decals. The stencils are from the Eduard D72004 decal sheet. The marking of version MF is collected from the decal sheet "MiG-21 in Czechoslovak, Czech and Slovak Air Service" decal sheet designed by Mr. Marcel Kunec.

Charles Dykas Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 excellent work!! are the RV kits now considered to be the best Mig-21's out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavolSK Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you guys! Viasistina, from my point of view are RV kits the best MiG-21 in 1/72 scale for the MF version. Zvezda kit is the best choice for the bis verisons. But I hope that RV will release the bis version in 2014. What do I really like is the amount of released versions based on MF: MF, MFN, SM, MA, R. Now I'm thinking about my future project MiG-21R The new kit MiG-21R contains the color PE cockpit, masks for clear parts and the resin parts for upgrade of basic MF version to R version.
