Muzz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm planning on building Eduards Mig-21PFM kit and there's a couple of colour options for details in the build. I'm planning on doing the Czech airframe OOB which is circa 1991, wondering if the cockpit should be grey or the traditional turquoise colour? (I'm thinking probably torquioise) Also should the undercarriage bays be grey or green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilson Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Can't help you but I have the same kit (got it on offer from PSM this month) so I shall be watching your build with interest. I'm doing the Polish version as well as it looks the easiest to paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Cancel, question answered with a visit to the Walkround section which has a PFM in Czech colours almost the same as the one I'm doing. Dave not sure if I'm going to make a start soon or not as I've just started GWH Mig-29. Looking in the box though I should probably make a start given the parts count for the cockpit and undercarriage bays alone!! Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Not too relevant now but Eduards own coloured etch cockpit set has a turquoise back ground color. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilson Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Never thought of that Steve! I've just checked the etch in my kit and it is indeed turquoise so i guess there's your answer Muzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Although Eduard themselves have released a resin cockpit specifically for airframes with grey cockpits. Not sure if it was 'late' or 'early' types that had the grey. The PFM (it's listed as a PF) in the Walkround section has a torquioise coloured one so that's what I'm going with along with greedy/grey coloured wheel bays and grey coloured undercarriage legs.

harvy5 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Muzz when doing aircraft from 1991 cockpit is definitely in turquoise color! Gray was just before overhaul.Wheel bays and undercarriage legs have to color differently according numbers. What number it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

172flogger Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Czechoslovak PFM early service (sixtiex and seventies): cockpit - gray wheel bays - yellow-eloxed aluminium http://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/1187-markings1.pdf late service (eighties to end of the service in early nineties): cockpit - turquoise whell bays - gray or gray-green. Not turquoise. http://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/1187-markings2.pdf Eduard instructions are right.
