Mick Drover Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) G'day folks. Latest off the bench is this 1/48 East German MiG-21PF. The kit needs no introduction; it's the weekend edition of the beautiful Eduard MiG-21PF. The kit includes the HGW 'fabric' seatbelt. The jury is still out on these. Paints are all Gunze with Alclad II around the noisy end. Weathering is with AK panel line washes and Ammo filters. The cockpit colour is my own brew based on some testing that Richard Chafer did on his Gekko Graphics blog. Richard suggested a 50/50 mix of Gunze Sangyo H25 Sky Blue and H46 Emerald Green. To that I then added a few drops of yellow and light grey. The only problem I had with the kit was some fore and aft slop in the lower fuselage/wing piece. I chose to eliminate the gap at the front as the gap at the rear is easier to conceal. The decals performed flawlessly and snugged down into the panel lines with some Mirocsol (red?) setting solution. I’ve reviewed a few of the Eduard MiG-21 kits and I’m stoked to finally have one on the shelf. Hope you like it and thanks for checking it out.

Flemming Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi This looks very good. Nice job. Not the same version as yours, but by visiting the Berlin Gatow exhibition it is possible to se a lot of old east German hardware. Recommended. Best regards Flemming 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
