Jon Bryon Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Splendid model ! , is the Mr. Color paint you have used acrylic ? Regards Thanks It's the Mr Color range, which are *not* water soluble. I think they are called acrylic laquers. I thin them with Mr Leveling Thinner.

Basuroy Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks It's the Mr Color range, which are *not* water soluble. I think they are called acrylic laquers. I thin them with Mr Leveling Thinner. Jon Thank you for your reply , would you say they are like the Tamiya acrylic paints then which can be diluted by alcohol ? I find your finish fantastic and am considering purchasing the same paint but wish to confirm that they are not enamels . Is it possible to mask over this paint or does it lifts off ?

I find your finish fantastic and am considering purchasing the same paint but wish to confirm that they are not enamels . Is it possible to mask over this paint or does it lifts off ? They are not like Tamiya acrylics. The Mr Hobby Aqueous range is similar to Tamiya, and can be mixed with them, but Mr Color is different. Mr Color are not enamels, but they are pretty toxic; they are not alcohol based, although they can be cleaned with alcohol (but cellulose/lacquer thinners is what's recommended). You can mask over it no problem, but I make sure the plastic is clean by wiping it down with 100% alcohol. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek A Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Marvelous finish! Inspiring but, I fear, unobtainable for me! Hey ho, I'll just keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Excellent work. I like the F-13 version because its looks have a fragile quality to it, yet it's a powerful and sturdy aircraft having been operated well into the 1980s. Your model captures this well - I particularly am impressed by the smoothness of the finish. Superb! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan76 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Very nice work, one if my favorite airplanes. Curious, how would you compare this kit to the Eduard version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, how would you compare this kit to the Eduard version? Thanks! Eduard don't make this model of MiG-21, but in general the Eduard MiG-21 kits, which are of later versions, are far, far superior to Trumpeter's Fishbed, both in terms of detail, fit and accuracy. I am currently building Eduard's MiG-21R, MiG-21MF and MiG-21bis and they are going together beautifully. The MiG-21bis, however, has an inaccurate nose, for which I am using Cold War Studio's resin correction set. HTH Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom.boom Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Fantastic job, really fantastic!!! Lifelike NMF and such a pedantic build! But what I especially like is historical background of subject, red 23..."cuban mig"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
