DennisTheBear Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That is very nice! The closer you look the more detail you see, just like walking closer to the real thing. DennisTheBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango 1 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thank you all for your kind words! I used this model as a "weathering experiment" to try a couple of new things. I painted the model with Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with an enamel panel line wash and oils. I was not sure of myself but it seems to have turned out OK in the end. It was quite a fun process! Thanks for all your comments! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hi Darren, an amazing model with a superb finish. These PLW are not bad for my taste. I use them too and feel quite satisfied with the results. I like your Mig in this colour sceme very much. Good weathering, nothing Is overdone, I appreciate that very much! I always want a Mig-21 but never realized it. all in all atb Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGKent Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nice MIG, Darren! IMHO, KM-1 ejection seat doesn't look like the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 That is a great looking Mig. The paintwork is of the quality that I aspire, and consistently fail, to achieve! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwitrogg Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 That's a nice way to finish off the year. Your weathering experiment seems to have been rather a success I'd say It's a bit of a brute of an aircraft aye ! All the best for 2017.
