DaveJL Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hello all, Here is my recently finished 1/48 Eduard Mig-21BIS in the markings of the Croatian Air Force. The build thread is here Extras used included a CMK resin seat and Model Maker decals. A note on these; they are awful. The shade of the grey is completely wrong and a lot of the decals broke up and did not fit to the model. I added some grey dry brushing to the check pattern on the tail and wings to try and darken it down, which it has done a bit, but it's not perfect and i'm not overly pleased with it. But it'll have to do. Beside my other Eduard Mig-21: Thanks for looking. Dave 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the decals, but the colour is a long way off the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 No excuses for the dea designer AND printer then!What color did you paint the main airframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hothersall Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Nice build. I have built that scheme in 1:72, and I didn't have too much trouble with the decals. The corner did break off one, but I think I didn't leave it in the water long enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour of the check pattern on the tail and wings is wrong in the Model Maker set, that's my main gripe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
