Wee Beastie Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Going to be starting this MiG-21PFM. Being an Eduard, there’s a PE cockpit set, and canopy masks. I’m also going to use a Master Models pitot, and an Aires seat, and it will be finished with Hataka Orange Line. I've started by re-doing some of the rivets, and added some extra ones. Lots of lead pushed into the nosecone, and some on the sides of the front wheelbay. Doubt it's needed, but done out of habit.Untitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2900 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2900 by ian gaskell, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Aires seat done. Painted with Hataka Orange Line, and Blue Line for the detailing. Belts are the kits Eduard PE. Cockpit also completed, and installed in the fuselage. Machcone, and front wheelbay installed too. Fuselage closed up, and wings attached. Fit is very good.

Flyingdutchman Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Nice progress Ian. You’ve nailed the Mig-21 before so I’m confident this will be a beauty too. Cheers Evert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 The various stages leading up to getting the first camo colour down. Had a spare canopy, so I used that to cover the cockpit, instead of faffing around with masking tape. Primed with UMP black. Exhaust is Vallejo Metal Colour Steel and Jet Exhaust. The green used is Alan’s Russian green, which was also used on the wheels too. These areas were then masked. Underside is Hataka Orange Line medium grey, and the first camo colour is Orange Line dark earth. Some post-shading was done on the grey.DSC_2950 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2950 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2950 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2957 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2957 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2957 by ian gaskell, on Flickr 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Beastie Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) The initial colours for the camouflage are done. The next stage is some post-shading. Hataka Orange Line Sand Yellow, and Dark Earth used.

That can only be a good thing I'd like to give one of these super detailed kits a go, but the range currently seems quite small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 The post-shading is finished, and all the masking removed. A little bit of tidying and touching carried out, and the green airbrushed, to replicate where the Russian markings were painted over. Glossed over with Hataka lacquer gloss, and then the decals applied. Decals were then sealed with more Hataka gloss.

Wee Beastie Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Panel-line wash done. I used a dark blue/grey on the underside, and dark brown on the upper surfaces. Then a mixture of dark grey and burnt umber pigments were used, and a silver watercolour pencil has been used to add chips and wear to some of the panel edges. I’ve also used a sponge to dab aluminium paint on some surface areas, to replicate more chipping.DSC_3215 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_3215 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_3215 by ian gaskell, on Flickr 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
