1/72 Zvezda MiG-21bis Fishbed L


Recommended Posts

Zvezda kit built in the latter part of 2018. This was a practice build (and my first serious attempt at freehand camo work) before I tackled the Eduard kit. A mostly OOB affair, with the Master Models pitot tube as the only aftermarket addition.

This is an exceptionally well built representation of the famed Fishbed.  I love the colors and scheme.

 I`m also jealous of it too! 😉

 

Beautifully done!!!!! :clap:

@Hobo and @flashlight - I used Gunze paints, specifically for the camo they were H312 Light Green, H27 Tan, and H52 Olive Drab.

 

The exhaust was Tamiya acrylics Gun Metal, given a wet coat of Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner over the top which I find changes it to an almost chrome-like sheen - be careful as it is very easy to over-do the thinners... too much and it will ruin the effect.

 

Thank you all for the kind comments.
