A Czechoslovakian Balalaika: Eduard 1/72 MiG-21MF


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

Here is what will be my last model for 2019; Eduard's 1/72 MiG-21MF "Fighter-Bomber" kit completed as 9712 of the 9th Fighter Air Regiment, Czechoslovak Air Force as based at Bechyně in the period 1989-93. The kit is almost OOB but I managed to loose part D47 (rather vital for locating the exhaust!!) and used Eduards own resin replacement exhaust set. Paints are primarily Humbrol (186 and 149 for the uppers, 65 for the underside) supplemented by Xtracolor and Sovereign Hobbies tins.

 

Although I have a 1/72 Spitfire Mk VIII and 1/48 Oeffag Albatros D.III in the stash, this is the first Eduard kit that I've completed and I must say that I'm very impressed - I didn't have to use filler and any mistakes in construction are purely down to me! Roll on the upcoming MiG-21PFM and PF kits!B)

 

Only three photos unfortunately as although today has been a nice sunny day here in the North East of Scotland the light still wasn't that great for indoor photography!
