Rabbit Leader Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just catching up on this build John. I say, what a great WIP and you’ve rectified quite a few issues as the build as progressed. Nice work on the paint job as well, colours look good to my eye. So nice to see one of these MiG’s being built and do think that we’ve all covered a good lot of Nordic subjects within this GB. Well done everyone. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Decals are on and it is looking like a reasonable facsimile of a Mig-21bis... Terrible decals. So, so fragile and the stencils are rudimentary at best. I suggest if one were to build another one of these KP kits (and I will) to opt out for 100% aftermarket markings. Just more reliable in so many ways. Still...I like it! Later today I will varnish, attach the air brakes and the nose aerial...whizz-bangs, etc...then probably pin-wash with dark oils. --John 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the two companies are connected ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Et voila...c'est fini! I finished it last night and did a bit of griming up with some black/brown oil pin washing. Not so much. Just a bit. It shows better on the underside than the top, but it's there. The rest of the pics are in the gallery along with a bit of a play-by-play. Many thanks to the Mods for this GB. Once again I find myself modelling beyond my means and in awe of the fine examples of this hobby from other benches. Every time I think, "Oh...I'll just build a so-and-so..." a GB pops up in which it fits. I'm a lucky boy. --John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Nice work on this one as well John. Another fine addition to your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Oh yes - very nice Mig to be proud of! I have the same kit waiting on the shelf, good to know about decals so I might keep my eyes open for aftermarket ones. But once they are on, they seem to look good anyways!
