BritJet Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 This is the KP MiG-21MF with SyH@rt Czech AF splinter camo decals, nice easy build and then about 3 hours to apply the decals..... Thanks for looking. Steve 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Spectacular result Steve. I would have been hitting the eyedrops bottle hard after that one! . What's the base colour? Is that pale grey or white? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete I used Halfords Racking Grey overall, a lot of the splinter camo is in large pieces but it does take a fair bit of work to get some pieces in the right place to match up with the others. I did the decals in three sessions so they had time in between to dry properly and so I didn't go cross eyed. I enjoyed doing it but was glad to get it finished.

Head in the clouds. Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 You missed one....🤣 Only three hours, looks like it took much longer by virtue of the complexity of the scheme, well done, superb build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritJet Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Luckily they supply quite a few spares of different shapes so you're right I didn't put them all on..... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritJet Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Thanks, when it turned up at Fairford I knew I wanted to model it but didn't want to paint all those random shapes! Buying the decal sheet was just a reflex action and has sat with the kit for ages as I thought it was going to be difficult to apply them all. It certainly stands out from the crowd of the usual grey jets! Cheers. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike N Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 What an eye-catching scheme that is, very nice work. I also really like the backdrop in your photos, really sets the subject off nicely. Is the hangar a kit or scratchbuilt? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't too bad to do, the decals are in a logical order on the sheet which was good, saved hunting around for a certain number etc. The only difficult bit was working out which way round some of them needed to go. It would help if the instruction sheet showed a line around each decal on the 3-view. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
