Pablito Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hello again I'm slowly starting with my new project. This time I took on my bench the MiG-21MF in 1/72 scale from Eduard with a few aftermarket sets. The particular plane that I will build serves now for a monument in Krzesiny AFB Poland: https://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/959301/9111-poland-air-force-mikoyan-gurevich-mig-21mf/ At the beginning I've put together cockpit parts, ejection seat, and drilled out holes for the resin air brakes. I've also added PE parts for the engine nozzle. See You soon 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 This will be a fun build, no doubt. I haven't started on my Eduard MiG-21 yet, so I'll be watching how you proceed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Good start on this MF. I found the Eduard kit fitted perfectly during assembly and thoroughly enjoyed making it from start to finish. (Cambodian AF) I hope you have just as much fun😃.

Pablito Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Hello Last week I've manage to work with the cockipt. The base paint for the interior is AK Real Colors RC206 Russian Cockpit Turquoise with a drop of blue. After spraying glossy varnish I used Tamiya's black Panel Line Accent Color. When the wash has dried I've sprayed over XF-86 Flat clear from Tamiya and started to make some scratches and chipping with AK Interactice weathering pencils Gun Metal and Chipping Color. I've also used Vallejo Gun Metal paint for the dry brush technique. After this I've made the most heavily dirt in the corners with MIG Dark Brown Wash for Green Vehicles and black pigment. At the end I've made some highlights on the clean areas with white oilbrusher. That's all for today Edited November 25, 2021 by Pablito 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablito Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Hello The fuselage is closed. Getting ale the parts together was a big pleasure because of the perfect fit. The painting process began with a layer of Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500, after it dried, I've polished it with a worn sanding sponge. Preshading was done with a dark and white paint from Mr. Paint.

Smudge Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 That cockpit looks very impressive. What did you use for the instrument's and switches etc. Are they kit supplied details? The seat looks great, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
