modelling minion Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 You're cracking on with this one Dennis, and doing a really good job on it. I like your mix for the cockpit blue, very good, and the work on the engine area is really good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Looking great Dennis. I like the look of these Eduard 1/72 kits - not surprised at that since their 1/48 kit is one of my favourites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of these Eduard 1/72 kits - not surprised at that since their 1/48 kit is one of my favourites. Thanks I really need to get more of these they are gems of a kit. … I finished off the canopy and bang seat today. All the little vents and doodads have been glued to the fuselage that can be. So now that thats all done, I cut the supports on the Recon pod from Eduard and polished the thing. Temporarily mounted for show. This is most definitely a “D” pod, as the side engraved panels are identical. There are brass squares for the three downward camera ports. Ive had to carve the forward one as it was obliterated by sanding/ & polishing. Here is an “R” pod for comparison. Oddly enough mine actually comes with a cover for the chaff/flare dispenser. But wont be adding it unless I build this as a Night pod ? Last up was mounting the seat and canopy. The only place that really needs any work is the nose. Its the only place with an exposed seem. Now for some odd reason my nose ring shrunk ever so slightly as it dried. Which now means there was a very slight step completely around the nose. Ive already started to file that down as well as the seem on the nose. Next up will be to add the wing tip SPO-3 antennas. Everything else like the shock cone/radar will be added after paint as it just slides in. That and the nose probe, pitot, and “T” antenna’s under the wing tips will be added after paint. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts. Dennis 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Morning everyone … well Im almost embarrassed to say that the sanding and re-scribe on this is done. I’ve added the SPO-3 sensor pods on the wingtips and started on the load-out. I even remembered the little fillet’s in the notch. Those were not fun to mount by the way. In this case the load-out will be 490 Litre tanks on the outer pylon's. With a pair of R3-S’s on the inner pylons. This seems to be very common on the MiG-21R’s. Of course the center line has the pod. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts. Dennis 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Really nice Dennis, you are doing a cracking job on her. These kits do seem to go together very well and quite quickly too. 🇺🇦 Edited February 27, 2022 by modelling minion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I couldn't ask for any better. Just a little filing of the rear blade on the pod so it clears the underside fin of the mig. But other than that no issues with fit. Actually Ive decided my next mig may carry one of these pods. https://spruebrothers.com/edu672195-1-72-eduard-brassin-sps-141-ecm-pod-for-mig-21-fishbed-edu-kit/ The SPS-141 ECM pod looks like it would be an interesting bit of kit to mount.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Morning everyone … first of the paints are on. I sprayed the aluminum/metallic color for the 490 Ltr. tanks and recon pod. Once that was done I sprayed the light grey. I waited a bit for that to quick cure and then masked for the medium grey. This can cure over night and tomorrow can spray the dark grey and green for the shock cone, dielectric panel's, and wheels. I was able to track down a list of all 36 Polish R’s and their Bort #’s so will have my choice there. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Good morning everyone … Camouflage is done on this. Only the green for the dielectric, cone, and wheels is next. I tried to use the worms but wasn't satisfied with how they were laying out. So in the end this is all freehand. I will need to redo the Wheel bays but nothing major. Once thats done I will paint in the camera windows. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts. Dennis 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
