Stressed Czech MiG! Wings of wood & bricks for undercarriage!

Those decals looked like a knotty challenge to get right!

Haha!! They were pretty good actually. I did have to cut them up to align with the wing panels a bit more correctly.

Completed at last.

 

Managed to take a couple of pics of the cockpit yesterday before I attached the canopy, & added the glass blast screen behind the front ejection seat. Also added the Pavla ejection seats.

 

And finally...glad I got this completed before the end of the group build.

 

 

Thanks for watching! On to the next build & group build!

Cheers everyone!

Beautifully executed, I love the comic strip feel about it!

And so am I, what a fantastic result.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is in 1/72 rather than 1/48 you have done such a good job on it.

You did really well getting all the decals to line up so well and the painting and weathering are spot on.

Thanks for having taken part in the GB Martin and very well done for having produced such an excellent model.

This is some excellent work! Thanks for sharing with us. 

 

IIRC, the Stress Mig-21 was destroyed in a mid-air collision with another Mig. I don't know if either crew survived the incident. If it's true, it is a very sad ending to such a colourful airframe.  

 

Cheers.

One of the most amazing paint jobs I have ever seen. Beautifully executed.

Craziest colour scheme I've ever seen! Lovely model, well done.
