Stu Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The only upside of having covid (quite mild thankfully) recently and staying out of everyone's way was getting some aircraft modelling done. There's been plenty written about these kits so no point repeating things my only comment being I found them a bit fiddly in places but otherwise a nice kit. As for the plane itself always thought the PF/PFM sharper than the slightly bloated looking MF. The Bulgarian PF is one of the few attempts at NMF I've done recently and is a mix of Tamiya and Mr Hobby and while it's far from comprehensive I'm content with the result. The MF is my interpretation of the Egyptian "Nile" scheme which I've always liked which was also Tamiya and Mr Hobby with a home brewed light green. Used a MIG wash for the first time on both and was very impressed. Apologies for the iffy photography. Thanks for looking, Stu 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Eduard has given you a nice base to work from, and you have produced two very nice Migs. The NMF is really good, but the 'Nile' scheme takes it for me; 'bloated' MF or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdaniel Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Nice MiG-21 builds. I worked on them for a short period in the past. (The PF is belongs to the Romanian Air Force, not the Bulgarian one.🙂) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Very nice pair of Fishbeds! Both schemes are great but the 'Nile scheme' is particularly well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Love the Romanian one best, but agree about the Nile scheme. Very nice finishes. Those Eduard kits are really good and you've done them justice. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Super MiGs, definitely my favourite Soviet aircraft although I actually prefer the more purposeful lines of the MF! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 A couple of great looking Mig 21's. I like the Romanian PF especially, did those decals come with the kit? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and no they didn't, they came out the spares box and think it was originally from an Eduard MiG 15 sheet Cheers Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherhawk27263 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 What a lovely pair of MiG-21's. It's one of my favorite planes and you did a spectacular job on both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
