Scalemates Mig-21 Group Build 2021

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

some filling to follow 

would like to play with the exhausts a little better than in my previous migs. will do it after the main coat though 

only had two sets of PE details for the seats so since this one will be under a closed canopy, the details are only basic 

 

mixed the paint according to the photos rather than the camo schemes in the instructions. not entirely certain of the result but i will continue. i will be a lot more ocd with the topside colors for sure 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i hope i will be able to sort out the stencils this year🙂 this is a 2021 group build after all haha 

checking with the reference picture. when new, the paint was really quite dark 

before post shade 

working on the armament. this trio will be fairly loaded apart from my usual pacifist approach 

loving the stencils 

updated the roundels to the darker ones as per the reference 

 

 

 

tried for the sun bleached tail. not as nice as I hoped but lets leave it like this 

the trio. masks are off! 

finished on the explosives. now to put them on
