MiG-21MF RomanianAF - Eduard - 1/72

May 16, 2018 · in Aviation · · 14 · 3.9K

Hello everyone
Started 15 days ago (a kind of a record for me) it is completed now and I'm very happy sharing it with you guys.
The kit it is superb, great detail and fit. There are some minor issues but nothing to scare an usual skill modeler.
I've depicted an aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, decal and stencils provided from the box. Sadly, this plane crashed in 2006, killing his pilot, just after being upgraded to a LanceR version.
Painting done with MrPaint paints.

  1. Nice work, my friend...I like it.

  2. I enjoyed the WIP thread, and the final product looks great!

  3. Thank you guys

  4. Beautiful work, Bogdan! I love Mig-21s. This kit looks exactly like the 1/48 version.

  5. Really nice Mig! Especially awesome considering small scale of 1/72. Looks like a much bigger model due to your attention to details.

  6. Great looking Mig 21!

  7. Considered to be the Boogie Man of the Vietnam war and the inspiration for the F-16,the Mig -21 is still going strong in the middle east and with all of the color schemes,is only rivaled by the Me-109 with all of the color cameo that was painted on it. This new Eduard Kit looks to be the definitive kit in 1/72nd.

    Two thumbs up Bogdan . You could have said that it was the 1/48 scale kit and nobody would have seconded guessed you. Some strong work on a cold warrior.

  8. Hugely impressive for both the scale (as others have noted already) and the time span (really, two weeks - this is just fantastic). That photography is also wonderful.

    All round brilliance, Bogdan; you are a very skilled man.

  9. Thank you all again.
    I have to admit that the kit quality helps a lot.

  10. Beautiful build of an outstanding icon of aviation!

  11. Was away on holidays so a little late reply - a wonderful job, Bogdan and very nice to see her finished! I guess we'll be seeing a lot of 21s in the future, ah? 😉
