Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 MF
As the profipack, the kit comes with extra detail and of course masks. Only problems occurring was a tiny gap in the wing root, flimsy front landing gear and a slight bent nose aerial. Painting was done in Tamiya and Revell paints, both airbrushed and hand painted (as always), weathering Florymodels wash and varnished with XF-86 (Anyone else use this?)
Not a huge jet person, but have to admit I loved this one!
Very nice work as usual Michael, I'm looking forward to seeing this next we meet up.

Hey Neil! Thanks for the comment. You popping to Cosford this weekend?
Well done Michael. I built the PF weekender version two years ago and loved every minute of the build too. I had a similar problem at the wing fuselage join at the rear underside. Some plastic shim fills the gap but other than that it was a joy to build.
I'd agree with the gear particularly the mains, they are a bit 'story'.
Good one.
Thanks Michael. Yeah the gear is still very flimey, think it depends how much weight you put in
Despite any minor problems encountered, this turned out nicely, Michael.
Thanks Craig π
Nice work! I'm a big Mig-21 fan and love that kit. Thanks for sharing.
Like mentioned, this is my first jet in a while. Thanks John π
Very nice build, Michael.
I had that kit on my bench a while ago but postponed it for the time being. I described my way to deal with the gap at the wing roots here:

I basically like XF-86. When it's newly painted it looks very attractive. As it creates a rough surface, however, when handling the model it's easily polished to some greasy appearance and so I stopped using it.
Thanks for the comment and link Halvar! π
A good-looking MiG-21! Nice work.
Thanks Greg π

Very nice job on the camouflage, this color scheme with Russian markings is not seen much, one always see's the Mig-21 under Russian markings in silver ( that is my view ).
Nice work Michael.
