Academy 1/48 MiG-21 MF Fishbed J, Syrian Air Force, 1982 Lebanon War
This is a pretty good kit which goes together without problems. There's a bit of a step between the the front and rear fuselage sections that I wished I had paid more attention to. I used Eduard wheels and the AirRes cockpit set. I also tried some tank weathering techniques to add some streaking - I think it adds a bit of realism. Thanks for looking.

The camouflage is very well made from a painting perspective, since I know nothing about how these MIGs were painted by the Syrian AF. It does look very realistic as a whole, I really like it. Well done!

A really nice build with excellent finish! And the Mig-21 is one of my favorite aircraft of all time.

Agreeing with the above gents completely, Richard.
An excellent result!
A beautiful camo, perfectly executed.
I think the tank weathering method suits this desert style worn camo.
Well done!
