  1. Beautiful work on this Indian MiG21, Rafi @blackmopane
    Quite a unique camouflage scheme, did you apply those stripes with airbrush?

  2. Excellent build and scheme! I'm also a fan of all the liveries worn by the -21. The Eastern Bloc version of the Phantom...

  3. Excellent job and super result, Rafi! As always, painting and weathering is supreme!

  4. Really nice work on that camo scheme Rafi.

  5. Great job with the camouflage work, this scheme always reminds me of a Siberian Tiger and this scheme is also on my ‘to do’ list.

  6. Great Mig, Rafi. The Academy 21 is noticeably beefier when parked next to an Eduard kit, but as you say it still makes a nice model. I still have one of those in the stash to eventually finish as an Indian FL.
