About the aircraft:
MiG-21R - representative of the third generation of MiG-21 aircraft. 36 aircrafts of this variant were used in Poland.
About the copy:
MiG-21R with the side number 1507 - one of MiG-21Rs stationed at the 32nd Tactical Reconnaissance Air Regiment at Sochaczew. During second major overhaul at Wojskowe Zakłady Lotnicze Nr 3 (Military Aircraft Works No. 3) at Dęblin it was painted on "ashy" livery using very matt and... impermanent paint. Presented with "R" pod (radio-electronic reconnaissance).
About the model:
The base was Eduard's kit "MiG-21MF Interceptor" in 1/72 scale. Pod and wingtips from KP kit. The cocpit from Eduard's kit "MiG-21PFM".
Own decals, Bilmodel paints.
"Family" picture - two from planned 12 variants of MiG-21 used in Poland finished 🙂
Very well done indeed. You've captured the essence of the Mig-21. Thank you for the great photos too.
Another stand-out model, and looks great with it's brother!
Very nice MiG, and those panel lines are excellent.
This second one is equally beautiful, Konrad @konrad
Beautiful photography as well.
Looking forward to see the complete collection of 12 aircraft.
@johnb - thank you, but it will take a "while" 🙂
The next in line (MiG-21PF) was not completed - I have to make this model again (too thick a layer of clearcoat deprived it of details...). I am temporarily resting at the... MiG-21PFM 🙂
Excellent job, Konrad! The Bilmodel paints seem to work very well.
Congratulations!
Bilmodel paints are "airbrush ready" and have a one BIG advantage - they dry in a few moments. If you have not too much time for hobby it's a game changer.
However, it must be admitted that they also have a disadvantage - they smell 😀
Really sharp looking MiG. Well done!
love it! really a nice looking build- great job!
Great looking result on those MiGs. @konrad
Another great Mig, Konrad!
Well done, Konrad
Very nice looking MiG 21, I just wish they weren’t so noisy, ask me how I know.
That's a super build Konrad. Very very cool. Nice one 😊
Great job, Konrad @konrad! 👏 👍
