MiG-21PF (76)

Stripes of PLA paper were added just for better fit between halves of wings.

Wings ready for assembly.

As usually in Eduard's MiGs a 0,2 mm PLA insert was needed to cancel a gap between fuselage and wings.

This aircraft may have been used with a Monsoon beam (?), which allowed two R-3S rockets to be carried under each wing. The parts needed for the Monsoon beam are on the "H" frame, but are described as "unused parts."

Pylon, Monsoon beam and two launcher beams together. Nice tower 🙂

Probably new modification of MiG - canards 😉. 0,1 mm PLA paper fills a gap between parts.

Outlet nozzle cover sanded - a minute's work and the effect is much better than straight out of the box.

The exhaust nozzle cover and the previously modified nozzle tried on the model. Eduard won't make money on aftermarkets

The inlet cone traditionally does not fit in the ring. After a while, I thought about filing out the notches - bingo! Why didn't Eduard do it as standard?

Small parts glued up, light primer and "non-metallic" colors laid down. Now a quick masking and you can lay the primer for the metallics 🙂

2K gloss varnish on metallics - changes "a bit" colours, but for decals it's a must 🙁

Sorry, but I have to remove 2K gloss varnish and paint model again or... find a new kit. The varnish layers are unacceptably thick and the model loses detail 🙁

Hi Konrad. I would not go with this strong shadowy look...
Would paint metallic again and then seal it with Alclad ALC600 or Glänzer or AK Gauzy... all are basically the same water-based gloss. All also level perfectly if applied with a nice wide brush.

Unfortunately Sergej I have to agree with you. I put a 2K varnish on the model and... I lost a lot of sharpness of details 🙁 I'm looking for PF overtrees 🙁

make it an abandoned Mig-21, just add dust and streaks so that you don't have to trash the kit.
