10April 19, 2023Narrow ring inside exhaust casing and sharp end of cone added.
11April 19, 20230,2 mm gap cancelled by adding PCV plate at the end of wing part (end not front !)

13April 19, 2023First layer of paint.
14April 19, 2023Wash
15April 19, 2023Imitation of tanks (oxygen and ???) added
16April 19, 2023Tanks are visible 🙂
17April 22, 2023Very little gap between parts appeared - see small, thin (0,1mm) white line. On both sides so I think it's a project's problem. Filled with Tamiya PLA Paper 🙂
18April 22, 2023Some other parts (flaps, stabilizers)
19April 22, 2023And even smaller parts with drilled holes
20April 22, 2023Small gap appeared again - this time I think it's my mistake :/
21April 22, 2023I forgot drill holes in wings before gluing halves - now it was a bit harder to drill them and do not make holes through
22April 22, 2023Fuel tank bar & canon (broken during drill holes)
23April 22, 2023Repaired cannon

33May 1, 2023exhaust
34May 2, 2023Ch-23 from ResKit - base for (C)h-66, which were used in Poland.
35May 2, 2023Just to see how H-66 fits to MiG 🙂
36May 2, 2023I'm not sure should I use panel liner to highlight all rivet lines etc. It can be to "cartoon" with this livery (and preshading). Any advice?
37May 6, 2023armament frame deciphered v.002 (1/2) 😉
38May 3, 2023armament frame deciphered (2/2)
39May 4, 2023H-66 on APU-68
40May 8, 2023After a little research, it turned out that the MiG-21MF-75 in gray livery could not carry H-66 missiles. MF-75s were used only in the National Air Defense Forces. So I changed the concept again and made RS-2US and R-3S missiles
41May 12, 2023Find, cut, soak, stick, soften, remove film, mark on diagram and so on for days.... Stencils...
42May 12, 2023Find, cut, soak, stick, soften, remove film, mark on diagram and so on for days.... Stencils...

Album info
MiG-21MF-75 - one of 20 MiG-21MFs delivered to Poland, produced at the Gorky factory. It was painted an unusual "dove" gray - as it turned out later with radar-absorbing paint. Armament as for a pair of duty aircraft.
