Title: MiG-21MF, Eduard 1/72 70141X
Post by: No.1 on April 21, 2019, 02:56:08 PM
This is so nice material to make one nice detailed kit. Still did not make analyze but I think this will be open cockpit machine. Final markings also not selected, it can be Yugoslav but also Czech republic machine. Will see. First set of material, which will be used at first glance is here.

Continue tomorrow ;)

And then come on my mind that I get more material from Eduard related to this kit and I was right, among few items was this mask and here it is. This is not only mask for cokpit but for various panels on external surfaces. Last steps done today is miunting of landing gear. Eduard did not take attention of conversion of original plastic part which is bottom of cockpit as well top area of nose landing gear bay. So I trim and cut original part and insert it from the nose into proper position.

To regret, I make terrible mistake... I start using decals in 1/48 scale on this kit and I realize it so late. I will put it aside for some poeriod and in some close future I will take to do Royal Class MiG-21 in same scale and this kit will have decals from this box. Sorry... :(
