Kingoalie Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Greetings Everyone, Here is my recently finished 1/144th Eduard MiG-21MF kit in Polish markings. I originally intended to build this kit as a Czech bird, but had to repaint the whole thing after I realized I used the wrong shade or gray for the Czech decals. As such, I painted it as the Polish example. The kit is built OOB to include the decals. The seat harnesses are made out of masking tape. Now to get the Eduard MiG-21bis to do a Cambodian bird. Happy Modeling, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 John Nice to see a Mig in Polish colors.. SHE looks SUPERB.. Now I wait for your Cambodian one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks Holmes. I'm afraid it will be awhile before I can get the Cambodian MiG done as I am about to be moving to the Buckeye state. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingoalie Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks, Moritz. I really want to build another MiG-21MF since I have another in the stash. The Eduard kits are gems! I'd be extremely happy if they would come out with a new 1/144th MiG-29. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwissHornet Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 What happened with the KM-1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jose Maria Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Very well done!! Tiny models aren't easy to build, and you did it very well, absolutely realistic. Congrats. Cheers JM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG Mongoose Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Fantastic work and a cool choice of camouflage! I've had a great time with the SMT version and the MF and bis boxings have since joined the stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thanks guys. Swiss Hornet, I'm not sure what you mean; I added a seat harness out of masking tape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwissHornet Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 John, why the upper part of the seat is in interior colour? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) It's not the same as the interior; I think it's the lighting. I mixed some colors to match some photos I've seen. In person, it looks similar to the photos I was using. What color do you suggest it be? I think I could carefully repaint it. Edited July 6, 2012 by John King Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwissHornet Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It should be the same colour as the seat. This time-grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
