frogman13 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hi guys, A kit that I've repainted and continually improved over the last 25 years. This one is the very old Revell 1/32 MiG-21PF. This is the link to Aircraft Resource Center from one of this models past incarnations: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal6/5101-5200/gal5142-Mig-21-Okun/00.shtm I found out later (from the author of "Arab MiGs" book, Mr. Tom Cooper)that the camouflage scheme that appeared in his book was completely bogus !! I was so very annoyed by this news, that I stripped the paint and decided to reuse the model this time as an Egyptian MiG. I replaced the wider tail-fin with a narrow chord one supplied in the original kit and took the time to fix multiple issues that I had overlooked in the first build. New intakes, details on landing gear and speed brakes and cockpit were all done before this last paint. I actually enjoy the paint and finishing of built models more than the actual build-up. So here it is, an Egyptian Air Force MiG-21PFS sometime around the early 1970s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

janman Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That's a cool looking camo on a very well built model. I too really like the paintjob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogman13 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 This is one, of the two photos that exist of the actual plane which I used for my paint reference. Glad you liked the result. Ed Okun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niki4703 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 How nice of a result the old Revell MiG turns into! Great job on the detective work you've done to figure out the painting pattern atop the wings Cheers, Niki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
