1:72 Zvezda MiG-21bis Soviet Union


Recommended Posts

The 1:72 Zvezda kit of the MiG-21bis built in the markings of the Soviet Union. This aircraft wears special Komsomol Guarantee - Excellent Maintenance Guarantee on the starboard side and 17th Congress of Komsomol on the port side.

 

Only issue with this build was this kit had a short shot fuselage half, so there was a piece missing out of the intake, which was fixed with plastic card, filler and super glue.

 

The AA-2 Atoll/AA-2-2 Advanced Atoll missiles came from the Dragon Air to Air Missiles weapons set, also robbed an extra pair of missile rails from another kit.

 

Colour used is overall Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver.

 

Decals are from Begemot. They went on without any trouble. Option 9 on the sheet.
