Ryan Hothersall Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The new 1:72 MiG-21MF kit from KP Models which is a modified tooling of the original RV kit, with a few additions like a weapon load of AA-2, AA-8 air to air missiles and S-24 air to ground rockets and done away with the photo etch parts of the original RV kit. Build wise no real issues apart with me getting the main undercarriage a bit crooked, so the aircraft had a lean to one side, so had to break one leg off to reattach it. Basic scheme is from when the aircraft was operated by Egypt. Colours used are Model Master 2053 sand and Model Master 2054 brown on the upperside and Model Master 2038 grey on the underside. Decals are from DP Casper and went on without any issues. Decal sheet For those who don't want to look at the facebook link, the in progress photos are now also available in a Youtube video.

Raceaddict Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Nice one. I love the simplicity of the MiG-21... I'm currently working on my own bis variant, and I'm always very tempted to start a few more from other nations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
