Laurent Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Hello guys. Here are some pictures of an not too recent build of mine. I'm a MiG-21 fan but I wanted to put the inaccuracies issues aside and build a good ol' Matchbox kit. The MF/bis Matchbox kit release follow their first MiG-21 kit (boxart: An NMF MiG-21 PF/PFM on a runway). In the old release, the fuselage was 1 - 1.5 cm too long and the canopy was badly mishapen. Matchbox retooled the fuselage and canopy parts to change the version depicted but that's all: Nothing to hang under the wing, there's only a centerline tank to stick under the fuselage. Still, it can be turned into a nice little deskmodel. I looks like a MiG-21... if you're a few feets away :lol: Self criticisms about my build: - Forgot to put the pilot in the cockpit :unsure: - Green oversprays - The sand-yellow should be more "sandish" Feel free to make any comments.

madmike Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I got 14 Matchbox kits last week and my stand stash has topped up, but the Matchbox multi pose stands are sorely missed!! MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
