Hi Pierre.

Since you have drilled inside the top nose vent it probably means that you won't be correcting the nose and canopy right ?

PS: I'm refering to the Master194 clone thread

Hi Laurent,

You are right, I decided yesterday to do this MIG without the corrections, just for the fun at this time. In deed the main goal in this build is the camo scheme and weathering effects :thumbsup:

But I'm planning to do those changes in my other fujimi MIG-21 in the future.

Thanks a lot for the MIG-21's infos that will be very usefull for my next one. :D

Bye.

what color did you use for painting the cockpit? It looks very weird for me.

Pierre said that in a previous post: "Cockpit painted with interior soviet blue green (xtracolor)". It doesn't look too bad I think: panoramic cockpit view

Ps: modifications I suggested to Pierre

With regard to the fuel tanks, Revell's shape looks closer to those seen in pictures. But none of the fins, at least on the one Revell kit I built, had the same shape. It's not a hard fix, just a little irritating to have to correct something like this.

That said, the Fujimi tank's shape doesn't look so far off that it would be noticeable if slung underneath the kits fuselage.

I guess you have make your choice.

Hi johnsan, thanks for your message :cheers:

I think I will use the revell one, but in this case I will have to sand a lot......

Bye.

I think these PE parts are great !

True but they were designed for this kit. The French expression "donner de la confiture aux cochons" ('cast pearls before swine' in English ?) comes to mind. It's true that it's probably difficult to find PE dedicated to the Fujimi kits nowadays.
