stenkabg Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hello! This is my latest model - The Eduard MiG-21 bis in 1/48 scale. I decided to reproduce the Bukgarian Air Force white 114. I like her for her distinctive camouflage colors and reproduced the airplane as seen and photographed by me in March 2012 in Graf Ignatievo AB. The kit is very nice and this is not new to anyone, but I decided to jazz it up with Brassin cockpit, Exhaust nozzel, wheelbays, wheels, some PE for the exterior and Begemot stencils. The main shortcoming of the Eduard offering is the MF like nose, so I modified it to the bis standard with some putty. The paints I used are Alclad II and Gunze, mixed to the proper color shades. Hope you will enjoy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stenkabg Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks guys! ... What did you do to create the tan sealant on the canopy to canopy-frame? Once again nice BIS! and Thanks ahead of time. Jager This is acrilic paint applied to a piece of decal paper, cut in thin strips and then used as a regular decal.

stenkabg Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 What color did you use? I used mixes of Gunze and Tamia acrilics in diferent shades mixed by eye-balling. It has five or six layers of paint to achieve this look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
