Here is my progress so far copied from a few threads...... It's turning out to be alot of fun
Just got started on a couple of resin cockpits.... Flanker cockpit is the Aires one... and the Mig-21 MF is a cheap black box cockpit I picked up for $5 at a show... Im doing a Flanker build with a few guys on this forum..... and just doing the Mig 21 cockpit for some practice before starting my 1/32 scale one.....
Paints are by AKAN... they spray really nice as long as you thin them with DI water.... DONT use Alcohol or windex with them....
Got a little more progress done..... sorry about the pic quality I didnt have a chance to fix white balance and exposure issues with software yet..... THese are the white metal landing gear... painted with dark anodic gray metalizer(lower) and Gunze engine gray (upper) the metal gear from SAC was a pleasure to work with....
finally git the quickboost nose to fit flush.... it was a little larger by 1.13 mm ... so I glued it then mated them and rescribed..... I will start priming the exterior tonigbht... cheers
A little more progress... got my preshading done.... yes a bit messier than some of you guys.. but I have found a method I like..... using both black and white primer for my preshading.... It kind of helps give that scale effect....
Got my Steel heat shields done on the engines and gun..... I used Alclad (Steel, Pale Burnt Metal, Stainless Steel, Magnesium, Hot metal Sepia, Blue, and Violet, and transparent smoke.... then coated with alclad light sheen.. I was horrified to see the paint chip on the left engine Ive got to fix that . then cure before i mask and start the splinter scheme..... Doing Ukrainian Red 56 Last pic is the missles AA-10 from Eduard Brassin,..... I just laid down the titanium metalizer for the control surfaces.... then I will shoot white amd airframe aluminun .... cheers
