discussion Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

[Neil]

I had a nightmare with Mr Color Levelling Thinner. I added a small amount to the primer, which is Mr Model, and it turned into syrup! There was no way to AB it - I threw the lot away, it has done the same in the past - maybe I had a bad batch. The canopy is just on with white tack. I also have a load of filler to smooth off on the underside.

Looks good in black Neil. Weird reaction with the primer!

They really should have had one in black, it does look the dogs dangly bits. It will be bare metal though.

OK, first round with the fine silver - it's going to need a second coat. Also, when I was putting on the stand for the photos, the original plastic 'socket' came unglued and is now inside. Lucky I have more but it will need to be filed down.

Looks like it's coming along well Neil.

You could easily spend a year or more (and a lot of ££) just building their different Mig-21 variants, mine has 5 or 6 colour schemes too so no lack of choice.

Very good progress.

That's very nice indeed!
