Garcor Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 (edited) A bit more progress, First round of painting finished. A good coat of klear for gloss finish to seal the paint and prep for decals Will leave the klear harden overnight then hopefully start the decals All the best Gary Edited August 11 by Garcor Tony T, BradG, MikeMaben and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garcor Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Oh I forgot to mention I still have 2 full bottles of old formula Johnson's Klear. Should last a few models LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggz Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Nice work! Here's the 1/12th model of a Mig-21 I saw at the RAF museum in Cosford yesterday. And here's the 1/1 version! Azgaron, Alex, BradG and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garcor Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Nice Mig Some more progress, I don't think the phone camera captures it very well, but decals finished, a sealing coat of Klear over them. Next was a panel wash using brown, black and brown black mixed. When this was finished I sprayed a top coat of matt varnish.

gregair Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 That is a really beautiful Mig-21! May I ask what Vellajo colours you used for the cammo? Were they used straight out of the bottle or mixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Greg, The main camo colours I used are Modelcolor 70.927 dark flesh Modelcolor 70.924 Russian green Modelair 71.101 Rlm78 I used a light coat of modelair 71.294 us forest green to vary the tone of the base green. I'm using a harder and steenbeck infinity cr plus with 0.4mm nozzle/ needle fitted. Paints were thinned with distilled water and sprayed at roughly 12psi or 0.9 bar. Hope this helps Gary LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcor Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Hello again, I think I will call this one done. As you can see I didn't do much with the engine, just basic paint and a dark wash. The ladder, engine and trolley were included in the kit. An enjoyable build, Happy 25th anniversary to LSP All the best Gary Landrotten Highlander, Shoggz, denders and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
