Mig21 MF

[Alex]

Camo looks GREAT - very nice freehand airbrushing.

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

Oh I forgot to mention I still have 2 full bottles of old formula Johnson's Klear.

Should last a few models

Very nice progress! Looks great!

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!

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. 

 

 

 

 

 

All the best

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?

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

Looks very nice!

Working on the canopy and windscreen. 

 

 

 

 

Happy enough with that, I've never seen that sealant applied smoothly anyway

 

All the best

Gary

Hi Gary, thank you very much

[Garcor]

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
