Hi all,

I finished my Zvezda MiG 21bis in 1/72th scale. I have seen very nice planes in this campaign already, i'm a little ashamed to show mine. But the motto is, doing is learning so here is the result:

Sanding and filling


Prepaint


The underside


The nose art




The MiG 21bis in Soviet service


Paints used are revell enamels and tamiya gloss varnish before adding decals, after that, vallejo matt varnish and a black wash with promodellers wash. The cammo pattern is fictional, maybe it has some resemblance with Soviet Mig's that flew in Afghanistan, although in reality it needs to be more shattered with smaller dots, like the Mig 21 in the earlier topic in this campaing. That one is very very nice done.

Thanks for viewing, comments and suggestions welcome!

Ronald, a beautiful piece of model building indeed! The MiG 21 is a great subject to build, sometime I hope to build one as well. Russell

Nice build, Ronald. I see your point with the camouflage, but overall it looks very good. Nice subtle weathering.
Are you going to add any underwing stores?

Thanks for sharing
