Very cool, I'll be watching this build. It just so happens that I had my first up close experience with a Mig 21 this weekend. For me it was kinda surreal as it was this type of aircraft that was part of the reason I had to do "Duck-and-cover" drills as a kid.

Looking good Sven, did you scratch build the detail in the main undercarriage bay? Keep sending the updates in.
All the best.

Yes,just some basic details,because you only see two sinkmarks from injection.
I will have a update in several days.

Kind regards,Sven.

Good stuff Sven. Don't forget the real wheels are incorrect. Use Equipage (if you can find them) or SBS (forthcoming release) sets instead.... if it's not too late

They are here, at €14 a set... Maybe not worthwhile for you, because you already have the wheel bays constructed.
