This really is a trip into history. I wish you well with your work on the model. And I'll be happy to follow the progress.
The drop tanks used on the Mig you are building are the original (older) version. They were attached directly to the wing (no hinge) and did not have stabilizing ailerons on the end. This type of tanks had one unpleasant feature. When dropping the empty tank, the tank rolled on the wing. This was annoying because it could damage the control surfaces. Therefore, these tanks were replaced by a new type with stabilizing surfaces at the end of the tank and these tanks were suspended on a wing hanger (tanks of this type are in the kit). This solution eliminated the rolling problem.

Ludvik, thank you for the details. I did not know that. I imagine they usually did not drop the tanks on trainers.
I also masked the canopy last night. The molding of the frames are a bit vague and lots of curves so it will require some cleanup after painting.

Ben, you're right that trainer planes didn't usually drop tanks. In peacetime, in normal use, even combat aircraft don't drop tanks (except in emergency situations or exercises).
The purpose of my comment was merely to explain why the tanks on Indonesian aircraft differ from those in the kit.
I look forward to following your progress and wish you a lot of fun building the model and the result to your liking.

Well the other night I got frustrated with the Vallejo gloss black primer clogging my airbrush, so I added some Mr leveling thinner and gave it the worst orange peel ever as this is totally incompatible with the paint. I thought I could selectively strip the paint with windex but while that kind of stripped the paint it also dissolved a lot of the perfect plastic putty and also dissolved the canopy pva glue and masking. Also I broke off a wing and a horizontal stabilizer. So a bit of a setback.
I have constant problems getting the Vallejo gloss black primer to not clog my 0.4mm nozzle.
