Clifford KeeslerPhoto-Etch marathon begins on this one. Will require a little filler around PE parts.

Clifford KeeslerI finally got all of the photo etch installed. Spent 3 hours just building the PE exhaust nozzle. Would of been easier to put a resin one in I think. I did order resin bombs and resin AA-2 Atoll missiles for it. The kit ones were way over sized and poorly detailed. I used the PE aft fuselage bomb racks, and then found a resin set, that would of been much nicer. OH well will remember it for the next one. It is primed back to the exhaust nozzle. will finish painting the nozzle tomorrow and finish priming it. Will take some more pictures then.

Nathan DempseyStill looking nice Clifford. You're making me want to pull out my kit and start on it.

Gareth WindsorSeriously Clifford. You are belting these models out while I'm struggling for bench time. I have spur envy. Looking like another great build.

Nathan DempseyJust lovely work Clifford. I know what a basic (& old) kit this is and you've made it look great. That's one to be proud of.

Slavo HazuchaAh, managed to discover the second MiG!😉 Looks like this one spent some out-of-shelter time under the elements - very nice job indeed 👍

AlexanderThat is one heavily weathered MiG - I like it😉. Turned out very nice.

Clifford KeeslerThank you very much Roland, Slavo and Alexander. Your kind words mean a lot. I personally think I over weathered it a bit. But did not want to take the chance of trying to re-paint areas to tone down the weathering. Although I did see some pretty beat up ones in my reference phptos.
