Impressive. I had no idea the Mig-21 was this large. Something off on the Phantoms upper left wing, maybe the masking tape grabbed the paint? Or is this original? Looks like maybe a large decal painted over or something.

Many thanks for all your encouraging words!
@treehugger, originally this is the result of painting some USAF Grey Phantoms in the field with the three Tone Camouflage. On this particular aircraft also the underside remained in glossy White, Not Grey. After some time the Paint showed Off the original Grey colour And insignias.
Cheers, Christian

Wow Christian, those are two beautiful kits, and that phantom is absolutely phenomenal...! 👍👍 How did you make those damages, for example at the intakes?

Cool couple and display of all kinds of weathering techniques - to a really believable and theatre-proper result 👍

Great result on both kits! I like the Phantom more, because of its unusual loading. I had to dig in the web to find photos of unusual loadouts, with one being the specific Phantom. Thank you Christian!

Many thx for your comments mates! Alberto, I weathered the MiG with additional NMF Colours from AKs extreme metals colour range. For example place some "Dark Alu" spots on "Alu".
