So the real fun begins, getting paint down on to her. Starting with the fins, 4 colours to go down on it. The green is hunbrol 120, the sage Humbrol 93. Both are older cans (15yrs old) so coverage is sweet.. Newer Humbrols just cant compete with the older ones sadly.

So first coat is on..Guess which is new humbrol and which is old..

Also, the moment when you look at it.. and reach for your colour conversions again just to make sure..

Don I'd have to agree. She's got MIG's on the brain!

Donald Dickson II
Just do them all in a mad fit of MiG building! Doooooo iiitttttt.😉

Lol we'll see.. This ones going to give me grey hair as it is!

Looks like my colour conversion hint was way outta wack, using humbrol 120 was just too... green, so tried Model master 34258 and its much better.

Tim Heimer
I have to agree! Looking good!

Thats the trick, thin coats, let them build into a nice smooth finish 😄

Further work, canopies are not glued, just plonked on to see how it looks.
Starting to look like a Mig.

Oddly, fit of this one is not as good as the MiG-21F-13 which I did before.

So its coming together, added the missing hoop that sits between the cockpits with some scrap PE.

Looking far more MiG like than last time. Decals are on, need some weathering over them, and then seats, sticks, doors, and front windscreen.. she's nearly done
12 April 2020, 22:36
Tim Heimer
Not bad, not bad! LOL Keep it up Augie!

Clifford Keesler

14 April 2020, 23:14
Augie
Needs a all over matt coat, some final details in the pit, then she's done.
15 April 2020, 23:22
Slavo Hazucha
All things coming together, looking really nice there!
16 April 2020, 07:06
Augie
So other than adding two bits to the back (Which I managed to miss.. dont ask) She's done. Will get some pics of the 4 together at some point.

Donald Dickson II
Dont feel bad Augie. I do the same thing with about the same number of kits. LOL
17 April 2020, 01:53
Clifford Keesler
We did a count today and my wife actually has more pairs of shoes than I have model kits. Imagine that. LOL. I told her she can't holler when I buy my next kit.
17 April 2020, 01:58
Augie
🙂 Excellent, I have more kits than shoes.
17 April 2020, 07:18
Slavo Hazucha
Shoes winning slightly in my corner, but that´s because my stash actually counts 3 (word: three) unstarted kits total 😄

Looking forward to the rollout-pics!
