I love MiG-21s and you've built a beauty!   Wow!  Makes me want to try another one to go with my Iraqi 21 but I doubt I could ever match that.   That's a great job.

I love it!!!!

Excellent job. The Mig 21 and the F4 Phantom are my two favorite jets in modern aircraft. Is it the Eduard or Academy kit?

I really like the shot of the closed canopy! The shine on that is great. Did you use future or how did you achieve that clear glossy look? The rest of the build is very nice also but I kept coming back to that one shot. Thanks for posting.

Nice looking Mig-21.  I really like the camo.  You did an excellent job painting.  As previously mentioned, the map as a backdrop adds a real nice touch to the photo.
