Thanks gamera. Only advise I can give is be careful bot to over do the top coat. easy to cover it all up.

Marc,

I don't know what to say other than I love everything about that build. My favorite part is the paint and markings, but man, you did a STELLAR job on this one!

Gear doors. LG hydraulics, ELINT pod and weapons wraps up this build. Got to be honest... kind of sad this one's over. The weapons are from Eduard. Rocket pods were a simple 2 part affair but the 1 1/2" long RS-2US missiles were 10 parts.

Thanks to all that followed along.

Great colors and a great job, Marc! I'm not usually much for Soviet aircraft, but the -21 just looks right. I may have to pick one of these up.

Marc,

Great looking MiG. Love the different Cuban scheme. Great job all around, thanks for sharing. makes me want to dig out my Eduard Mig thats for sure (although it would be a European scheme if I recall correctly).

Thanks for posting.

Amazing job Marc, that's a really nice build. And that scheme is really different and looks great. And thanks for the explanation on the black basing.

Nice finish here! Rocket pods and missiles are a nice touch. The markings turned out great. I see you got the Cuban Roundels to settle nicely against the raised detail on the rear of the fuselage. Yes
