Mig-21-F13 Revell 1/72 (Finished)

Very nice model for the scale but oh my eyes. Too much small detail causes eye strain. I think I'm done with 1/72 scale. Model built straight out of box except I added a pair of missiles from Eduard. I took a bit of artistic license with the missiles because they are AIM-9B Sidewinders. However, the Soviet K-13 was almost exact copy so that's acceptable.

that's what the 10X optivisor is for. I went from mostly 1/48 down to 1/72 for the majority of what I build, I just got a really good optivisor. Also will be switching from fluorescent lights to LED's here soon.

That finish is fantastic. The whole thing doesn't read as 1/72 at all. Well done!

Very nice! The differant shades of aluminum really look great, and the overall look is top notch. I know what you mean about the scale; when I finish a couple fighters in the works I'm going to limit my 1/72 builds to larger subjects - the small stuff is just too fiddly for my fat fingers.
