Mig-21MF

That turned out great.  Never associated acrylics with NMF.  Impressive!  Really nice job on a very cool airplane. 

The Mig is done.

Academy Mig-21MF Czech airforce 1989 in 1/48.

Decals. Areomaster cold war fishbeds.

Paints. Vallejo, A/K Soviet aircraft colors set and tamiya clears.

I had a lot of fun playing with these metal paints. Im happy with the build but still looking for other NMF acrylic paints. Thank you for your comments and for watching.

Nick..

s.t.u.a.r.t.. thanks for watching.

new belly tank in place painted with ak Xtreme metal enamels and tamiya clear flat.

WOW! That is a fab looking Fishbed. The NMF looks superb 

PJ. many thanks. Finished up with all the tiny stuff, now for the rockets..

Oh my!  

almost there some updated pics.

Thank you Philo426. with postimages back up here are my latest pics.

sprayed tamiya clear flat over all and the hard points,doors speed brakes.

Looking great!

some latest pics fitting some small stuff..

I'm liking acrylics more and more made a mistake on rails sprayed windex the paint just drips off dry part and spray again. I still have a place for enamels.

Latest pics I did do some light streaking with oil paint, next to cut some shine off with some Tamiya clear flat.

Yes those rocket launchers are prime for some cool weathering!

Philo 426 and Tank-builder many thanks, just about done with the pannel wash. I will start on some weathering and move on to weapon hard points..

Oh Boy!

 Now that is looking nice!

Nice looking plane!

Philo 426. nice unified mig-21, I want to make a camo mig some time soon.

Plasticjunkie. Many thanks its the vajello series. I just ordered Lifecolor aircraft perfect metal set, still looking for that worn metal look with acrylic's.

NMF looks fantastic. 

I made that kit!

that nose decal was a little difficult, muiltiple coats of micro sol... I gave a light coat of tamiya gloss clear to seal decals and started pannel wash with tamiya's black pannel wash. All else besides some windy down pure weather and a gout flair up .

Real G. Yes. I have the same problem with the Mig-21PF with the academy kit, but the 21MF seemed to aline much easier. That is the tricky part of these kits especialy when a nose weight is in place and gluing it to the other half of fuselage.

That Fishbed is coming along very nicely!

I have the PF version and had a problem with the forward fuselage join “pinching”.  I propped the fuselage up from the inside with a bit of sprue but it didn’t help much.  The speed brake wells also resisted my best attempts to align them.  Did the Bis version have the same issues?

The decals are on, using aeroerror decals...error on my part, will get fixed down he road.

tempestJohnny. Its called cockpit turquoise it came in the AK interactive Soviet aircraft colors 1950-1970, its pretty good stuff.

CapnMac82. Yes I have several shades of Russian cockpit blue/green. This one is the most colorfull, it is said it reduces eye fatigue for the pilots instead of black or gray pannels. Thanks its vallejo metal color pretty tough stuff it paits well and masks real good .

There is something to be said for being able to set aside the Zinc Chromate for a while.

That's a really nice NMF by any measure.

Thanks guy's my latest pics. trying new paints... and some test fitting.

Very articulate work sir.  Looking forward to more!

Your friend's, Toshi & Ezra

Well;

 A comfortable color for the Office!
