Oh, nice colorful stripy jug Lew! Sorry to leave you solo here. The Mig is masked up for a few touch ups, but I haven't had a chance to fire up the airbrush yet. This weekend I hope!

We'll be here sipping some margaritas and listening to a nice samba until your builds are done....

I would like to say the Bolt is done, but she's been sidelined by the "Oh crap! Nationals are less than six weeks away and I've got three models for club builds to finish."  It's not like I had a year to finish them.  Back in late July, early August.

Ok...so 11 months after starting, finally finished, I present to you Eduard's Mig-21 Bis Castro's Raider using Aztec Decals, Brassin cockpit, wheels, and Exhaust, and a Master Model pitot tube. This kit just rocks! Perfect detail, great fit (even the Brassin parts), and just looks awesome! I did get alittle fed up with the latest weekend boxings because they skimp on the stencils, and a sheet from Eduard is like 20 some bucks!! The kit decals are poor too, but I didn't worry because I had the Aztec sheet. I did have some issues getting them to settle in with Microsol, and almost ruined some with small amounts of Mr. Mark softer. Thanks Stik for putting up with my tardiness!! Hope you enjoy:

Nathan she is a REAL beauty!!! Better late than never! I have added her to the roster of completed builds here. I suppose in another year or two we can have another go at this GB. I still have plenty of Latin subjects in my stash.

WOW! She's just gorgeous Nathan!

Would love to see you use the rest of those 19 sets of decals there if they turn out this well!

Thanks Gamera. I do hope to use more of those decals on future builds, but at my current pace, its gonna be awhile. Perhaps next on a Mig-19, but that means the dreaded Trumpy kitIck!
