That's a great looking build. Love the finish, and the cockpit with the side opening canopy. Very nice all around.
Cheers, Mark

ridleusmc Thank you Mike! I'm toying with the idea of closing up the cockpit. What does everyone think?
Thank you Mike!

I say leave it open... but if you want to play with it, you may want to think about adding some matte coat to the inside of the canopy. It’ll probably be more work than it’s worth, but it might just add that little extra realism.
You did a really bang-up job on this plane. Especially cool given that it lived at Pawel’s home airfield! What are the odds of that?? I’m not a huge fan of jets, but the MiG 21 just has a very cool look about it. Thanks for sharing!
I think you Gentlemen are absolutely right. I'll leave the canopy open. Thank you for all of the kind words. I may take it to a model show this weekend to show it off a little. It definately looks good on my shelf.
Holy cow!
I am just about finished with the Profi-Pack version of this kit. I don't do modern aircraft (anything after WWII really) but have really enjoyed this one. The fit is outstanding.
Looking at your in-progress picks is like looking at my own work area! Uncanny. Metal finish. Clay wash. Kinda creepy.
Kit turned out great and it looks perfect with the conopy open. Cockpit looks great.
I look forward to seeing yours Charley. I guess great minds think alike.
I don't want to brag, but I will. My Mig got a gold medal for 1/48 jets at the Cincinnati Scale Modeler's show today. I guess the judges liked it. Really, I feel honored. There was some tremendous work on those tables.

Thank you Mike,
I know there's no reason to get competitive or seek validation from judges, but it is nice to see evidence that others like my work. I do feel lucky getting gold. There were some very impressive models on that table.
Right on! Congratulations on a well deserved gold medal.
Thanks,
John
