How did you like the kit?

Thank you all for the comments. Luc B the photography sucks i will do another one when the lighting and te background for my new softbox is ready.
About the kit i was impressed by the surface riveting and the level of detail.I think is the best f-13 so far for the scale.But it has some issues:

Nose should be replaced by an after market. It has wrong intake detail
Body have (at least mine had) various sinkmarks that should be filled. 6 pairs on the main fuselage.1 on the left top wing.There are hard to spot.You can find 6 more dots to fill: 4 on the wing tips (upper and under) and 2 near the exhaust bottom left side.Those 2 last i forgot to fill.

The 6 pairs + 1 on the top are bumps,not sink marks. The other 6 dots are easy to locate ,i see many modelers let them unfilled probably thinking there are real details.

I really like what you did. What's the story on the national insignia on the rt wing and rt side of fin? You really could use a pilot, unless he bailed out over Miami. LOL

HAHAHahaha nice one Gary. Yea sorry pilot is missing in action. The rest modellers...thank you all.

The white circles are painted to cover the red stars. Forty migs in 1962 are delivered to cuba by sea into crates.For secrecy they covered the red stars with white pait. Cubans later placed their insignia over them..

More details you can read on the begemot instruction pdf begemotdecals.ru/doc..%20MiG-21%281%29.pdf

very nice model and excellent photography and computer added background

Aris Grey
Hey, nice to have comments in an old build. 🙂 Thank you mates. Ευχαριστώ Νίκο. The background Spanjaard is a blue backdrop paper not added in computer. I think, if i remember good, i added the clouds or blurred the surroundings in photoshop a little.
