Scalemates Mig-21 Group Build 2021 - 1/100 Retro-modelling
Very comprehensive and detailed instructions ... sic.
Only for experienced modellers who know Deutsch
Or slavic languages
A lovey box art you don't see quite often ... pure soviet era. I kept this very box from and old kit of the same moulds.
The "modern" box-art .... quite boring
Main parts .. .with all that lovely big rivets.
Small parts ,,, of course with lots of detail. 😉
And decals .,,,,, perfectly in register
😉
😉
Super-detailed cockpit .... with lots of parts. 😉
Main parts being glued together.
Checking for gaps ,,, not much in the uppersides,,,,
Some more in the undersides
There’s a rather big difference in sizes. VEB kit is true to scale wether Tamiya kit is not. I've also hand brushed two coats of Gunze Silver H8. Also I've still manged to keep most that "lovey huge rivets" of old kits. 😉
Painting competed .
... now it's decalling time.
Underwing decal was made from Letrasett and clear decal.
Now it's time for the undercarriage to be glued in place.
Calling it done.

Rui1:100, Yikes! I'm struggling to see the parts on the 1:72 MiG I'm working on now.

Julian Herrero aka YuriI'm rather shocked about the big difference in size between Tamiya and VEB kits so I checked both against good references ... and the result is rather odd ...

Julian Herrero aka YuriVEB kit is spot on in lenght and span ..... Tamiya kit is grossly overscale in length (1/89 scale) and span (1/92) .... so even the VEB kit is more crude , lacks a lot of details and some details are pure phantasy ,,,, is spot in scale

Album info
Another retro-modelling project ... It should be 1/100 scale but is much smaller than the Tamiya Fishbed .... In the end it turned out that Tamiya kit is overscaled. So, in fact, VEB kit is really a 1/100 scale model. As usual in my retro-modelling projects ... no putty , no wet sanding , no airbrushing ,,, just fun ! ,,,, and lots of huge rivets ,,, hahahahahaha
