MiG-21 pin up

Donald Dickson II
Got the cockpit done. But now I have to figure out what color that nose is. Doesnt seem to be the green they call for in the instructions. Ergh.

Anthony Flanagan
It could be a dark green which would be hard to discern as the nose sits in the shadow of the plane. .02

Augie
Id say its the green but faded... You could try editing the picture an bump the saturation up a little

Donald Dickson II
It seems to be a darker green than the one I usually see. How to manage this...

Augie
Having played with the saturation, its green.

is pretty much what it looks to be

Donald Dickson II
Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Now how to get that color.

Augie
looks like humbrol 88 with a gloss coat

Donald Dickson II
The dark euro green model master color is right close. I have nowhere near me where I moved to the carries humbrol

Augie
The dark euro green should do perfectly.

Donald Dickson II

Yep Augie, the dark euro green did the trick. 🙂

It went together rather well. Only real issue is where the tail meets the hump. Gonna have to do a little sanding to make it flush. But not bad otherwise.

Donald Dickson II
I got it primed, glossed and then alclad aluminum sprayed. Got to go back and do a little bit of sanding and stuff to even stuff up and re apply the paint I screw up doing that.

Donald Dickson II
So most of the way done painting wise. Some touch up work and decals tomorrow.

Donald Dickson II
All done. Not my best ever work, but its OK.
Now to concentrate on the B-1

David Thor
Looks good. The noseart really makes this mig stand out from all the camouflage ones.

Augie
Nice going 🙂

Donald Dickson II
Thank you both. 🙂

Thats why I grabbed the kit David. Something completely different from what you usually see.

Choppa Nutta

Ekki
