Eduard Mig-21 SMT Weekend edition
Dorsal spine seems a bit fiddly in the beginning but once cemented, lightly clamped and the bulkhead reinforcement pieces placed inside - its sturdy, symmetrical and mats beautifully to body with reassuring click.
The kit colour call out for cockpit is H-46 Emerald, but as you can see just does not match the Eduard PE. Thanks to some helpful forum suggestions, I mixed H-46 with H-25 50/50 and it turned out ok
Once again, Scalemates auto rotates the image!
Color mix is a better match this time, not 100% but at scale looks ok to me
Various shades of Vallejo metal colors... just love this range
Procon boy PS-290, stynelrez primer and lots of air! Blows the primer on in seconds. Super coverage gun for priming and gloss coats
You want a nice shiny metallic? Use the Mr Color GX2 gloss black - brilliant
Various shades of Vallejo metal colour, ignore the overspray on the camo - this was all fixed up later
First time experimenting with Mr Color with MLT through my new Badger Sotar 20/20 - brilliant combination!

Nazid KimmieDry fit of fuselage to enclose cockpit - excellent fit all round, bit tricky with all the bulkheads and sub-assemblies that have to be sandwiched in there, but buttons up quite nicely

Nazid KimmieEduard should take some credit for that, its a beautifully engineered kit by far the best in this scale and a masterpiece of the model making process. Pity they are let down by some very so, so ordinance fit and detail is pretty ordinary. A great mojo restorer, will definitely build another.
