Hi Mates, I just started this kit

you can see some parts of the cockpit here - the upper part contains 33 parts 😄 what a PE battle
the fit as far as I noticed is quite good
the seat contains 7 resin parts and 13 PE parts when ready
this time there will be no pilot

MiG in all versions ?? as a construction program until retirement 🙂
I like to watch again, my experience is limited to 2 MiG 21 from Edu and the MiG 21 UM from Trumpeter, but I could imagine some European versions still coloring, Edu is unbeatable in quality, unfortunately with some work very complex

Following! Looks great so far. Are you going to build this with the cute bunny on the tail? :-D
7 September 2017, 17:57
Stephan Ryll
Thank you Jens and Michael 🙂
@Jens that will be the last Mig-21 and my retirement is still far far away 🤔 but's a quite a complex cockpit
@Michael no not the bunny version

wenn der Ruhestand noch in weiter Ferne liegt, dann würden ja die Eduardversionen bis dahin reichen 😄 und Alclad Farben können die Zeit noch verdoppeln 😄

Ach Jens ich hab noch soooo schöne Bausätze im Schrank und der Geduldigste bin ich leider nicht immer 😉
7 September 2017, 19:17
Jens
und was die Hersteller noch schönes in den nächsten Jahren bringen ...., da reicht die Zeit mit der Pension auch nur knapp 🙂 🙂 🙂 Geduld hatte ich auch nie, aber drängen lasse ich mich auch nicht gern 😄

Thank you Spanjaard 🙂

@Jens der Wunschzettel ist lang 😄 die Buccaneer in 1:48 steht ganz oben

👍 🙂 bei mir sind es mehr die Suchoj , meine Su 2 war der Start ins Verderben 😄, aber die Helis werden auch mehr und mehr im Lager 🙂 , lassen wir das OT, die MiG von Edu ist einfach nur Genial, bei der Trumpeter passen ja leider die Zubehörteile nicht ganz, weder Pavla noch Eduard Sitz, und an der UM wollte ich den Cockpitset verbauen, nur dann geht nichts mehr zu ....

👍 🙂 for me it is more the Suchoj, my Su 2 was the start to the spoils: D, but the helis are also more and more in the camp 🙂, let the OT, the MiG of Edu is easy only genial, with the Trumpeter fit unfortunately unfortunately the accessories not quite, neither Pavla nor Edward seat, and at the UM wanted I the cockpit set, only then nothing goes to ....

Stephan Ryll
Suchoj's are great planes a Su-24 would be my choice 😄
Of you use a pilot in the cockpit it sometimes happens that the canopy does not close caused by the Trick material of the canopy - but that are details you can deal with your creativity 😉

Not that much progress so far 🙂
coating is on I used dull aluminium from Vallejo - looks quite nice in real
I also did some work on the base plate - added some wash here and there

Gorgeous Fishbed Stephan! Seriously, that thing is just flawless. Bravo!!!

David Andrs
Just FYI, the red field of the roundel on wings have to face inwards (i.e towards the fuselage), not outwards. See for example this picture [img1] as a reference. Otherwise 👍
 
22 October 2017, 22:48
Stephan Ryll

@Davis - oh shi... that´s a big mistake I made- I wasn´t aware of that. 🤔
