Ricardo Reis Thanks. Eduard PE is very nice but the fit is terrible!

Spanjaard very nice interior

Dave Flitton Watching!!

Ricardo Reis Very small indeed and Eduard PE complicates a fair bit

Mike Daniels Yes please!!

Alec K Nice progress

Nikolas Horianopoulos 1/72????? No way. Somebody may say that these detail correspond to 1/24. Excellent build so far.

Ricardo Reis Thank you!

Bart Goesaert Nice start, I think for the manufacturers it's not always easy to choose the attachment points on a part. A lot of factors come into play that determine the quality of the mold (I sometimes design molded parts IRL, and it's sometimes a bit of giving and taking to get it right...)

Hugo Oliveira Vou acompanhar. O kit parece muito bom a julgar pelas imagens.

Ricardo Reis @Bart, for sure, but, nevertheless, in this case it generates points where cleanup is very difficult, if not impossible; @Hugo, sim, estou a gostar, à parte da limpeza de alguns seam lines e sprue gates, mas é um modelo lindíssimo.

Nathan Dempsey This makes me want to build my Mig-21 kits. Well done!

Ricardo Reis Thank you Nathan.

Choppa Nutta Excellent

Ricardo Reis Thanks!

Daniel Klink Fantastic Result... Extraordinary Paintjob Ricardo... Congrats to this Gem

Ricardo Reis Thank you Daniel.

Robert Paschall Great job, camo work looks really impressive.

Ricardo Reis Thanks. It was great to paint, fortunately, did not have any accident during these process!

Guy Looking good, following.

Łukasz Gliński Me too

Ricardo Reis Thanks guys. Progress will calm down in the next weeks, with the August holidays, but it will pickup after that again.

Rene Scheiblich Wow. Are there any 262 kits that go easy on the putty supply? nice work! Especially on this smaller scale.
And I agree on the MRP RLM66, very dark stuff. Didnt bother with weathering that much as well

Gordon Sørensen Nice progress, Ricardo! The build reviews I have seen all mentioned a "questionable" fit of the engine nacelles to the wings. Looks like you have done a great job sorting that out!

Cuajete Well done so far.

Ricardo Reis Thanks mates, it did take me some time with the putty and sanding sticks, but nothing extremely bad, I should say. Let's see how this progresses now.

Alec K Nice job Ricardo. Following

KlausH Very nice work Ricardo! Excellent paint job!

Ricardo Reis Thanks. Let's see how much of it is visible in the end!

Stephan Ryll Nice progress with that build Ricardo

KOJI OKADA Can not wait for the week end.

Spanjaard curious about the base now

Guy Good progress, looking really good.

Ricardo Reis Thanks. Almost done!

David Thor Great results, can't wait to see her finished!

Clifford Keesler Looking stunning.

Cuajete Well done! Very nice painting work.

Ricardo Reis Thanks mates. Hopefully I'll finish it this week, before going on summer vacations.

Spanjaard looking great Ricardo. almost finish line

Kevin Struemph Terrific photos. Your MiG turned out great!

Bryn Crandell Very nice build! Awesome paint work. The cockpit is amazing.

bobinspokaloo Such nice work!! So many questions!!

Which gloss finish was used before the pin wash? Is it acrylic or enamel? Did you wait until the wash dried before cleaning it up? What did you use to clean up the wash?

Great build.....

Ricardo Reis The varnish is Tamiya X-22 thinned with Lacquer Thinner. You should NOT use enamel varnish when you use enamel based washes, like I did, it would mix up. Yes, I wait for the pin wash to dry and then simply clean it with cotton swabs. If the wash accumulates in a difficult place or is difficult to remove, I use some White Spirit or Odourless Enamel Thinner in a brush or cotton swab to remove it.
