MiG-21R Yugoslav Air Force 1971

Villiers de Vos
Very nice metal effects.

Tommy Agne
Thank you Villers. It's a kind of premiere for me.... my first Jet in natural finish for thirty years in building scale Models.

Carlo
Can you tell us what paint products you used ?

Robert Podkoński
Looks good already! This NMF looks very realistic. Remember that these Soviet-produced jets were never too shiny 😉

Tommy Agne
@ Carlo: I use the AK Extrem Metal range (Aluminium, Gunmetal, Burnt Metal and Metal Smoke), and AK and Vallejo acrylics.

@ Robert: Thank you Robert, apprecitate that. Thank you for the hint 👍. I'll pay attention to that in the 'weathering' and 'finishing' stage.

Robert Podkoński
You're welcome, Tommy 😉 Here you can see some freshly-museum-restored examples - the a/c in active service looked more or less like them...

Once in a while you would see a shiny MiG, but it was pretty rare.
