A fine Cuban Bis. (Eduard Mig-21)

Just finished this build for Stikpusher’s Latin American GB. Its a little past due but its now done and it was a fine build. The Eduard Line of Mig-21’s are fantastic. Great detail, plenty of options, and perfect fit, even when loaded with Brassin Items such as this build. I fitted the Brassin cockpit and Exhaust nozzle, along with Brassin wheels and a Master Model Pitot tube. The Weekend kits are a bit lacking in essentials, as Eduard now no longer offers stencils with them, and the decals they do give you are of a lesser quality. I ended up using decals from Aztec for this bird:

The 4 color top camo was a bit tricky and I ended up mixing a few of the shades from Gunze colors. Here’s a shot of the brassin pit and seat:

Comments/Critiques welcome.

Looks great! The weathering underneath on the blue parts looks really good!

Wow Nathan that is one awesome looking Mig! Fantastic job!

Well done, Nathan!

That’s beautiful work Nathan! A fantastic rendition of an iconic Cold War aircraft, congratulations on an excellent model dude.[:D[

I started this very kit yesterday, I hope mine turns out half as good as yours. Excellent work!

Thanks for the comments guys. Glue Bomber- No reason you shouldn’t have a great looking kit in the end. Eduard did right on this one.

I think you need to share with us more photos of of this beautiful bird!

Awesome bird! Great looking MiG! And I agree with Stik…more pics!

The only critique I could offer is WOW!! Awesome build.

=] Beautiful. I agree…drop a few more detail shots for everyone. =]

Told ya I found it. I’m with the “WOW” crowd. Nice. Since yours came 1st I have to say it looks like I stole your bang seat. Better go check your shelf [whstl] What blue is that?

Ewww Weee! That’s a killer Nathan! Great lookin’ Fishbed dude. Beautifully built and painted![:D[

Hell, I like it so much, I commented twice! Damn this old age…[*-)]

Gary Gary, better better twice twice than than not not at at all all…[;)][;)]

Man, you can say that again…[;)]

Man, ain’t no old thread safe from you guys around here…Glad you found it and like the build. …and I am gonna go check for my seat cause I remember not glueing it down, it fit so well[:O]

Man, what an eye for color you have ! it looks just like the pic of the real thing.

I’m impressed with your ambitious 4 color camo too. I’m working up the courage to try a 3 color on my F-6 and that’s just straight line blues and grey.
