Very nice model for the scale but oh my eyes. Too much small detail causes eye strain. I think I’m done with 1/72 scale. Model built straight out of box except I added a pair of missiles from Eduard. I took a bit of artistic license with the missiles because they are AIM-9B Sidewinders. However, the Soviet K-13 was almost exact copy so that’s acceptable.
Nicely done, love the finish. Its a shame your thionking of giving up the scale though.
that’s what the 10X optivisor is for. I went from mostly 1/48 down to 1/72 for the majority of what I build, I just got a really good optivisor. Also will be switching from fluorescent lights to LED’s here soon.

That finish is fantastic. The whole thing doesn’t read as 1/72 at all. Well done!

Very nice! The differant shades of aluminum really look great, and the overall look is top notch. I know what you mean about the scale; when I finish a couple fighters in the works I’m going to limit my 1/72 builds to larger subjects - the small stuff is just too fiddly for my fat fingers.
NMF is awesome. It looks larger than it should be. Nice build!
Your friend, Toshi
Well done!
Sweet work!
Two Mig-21s posts in a week!
I was debating if I wanted to do metallic finish for mine, but ended up goinf for the desert camo.
My build is now featured on Amazon.com under reviews. I’m helping promote sales!
I’m gonna go to my LHS and pick one these up to add to my stash on friday. What shades of metal did you use on it?

Got it!
