Eduard - MiG-21R - 1/48

Hi guys.

It's been a while since last update. I was working on it but what I did wasn't really worth showing. I mean, I have no problems whatsoever with the kit, have assembled pretty much whole model and started to paint all small parts, wheels etc.

Ok, taaadaaam:

Wheels:

Wheels bays flaps:

Nose painted:

and exhaust:

Wheels bays finished:

And how it looks like at the moment - A big russian pencil!

I'll mask all painted stuff tomorrow, and hopefully primer it. Now it'll take few days, as each coat of Alclad needs to dry at least 12h..

Quick question. If I want to put Alclads Aluminium on, is it worth to put a glossy finish on before? I've read somewhere that gloss helps with alclad no matter if it's a standard finish or high shine. Haven't really got time to try it before..

Thanks for popping in!

Very nice pencil, ehm, job Bart.

Will you matt the tires more?

@Ziper_it: Thanks. I'll varnish whole model once decals will be on and then just finish to desired standard.

So will you brush it? Which varnish?

This is still a weak point for me.
