Mig 21 PF - 1.48 (Eduard Profilpack)

[takeslousyphotos]

Right....... Break over......... and seeing as how USS HORNET is still on it's way from the Far East I decided to break this one open.............. and it's going to be a right challenge I think. The destructions are in a nice shiny booklet but trying to identify the parts takes bloody ages.......... The numbers are sort of moulded on the sprues but not very clearly and finding each sprue (i.e. A,B, C etc) is damn near impossible ......... Apart from that, the mouldings look well detailed, with no flash, and few pin marks.............


Anyway, the front wheel well is together................. and Mig 21 PF - 921st Fighter Regiment of The Vietnam Peoples Air Force is under way.......... It'd be nice if I don't "Cock it Up".

I just spent two hours putting the gunfight or radar screen (or whatever the Damon thing is). Four itty bitty little bits that proper stretched my limited modelling skills and tried my patience to breaking point.................But I`'ve done it. All the rest of the cockpit parts are cleaned up,tomorrow I can get a bit of paint on...........Then I can do battle with the PE .........

Curse you! Now I have to get a move on, this is the one and scheme I am doing for group build! I know what you mean about the sprues, but I just realised, if you dab some white paint (or colour of your preference), then just paint over the A, B, C etc (when you can find it anyway!).


I did wonder if I could get away with forgetting some of the parts I have to say. If you wait until I catch up, you can watch and learn how not to do it :P

Believe me Neil, I only just started, and I`m way ahead in "Learning how not to do it"

It helps to get it done I find.

1st stage of the cockpit is done. Not much to it.............. The PE for the instruments behaved itself, so I'm quite happy with the result............... The side instrument/control panels are the next assembly and fit into the fuselage sides rather than the cockpit floor. ........ If I could take a decent photo I'd be even happier.

Looks pretty good to me. Lots of detail in there, nicely done so far.

[Robert1968]

Excellent start Peter lots of detail in such a small area

That's a good job, looks like a difficult piece to make and paint
