Academy 1/72 scale Mig-21 Fishbed

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Got this from Duke a few months back. Thank you again! Took 3 days to build since my return from Cape Cod Wednesday.

Finnish Air Force Mig-21. Went for the simple camo scheme here instead of bare metal overall color. Paint used: Testors Flat Green and Mr. Color Propeller Brown.

Compare size to 1/72 Hasegawa F-14 Tomcat in the background. The Mig-21 is a small fighter jet.

That looks great!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looks good Tom. 3 days?! Wow. He's closing in on the Tomcat - too close for a missile shot, switch to guns! :giggles:
Thanks,
John
