Damian Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi All!! She's done. The only thing left is to put her on a base which will have to wait for the weekend as payday is on Friday The kit is the Academy 1/48 MiG-21MF. Quite a nice kit that required a minimal filling and sanding routine to get it ready for paint. The inspiration is this profile by Richard of Gekko Graphics fame: My A/c however represents a E.C. 03-03 "Ardennes" machine in 1987 operating in Djibouti. The last one is in because I took all the other pics and then realised that the blade antenna behind the 'pit wasn't painted :P Now she is though! As always crits and comments most welcome!

LaNdStOrM Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nice. every further 21 i see on here makes me want to build one next. Will it have a pole or are you going to carry it with you forever...? ;] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Absolutely awesome! I think the Fishbed looks pretty nice in those colours. Always cool to see a profile turned into reality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackWidow421st Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nice looking Fishbed. I like the camo scheme. Should look dreat once you mount it on the base. Happy modeling, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pirata Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Will it have a pole or are you going to carry it with you forever...? ;] That was too funny. Damian: Nice model! The weathering is really nice: exactly what I would expect for Africa. I had no idea the French used MiGs. Did they really or is this a whiff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damian Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 :D That was too funny.Damian: Nice model! The weathering is really nice: exactly what I would expect for Africa. I had no idea the French used MiGs. Did they really or is this a whiff? Thanks Patman! This is a complete what-if with the colour scheme based off a profile by Gekko1 and the decals from a 1/48 Heller Jaguar A. As for mounting it...I have to wait until payday :) So mounting will take place on Saturday D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Damian Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 The French goverment had a MiG-21? What is the history behind it? Heehee nope. This oneis based off of the MiG-21AL profile by Gekko or Gekko Graphics There's a great Africa thread over on BritMod: Lightnings over Africa With excellent profiles and some great writting. My MiG ties in to that story (in my head) with France moving to secure Djibouti... D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dahut Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It doesnt have the sexy french lines of a Mirage, but it looks cool that way. Nice whiffer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
