Toby's mysterious Mig " Finished"

[Dazzled]

Did you wake up with it glued to your head?

That would've been a result

I wouldn't suggest trying to do anything after two bottles of sake other than finding a comfortable sleeping position - preferably not face down on the pavement or under a hedge

Or in a cell...

Been there. Done that

Version 2.
After the sake/glue incident of Saturday night I've started again.
This time I mixed Vallejo light turquoise with Akan grey blue to tone down the brightness and I think it's worked.
Also I didn't use any nose ballast initially so took the opportunity to do so now.
Added some minor detailing to the cockpit as well

Good to see version 2 is underway Toby. A wise decision with the nose weight as I think the -21 is a tail sitter otherwise.

Does the Cuban version have a cigar cutter and ashtray in the cockpit?

I don't think the body panels have been rolled on the thighs of Cuban lovelies either

I hope I've added enough.

Version 2 update

Looking sweet Toby.

I do prefer the early versions, before they became overweight beasties.

[ShaunW]

That is looking good Toby. There is a purity of line with the earlier MiG-21 models, before the type began to sprout its various lumps and bumps.

[TobyC]

For some reason I've got a bit bored with this.
It could be that as I've got the cockpit interior colour a tad wrong I'm dreading taking the masking off to what might reveal something rather garish.

[Dazzled]

It looks good to me Toby.

And on the bright side, given the speed you're getting these together, you have plenty of time to build another.

This could turn into a "Squadron of Mig-21s GB"

[ShaunW]

It looks like you've managed a decent paint finish in that Toby. I don't know how much of the cockpit interior will be visible through the glass but hopefully you'll be satisfied with it and your enthusiasm will return.
