The Mig-21 chronicle (4).

A new update on this project. The avionics compartment behind the cockpit fitted much better than the cockpit, both from Aires. I only added some wires.

The windshield and canopy detailed and painted only in the inner side, so far. I used Eduard photoetched sheet and some scratch pieces.

At this point the model is ready to paint the main landing gear wells and assemble the wings.

  1. Amazing work, from what you make the cables and wires behind the cockpit(red and yellow ones)?

    The cables are made with 0.3 and 0.4mm thin lead wire (from Plusmodel)

    1. I didn´t use any premade color. I made a mix of white, blue and green from Tamiya until match with the photos I had. It is pretty easy. To paint this color is better to prime the cockpit in glossy white before applying the cockpit color. Otherway it may look too dark.

  4. Hola.
    Felicidades por tan maravillosos trabajos. Hace años monto motos 1:12 y F1 1:20, se me esta despertando interes en aviones, por casualidad he encontrado su maravillosa web. Deseo preguntarle, esas piezas mecanicas, botones, etc que aparecen en los huecos abiertos del fuselaje tras el cockpit son algun tipo de accesorio resina/fotograbado que exista en el mercado o bien son scratch?.
    Muchisimas gracias y un cordial saludo

    1. El compartimento superior es una pieza de resina de la marca Aires, con unos cables añadidos. Los otros tres compartimentos son completamente de construcción propia.
      Muchas gracias a tí :)
