For
some time now I was planning to build one JRV (Jugoslovansko ratno vazduhoplovstvo)
Mig 21. I decided to do the first, F13 version, in a NMF scheme. Building it was
an easy and fun thing to do. The Revell kit is the best on the market for this
version of the plane. The only one problem was mounting the glass parts, which
don't fit well with plastic. You can solve all the problems by leaving the
canopy open.

The
model was painted with Alclad II metal paints. Basic color is White
Aluminium. Darker parts of the fuselage and wings were made by adding a
small amount of black enamel to the Alclad colour. Decals are from three
different sets. Roundels are from Lift Here set I 500-72 LH, numbers are
from Mića dekali set for Mig 21 and the stencils are from the decals
that were in original Revell box. Weathering was made with black acrilic
dust.
Hope
you enjoy!
