Hi,guys!Long time no see!

Hope you'll enjoy it!

As for the in-progress topic,check here:

MiG-21 "Lancer", In Progress

Cockpit and ejection seat.





The seal is painted by air-brush after tapinng.



The landing gears.



Well,according to the pictures of real things,the wheel plate should be blue.

But I think it not nice enough,so I changed it to the typical Russian green.





Pitot.



Gun.



The "sensor" under the rightside wing.

Exhaust?

Thank you for watching!

Hope you'll like it!

Hello Haneto,
Very nice work!
Only one observation: in the photos appears a Mig 21 Bis (not a FM)!
Romanian Air Force have only one Mig 21 Bis no165/362! and this one belongs to AEROSTAR/ELBIT!
I want to make one too, but in 1/48 scale and I have the same problem with the kit of Academy!
Misu

Very nice work!

Excelent!!!The instrument panel is incorect!!!

I can't belive this is 1/72.
I watch at all the pictures and I've been convince that is a 1/24 Trumpeteer.
Man you are realy a chineese with all those details.

First of all, congratulations for the model, haneto.
A few minor observations:
-as already said, it's unfortunately a bis, not an MF (note the extended dorsal spine)
-6719 is a ficticious serial, no Lancer ever had such number
-Lancer C (or any Lancer for that matter) never had 2 Python IIIs together with R-3s. A more accurate loadout would be an 800l (or 490l as on your model) drop tank on the centerline, 2 Pythons on the inboard wing pylons and 2 490l drop tanks on the outboard wing pylons - that's the usual config. for QRA birds.

also, the underside should be more blueish than grey.

Thank you for your encouragements and advice,guys!

In fact,I didn't make some modification to make a correct MF version from the bis version.That's really a pity especially when I'm now looking at it after finishing...

Really learned a lot from here!Thanks again!

And the kit I used is released by Fujimi in a special version as below:



And the number of the "Lancer",I really have no way to research for the accuracy so I used the decal applied by the kit directly...If only I had asked you before...... :cry:



It contains a Romanian "Lancer" scheme,old Romanian version,Yugoslavia and Crotia,all 4 schemes.

Those who wanna make any of them,I'll recommend this kit because it's more economical.

And as for the underside colour,it recommended Gunze C323 according to the instruction sheet,but I haven't found it until I went for a biz trip to another city,and that time I've already finished the painting...Pity*2 :cry:

Hi haneto!
You should be very proud of what you did. You really did a great job… Congratulations! Your model looks really good. Unfortunately, all Fujimi kits labeled as MiG-21MF are, in fact, MiG-21bis versions, which are a bit different than the MF variants. The most visible difference is that the dorsal spine of the bis version is wider and a little bit longer. It is hard to correct this. I have such a MiG-21 kit from Fujimi and I tried to reshape the dorsal fin but after the first completely unsuccessful attempt I got somehow stuck and… bored. Below you can see the modified pieces I am trying to put together so that in the end the dorsal spine will look like the one on the real MF.

Haneto,

I also enjoyed seeing your model. The paint job and weathering are very good in my view. Keep up the good work.
