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.

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!

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.
