This sucker has been looming over my head so long so here the finished product. No Decals on this one I am using Adastra masks for the Roundels and Bort Numbers. The bird I wanted to build was this:
I saw something like this on Dogfights and thought it would be a great match up for my "Dogfights of the 20th Century" pairing. This was I had almost 100% completed a Chinese F7-II I went into this thinking All MiG-21 are all the same--- WRONG!!!! The Chinese bird is close to the first version of the "Fishbed" What I needed was A PFM version. I had to kinda scratch a Radar screen on the IP (pics are earlier in this thread) then eventhough the two 30mm cannons looked pretty I had to RIPP THEM OUT which left a trench deep enough for Richard Cameron to take a bathyscaphe to the bottom. so mucho putty and sanding and I scribed a pair of airbrakes to look right. (The PFM had NO gun at all everybody was all about their crappy missiles and the PFM and most of the Phantoms had no guns) on sorry for the tangent. So there I was loking at this thing going what the hell am I going to do. So Finally getting the MF gave me the nudge to try to do this bird. The dogfight idea started in June 2011 and I figured out that I should "dance with the one that brung me" and Warren's nudge was all I needed to get this mother out!!! HERE IT IS:
