A jet fighter finally made it's way on this channel. This kit was reasonably easy to build, has nice surface details, with the only fit issues being in the cockpit area. I had to shave off quite a bit of plastic from the inside of the canopy and had to actually bend this( 7:39 ) part before mounting. It was sitting way outside of the fuselage. I couldn't manage to make the transparent bits sit properly on the fuselage. They are a bit wider or the fuselage is narrower than it should be but you can't really tell now. The photos make it look worse than it is. The decals have the usual Trumpeter/Hobby Boss look and I had no problems with them. I chose not to use the stencils. They didn’t look right to me. For pain I used Revell Aqua, Ammo Mig and Tamiya acrylics, all thinned with Tamiya X-20-A, through my cheap airbrush. It was the first time using the One Shot Primer. It did clog my airbrush from time to time. I chose the Iraqi Air Force livery but didn’t go too far with the weathering. Only some highlights and a panel wash with oil paint. The marbling is still visible under the final coat of paint but doesn’t really come through in the pictures. In the end it was a nice build but I would try the Eduard MiG 21 in 1/48 scale if I ever want to build another one. Enjoy the video and see you soon!
