1/72 Mig-21 MF - Eduard - scale model step by step build

[@Openwrt2023]

This is not a hobby. It is an art. Awesome!!!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate :)

[@UncleHoChiMemes]

It`s not just an art, is an awfully expensive art (worthy).

[@doszymona81]

Best painted aluminium Mig I ever saw. Congrats.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Szymon!

[@hobofactory]

Cold War aviation sure produced beautiful machines, and you certainly did justice to the entire aesthetic. So good!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, the beauty of the period IMO is in the diversity, so many different shapes

[@markussnyman8520]

Best Mig 21 build i have seen so far xd

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Markus!

[@dominiqueviari5261]

You can be proud of your building talents, this is excellent! I learned a lot, thanks for the masterclass!

[@MMScaleModels]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@blinthepannkek6173]

For some seconds, I thought it was a Soviet air force MiG... but damn, that's the most metal-looking plane model I've seen in UA-cam! Great work!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate 👍

[@ΒΑΓΓΕΛΗΣΔΡΑΠΑΝΙΩΤΗΣ-π2ξ]

I'm very glad and very lucky to place this EXCELLENT model on the bench for the 37th Annual Modelling Contest of IPMS HELLAS today!!! 😊

[@MMScaleModels]

I am happy to be there... at least with my models. Hope to be there in person next time 😁

Your showing me that you can model in 1/72 scale and still do it very well! Awesome!

Thanks mate 👍

[@stephanedavid3421]

Mastery, efficiency, your are a great artist. Unfortunely, my english is too poor to describe my feelings for this gorgeous Mig. Thanks for this nice moment. Greetings from France.

Thank you very much Stephane!!!

[@hamiltonfixedrider]

Great video ! I stumbled upon it and loved it. I haven’t built a model in years.., but after watching your build it makes me want to get back into scale modelling

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, go for it 👍

Really nice work with the paint on this Mig

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@PanzergrauModels]

Very good build, Metodi. Indeed, Eduard's kits are best; I have Mig-21 in 1/48th scale from Academy and it's nowhere as detailed as the 1/72nd from Eduard. And you did a fantastic job on it, congratulations! Gabriel

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Gabriel. Yes, fortunately there are manufacturers that evolve, unfortunately others go the other direction :(

[@chupacabra3464]

What liquid did you use prior to attaching the yellow thin stripes to the canopy frame?

[@MMScaleModels]

Decal setting solution, mr.mark setter in this case.

[@KillBoxScalemodelling]

Brilliant work and a really nice presentation of the build and the final result!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@pumelo1]

Not bad to made Bulgarian army with only sheet metal color. You have looked well to the pictures or videos, that frames have diferent color on engine and diferent on strained frames of metal.Its very hard to make metal color pattern on aircrafts.

Честит и на теб и благодаря. Да сме живи и здрави и сме там :)

[@mrbtapir]

How do you choose when to use Mr cement or CA glue?

[@MMScaleModels]

Great question... if I have to glue small parts that are already painted and uncomfortable to hold i will use CA glue for its fast cure time. for the larger assemblies I use cements. There are exceptions but in general thats my process

[@chilarai1]

I was in Sofia some years back and if I had known that there was such a thriving scale model community there, especially for Soviet planes, I would have looked closer. Your videos are giving me great pointers on the IAF MiGs I have waiting to build.

[@ondrejhadek5675]

Just one silly question. Why do both ailerons go a little bit to the ground? Shouldn´t they go opposite sides? But nevertheless the model looks great!

[@MMScaleModels]

I assume that when there is no pressure in the hydraulic system the control surfaces should drop. I guess this might not be true for other planes.

[@simonlund5590]

How many psi in your airbrush for ak Extreme polished aluminium?

[@billlarisa]

Great build,,fantastic result.Did you applied a gloss varnish over the metal paint so you can apply the wash or you appply the wash straight on the paint?

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Vasilis, I applied model master metalizer sealer after the polished aluminium and then after the paneling.

[@billlarisa]

Thank you mate.keep up the good job

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate :)

[@AirbrusherStudio]

before weathering , do you gloss coat the whole model ? because Ak extreme metal paint is enamel paint?

[@MMScaleModels]

I am not sure that Ak's are enamels, smells like lacquers. I use model master sealer for metalizers.

[@AirbrusherStudio]

MM Scale Models i have one of it. The polished aluminum and it react with AK panel line washes. I guess they are both enamel. But mine is very long drying time. I left it for 2 days but it still wet.. i dont know why.

[@MMScaleModels]

The model master clear?

[@AirbrusherStudio]

MM Scale Models no no. The AK extreme metal polished aluminum

[@MMScaleModels]

Maybe you apply too thick coats, but it is quite delicate anyways.

[@patrolduty8715]

Awesome work!!!! What is your paint on main body? That color is superb!!

[@audriusnairanauskas7747]

Very nice build. What you used on windscreen to replicate the brownish sealing and what liquid to set it?

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks. That's painted and cut decal paper. The liquid is mr.mark setter.

[@audriusnairanauskas7747]

MM Scale Models thanks. Is your own produced decal , if so could tell us how. Or this is aftermarket.

[@MMScaleModels]

It is just transparent decal paper from e-bay painted with airbrush.

[@audriusnairanauskas7747]

MM Scale Models is it water slide decal or dry? I wonder why water does not spoil the paint.

[@MMScaleModels]

Waterslide. Well if you use water based acrylics maybe there is some risk but for other it's ok. Also you can give the Color a clear coat for protection.

May I ask which airbrush are you using and more importantly which nozzle size? I constantly have problems getting Mig paints (or any acrylics, for that matter) through my 0.2 mm nozzle on an H&S Evolution while your paint seems to flow normally.

Цвет далек от натурального. Нужно металлик с белой краской разводить или поверх красить полуматовым / матовым лаком.

Yes I know that.. this green is not that green. The only true colour is the one on the actual AC. If you put 20 used mig-21s next to eachother they will be all different.

[@AlexanderMinaevFast]

@@MMScaleModels Я не про зеленый. Я про основной цвет. Дюраль покрывали краской с малым количеством серебра. Самолет имел полуматовый оттенок. Плюс люки и элементы обшивки имели разные тона. Т.е надо экспериментировать с основой. Красить серым глянцем, черным и тд. Основу делать дымчатой и разнородной для эффекта окиси / патины. Или покрывать полуматовым / матовым лаком, а дальше шкуркой обрабатывать до нужного эффекта матовости.
