Hola Karl

An attractive project is looming. Interesting information begins to accumulate ...

Saludos amigo.

Bit done.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good but I noticed you had a trouble with fitting if the cockpit interior to the fuselage.

I didnt notice that but yes the instrument panel looks out of place, i think i might be able to get it in the correct way as it is a bit loose !

Good stuff Karl. Crazy colour, those Russian pits.

Looking good Karl, and I hope the instrument panel angle can be easily corrected.
I may be wrong, but I think the coaming over the panel, beneath the windscreen, would be black, or maybe very dark green. No doubt Wojtek can advise.

Good work so far Karl!

Actually the kind of the coaming over the pilot panel isn't correct for the Polish MFs. The one seems to match better the Bis variant rather. The area there should be like that ....

Yes from what I've read about this kit it is closer to a bis version than an MF but i can live with that.

Also couldn't get the IP to move so hopefully the canopy parts will hide it

 

[Wurger]

I think it can't be seen when the windshield attached.

Spent plenty of time on this last night while my wife was on night shift, the relatively low parts count and good fit of parts mean this kit goes together pretty quickly.

looks like a MiG 21 now

 

[Wurger]

PS... undoubtedly the model is closer to the Bis variant.
