There's a line in the book "Red Storm Rising" that more or less goes, "Say what you will about Soviet airplanes, they sure do build them pretty."

Don't you just love the calming effect that colour has on you?

Dunno if this is too late, Karl, but this is an ex-Polish MiG-21 and it looks like they painted the wheel bay interior the same colour as the aircraft exterior.

Looks great Karl. When you said you got carried away with the painting I was expecting to see your table with grey all over it.

No just cracked on with painting, masking and painting again !

Just noticed i failed to drill out the holes in the lower wing to locate the wing pylons !

rochie · Apr 17, 2021

Ok got pylons and various scoops, lumps and bumps added, these will be painted before a second gloss coat goes on.

Decals (all 12 of them ) applied too

Nifty. I've been looking mine over

rochie · Apr 17, 2021

I want another one now !

Airframes · Apr 17, 2021

Moving quickly on this one Karl, and it's looking good.

Crimea_River · Apr 17, 2021

Very sharp.

Wurger · Apr 17, 2021

With all above.

rochie · Apr 17, 2021

Thanks guys.

Wurger , I'm planning on 2 x atols and 2 x su32 rocket pods, would they be loaded with su 32's on the inboard pylons and atols on the outboard or othet way round ?

Wurger · Apr 17, 2021

Here all possible stuf that can be attached with pylons ....

Cool!

Gnomey · Apr 17, 2021

Lovely work so far Karl!

rochie · Apr 17, 2021

Thanks chaps.

So it looks like I'm good to go with SU 23 pods inboard and Atols outboard, thanks Wojtek

T Bolt · Apr 19, 2021

Very sharp Karl

Grant Barr · Apr 22, 2021

I really like this kit - nicely done. I usually don't look at post WWII aircraft but this one has made me think I should look to build a post war bird one day! Thanks for the inspiration Karl.

Nice one Karl....
