The kit.

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice looking kit....

 

[Wurger]

Agree.

Good one Don

 

[Donivanp]

Thanks guys. Question, interior (gear wells etc...) colors? I know it's some sort of a green but not real clear on that. Wheels are normally a deep "armor green" but the walk around has poorly kept museum prices severely faded and so hard to tell. Any help?

Our Polish PF Migs had the cockpit interior , wheel bays of the grey colour like the cockpit side panels of the PE set. However , the longer these PF Fishbeds were used the more coats could appear. Especially at the wheel bays. these could be either of the silver, grey, olive green or the grass green ( deep "armour green" ) used for the wheel rims. Therefore you would need a pic of the particular plane if you would like to assemble a Polish Fishbed. Generally , using the grey colour is correct for most of early new Mig-21PF used by other countries as well.

It will be Vietnamese Air Force. So it should be direct from Soviet Union. I've got a book on their planes but not much color

If the VAF kite .. so the grey for the cockpit is correct. The wheel bays - either the grey or the olive green. Their doors at the inner side could be either of the grey, green or silver. It seems that the grey and silver were the most common.

So a dark gull grey?

 

[Wurger]

The dark gull grey .. for what?

 

[Donivanp]

The dark gull grey .. for what?

The grey color? Is that close? Too dark?

 

[Wurger]

Ah .. in general... but the DGG could be too dark. I would say the Light Gull Grey.. but you can check on the PE cockpit parts. the side panels are a good chip for that.
Also you may have a look at the site ..
