Jan.....did you get out of your cell again.....strange tasting brownies......guess that says it all...

The Mig 21 kit is a real stunner, look forward to it.

 

[rochie]

very nice

 

[Lucky13]

Dug out the kit and found the decals....doesn't seem to be any PE set for the PFM cockpit in grey though!

 

[Lucky13]

By the looks of things, I'm gonna have to get this one....

....to get my dirty mittens on this one!

But, then again....I'll just swap them around, they grey interior for the green one!

 

[Wurger]

It's a good idea.

 

[Lucky13]

Glad to hear my friend!
Turn that MiG-21, into something else later....

 

[Wurger]

However the Russian Green for the cockpit of the 6913 was there too. Here three shots of the cockpit hood that survived up to today. Please make a focus on the yellow primer then the grey colour and finally the emerald one there. So the cockpit colour it is a matter of service time your kite is going to be replicated. If brand new .. there should be the grey but if later service I would say in 70' there should be the emerald colour.

[Lucky13]

Going for service year of 1969, so relatively new....

 

[Wurger]

Oh yes.. if 1969 ... the grey should be.
