Actually you should have painted these wheel hubs and tyres separately. And then assembled them together with already painted legs. Unless these are the one-piece casted parts.

I was thinking about that, but then looking at all the fiddly bits beside the wheel hubs, I thought "f*ck it" I'll glue it all with them tiny bits and paint it all á la 1/35 armour style!
I wonder how Eduard thought with the nose gear, it's near enough just a butt joint, no hole or anything, not very secure if you ask me!
 
Tossed a wee bit of primer on #6913 yesterday, see what tomorrow brings....

Btw., is it just me, or does someone else at times when reading and checking scale plans, think to themselves "that can't be right"?
I did that earlier flicking through the Valiant book on the P-38 Lightning, and getting to the aforementioned scale plans I thought...."that can't be right, that's got to be 1/32!"....

Whirly wingy things?

Was it silver that they were painted in, or aluminium?

Initially MiG-21 PF and PFM weren't painted at all but just protected with a clear gloss coat. During overhauling these could be coated with either a special paint that was silver but of a pearl tone or later with the silver-aluminium coat.
