Which ones for the main landing gear, those to the left or right?

For the PFM these perforated ones, Jan. It is the hub used for the early "21" variants. IIRC these were in use also with the MF although a couple of MF had the hubs of later, solid style.

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!

You are right, there isn't much there to secure it. Funny that ABT does the same thing as well, to the whole kit!
Just they believe the adhesive strenghts. But it is not a problem. Drill with a thiny drill bit the wheel bay ceiling at the slot for the leg and then the leg. Glue into the hole at the leg a piece of wire or a stick made of warm stretched sprue. It should strengthen the join.

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?

Liking it but it really needs a F-4D or E on it's tail to look right.
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.
