Moreno BaruffiniHi Konrad, following as well! I don't remember a problem with the engine fit when I assembled my mig-21... Maybe some piece was misplaced?

Urban GardiniTaking a seat and notes! I've got five boxes of this release as I love the 21 and there's so many nice schemes to build. Your insight will surely be of great value to me. The first question is the cockpit colour. What have you used as you match the PE rather well?

Łukasz GlińskiNice progress, what are these thingies you use to mask the wheel wells?

Konrad AuthorUrban Gardini - usually I using BilModel paints (local Polish manufacturer) so I mixed:
20 drops - Bilmodel 74 - RAL5012
20 drops - Bilmodel 81 - RAL5015
40 drops - Bilmodel 76 - RAL6032 (Signal Green)
10 drops - Bilmodel 51 - FS17875 (White)
and the result is like on the photos. You can use what you have (similar) on your desk - I hope with success!

Urban GardiniThank you mate! Now I can try to mix upp something with those colours. The only Bilmodel stuff I've got is a bottle of their decal solution that I haven't yet tried. I normaly use Daco's decal solutions.

Konrad AuthorBe very careful with BilModel decal solution (called "3") - it's really strong / aggressive. Apply using aerograph (not brush!) a very thin layer and do not touch for 18-24 hours.

Urban GardiniYes, i've got the same advice from a Swedish builder that uses "3".
