MiG - 21 PFM JRV I PVO featuring Balkan Models decal sheet BM-7202

Here is my latest kit.  A Zvezda MiG-21 PFM.  It is not such a great kit after all.  I had some trouble with the nose fit.  I sanded the nosecone in order to make it shorter and capture the look of the PFM.

A resin KM-1M seat was added and also the back wall of the cockpit tub was scratchbuilt.  The model is painted using MM enamels.  The decals are Balkan Models and again they performed great.  I washed the model using a homemade wash.  Tamiya weathering set D was used to replicate some stains and the burnt metal of the exhausts.  

The model is coated with a 35% gloss & 65% matt mixture of MM enamel clear coats.  I hope you like my model.

Enjoy.
