This is my Trumpeter 1/32 scale MiG-21 MF in Iraqi markings. Originally this model was to be used in a diorama. Thus you will find
several open and/or missing panels that would have made a bit more sense in the diorama. The rear section of the aircraft would have
also been removed to display the engine. However, as has already been mentioned in reviews before, the tail section has no internal
structure and would have to be fabricated. That in itself would not be difficult. Being sure it was accurate would be another matter.

I built the kit OOB with the exception of the static dischargers on the wingtips. The original plastic ones kept breaking off. To me, an
aftermarket cockpit just isn't required. The kit pit is pretty darned good and looks great as is.
The weathering was an much of an experiment to me than anything. I used chalk for the wash and the biggest mistake can be seen on
the control surfaces. Before the chalk wash, I forgot to spray them with Future and, as a result, the chalk stained the surface. Although
the effect doesn't look bad, it probably isn't accurate.

The vomit-producing color in the cockpit is nothing more than Model Masters Interior Blue Green. The hub and nose green were painted
with Aeromaster Radome/Hub Green. The camo was painted with Model Master Sand and Tamiya Dark Earth over Model Master Light
Gull Gray.
This model now resides with a few others I have built at Extreme Sports and Hobbies in Pooler, Georgia USA.
