Scott, so far the fit is great. The spine fit really nice onto the fuselage. I am wanting to get another version.

The gear bays are the plastic kit versions. The resin one looks nice. I might get a set for the next 21 that I do.

The color I used for the cockpit is Model Master acrylic Hellgrun RLM 25. It seems weird that I would use a WW2 German color for a Russian jet but that is the closest color that I thought looked right.

It is starting to look like a Mig-21.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely looking like a plane here

cockpit almost ready for canopy

 

[Quaralane]

Very nice cockpit work there

 

[Grendels]

Very nice cockpit work there

Agreed!

 

[WayneBt]

thanks guys. I have the windscreen on. The fit wasn't the best. The resin piece was a little wider than the canopy inside width. I had to use some Mr. Surfacer to smooth things.
