Aircraft Mig-21 is quite demanding and needs dry fitting otherwise if you glued
it knowing it okay it may not work on other sections so little patience and dry
fitting is a must. For making IAF, we need to sand down some antenna which is
not there in IAF Mig-21s but it is there elsewhere and add an antenna which is
unique to us, the most visible one is on the nose top which I made from a soda
can.
Markings
well, I really wanted to do something quite different so I looked at many forums
and groups but decided to do this as I have not seen anywhere. I asked some
friend and they guided me with the project, the biggest distinction of this
particular Mig-21 C2762 is that the tail vertical stabilizer has two different
painting one is the black with yellow thunderbolt and other black and yellow
chequered pattern, which was quite tedious to mask but once you peel off it was
worth the efforts. Paint was a simple local brand with metal and yellow from
elsewhere.
