General
The
DML kit is very good, even if we can find some points to correct regarding
the shape of the wings. I have not changed the wing shape in order be able
to finish the model ASAP. I used a PAVLA resin ejection seat. The cockpit
had to be adjusted to accommodate the PAVLA ejection seat.
Decals
I have bought a
Microscale decal to get a Chinese version. For the aircraft serial number
(502) I had to get the number 5 from my Revell MIG-21.
Paints
I used HUMBROL
(upper surfaces) and Vallejo (lower surfaces).
Details
I had to create
almost all of the cockpit details. I also added some cables in the main gear
and front gear. The exhaust jet tube was made by a plastic tube using the
original part to close the exaust tube. The canopy is very good, I just
had to add the open/close canopy system. The air intake had to be adjusted
in order to avoid to see the cockpit.

I
strongly recommended this kit. It's easy to construct and at the end you
have a good result.
