Eduard 1:48 Mig-21BIS, Finnish AF

[jonf45]

Hi, 

recently built this Eduard 1:48 Mig-21BIS, decided to do it as Finnish Air Force MG-129 of HaaLLv 31, Kuopio, circa 1981. Chose this scheme as i had the matchbox 1:72 version as a kid!!!

Built oob, airbrushed using Mr Color Acrylic paints and Mig Ammo washes.

All in all it went together very nicely, the only real issue i had was getting the 4 tiny aoa vanes onto the pitot tube....... really wish id just bought an add on one 
Not too sure about the paint scheme but i went with the "more grey" as it looked closer to the photos i was using rather than the earlier brown.

Either way, its done and on the shelf now
