Hi Konrad, following as well! I don't remember a problem with the engine fit when I assembled my mig-21... Maybe some piece was misplaced?

Konrad Autor
Moreno - the problem exists only with bis version - new fuselage AND a new engine chamber

Taking a seat and notes! I've got five boxes of this release as I love the 21 and there's so many nice schemes to build. Your insight will surely be of great value to me. The first question is the cockpit colour. What have you used as you match the PE rather well?

Łukasz Gliński
Nice progress, what are these thingies you use to mask the wheel wells?

Urban Gardini
Here you've the thingies mate!

Urban Gardini - usually I using BilModel paints (local Polish manufacturer) so I mixed:
20 drops - Bilmodel 74 - RAL5012
20 drops - Bilmodel 81 - RAL5015
40 drops - Bilmodel 76 - RAL6032 (Signal Green)
10 drops - Bilmodel 51 - FS17875 (White)
and the result is like on the photos. You can use what you have (similar) on your desk - I hope with success!

Urban Gardini
Thank you mate! Now I can try to mix upp something with those colours. The only Bilmodel stuff I've got is a bottle of their decal solution that I haven't yet tried. I normaly use Daco's decal solutions.

Konrad Autor
Be very careful with BilModel decal solution (called "3") - it's really strong / aggressive. Apply using aerograph (not brush!) a very thin layer and do not touch for 18-24 hours.

Urban Gardini
Yes, i've got the same advice from a Swedish builder that uses "3".
