Mig-21 "F-13"  finishing in 1/32 scale
   

The older type Mig-21, the F-13" was to be finished in Finish markings. The roundels were obtained from the Mig-21UM Trumpeter kit. 

The special Finish Air Interceptor squadron had a animal marking on its vertical rear tail. This was hand painted using pictures as a guide.

The aircraft depicted is in a " maintenance " scene, so some panels and details are to be added to a diorama setting later on.


Note the forward hinged canopy, typical of the F13 type of the Mig-21 series. 
The Mig 21 F13 of the USSR, DDR etc had black cockpits, but the Finish F13 cockpit was probably green/blue. 

No seat fitted yet.

Nose view with also opened maintenance panel at the wing joint.


Older style seat, some details still to be added.                       the painted animal emblem on the fin 


Engine (is supplied with the kit) and further detailed. 

The only final steps are completing the diorama for this F13. This will be done at a later stage, the basic models being ready now.

That completes the extensive 1/32 Mig-21 building report. Hope you enjoyed it.
Now , I still have another Trumpeter Mig-21 MF in the kit stack....
 

Back to 1/32 scale models.......
