for the record, green parts are not for identification - they are called dielectric panels and usually used to cover anything radiating or receiving RF, like radar etc and as such either made entirely from proper materials or covered with appropriate paints. anyway great build of a great aircraft, cheers.

The Eduard 1:72 Mig-21 is the best in scale IMO. Their 1:48 version is too while we are at it. Excellent work

This looks incredible. I like the aircraft of the era (though my favorite is WWII aircraft). And have built my share of the Mig 21. I do wish there was a NICE version of the Mig 19. That and t the F-8 are my favorites. I can't build models too large due to space for things. Anyway. Sorry for rambling. Your builds are amazing and I appreciate your them.

@@ModellingWeekly This is true. Rambling can be eye opening in certain Carrara Cases. I don't have a compressor myself so I just brush. I will never be a contest e winner but I have fun, and that's what it's all a about.

Hey! Glad you like the build 😊 unfortunately I'm at university full time at the moment, so it's a bit tricky for commissions. I'll be back at the workbench for around 4 months starting from may/June next year however, so if you're up for a more long term project then that could work :) apologies for the lack of flexibility, I hate having to let people down haha!

Has anyone from the UK purchased kits directly from Eduard? We are looking at some but unaware if there will be any import costs?.

@ModellingWeekly 7 ай бұрын

There are no import charges for goods worth up to £135. VAT will be included in the payment by Eduard so you also don't need to pay this later. The big drawback is the shipping costs however. They increase pretty exponentially as you fill up your basket, so it's only really worth it if the models you're buying are discounted massively (i.e. 50% off during the sweep sales)

Great video, looks fantastic, could you tell me you're method for applying the tamiya varnish please (thinning ratio + pressure + Nozzle size) I use the gloss regularly but have never had any look with the satin or matt.

@ModellingWeekly Жыл бұрын

Yep no problem! I always spray varnish out of my 0.4mm ultra, at about 15 to 20 psi. Thinning ratio is always by eye, though if I were to put a figure on it I'd say 1:3 varnish:thinner. Most important thing really is spraying in a warm environment, as cold air can cause that frosted effect that sometimes happens. Hope this helps!

@ste022 Жыл бұрын

@@ModellingWeekly Thanks that's very helpful. I really like the gloss but with the satin/matt I would either get a gloss finish or the frosted effect that you mentioned.

the graphics are too bright. too much contrast. they need dulling down.

@ModellingWeekly 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for your input, but I disagree. In my opinion the camera settings are adequate given the difficulty of filming metallic colours. If the video is too bright for your preference you can bring down your devices brightness :)
