1/72 Condor MiG-21 SMT

Here is my latest model.  The well known Condor MiG-21 SMT.  I must say that this is a real pain to build, but in the end I'm very pleased with the overall look of my MiG.

The front windshield and canopy broke in two pieces during handling so new ones had to be made from scratch.  The cockpit is full with scratched details and the seat was reworked too, just to capture the look of the KM-1M.

The decals disintegrated in the water, so I had to use ones form the spares box.  The camo was freehanded and the weathering is minimal.  In the end it was a fun build.
