Title: Condor models 1:72 MiG-21 SMT/bis/21-93
Post by: ta152c on June 14, 2011, 12:14:50 AM

Hello to everyone!

I wonder if any forum members have knowledge of these kits mentioned above? I think they look ok, but did anyone deepen the panel lines when they made them, if at all?

I also have their MiG-25PD in 1:72, which does look rather nice.

Any help would be gratefully received :)

I have some kits of this plane from Russia, I get it in late '80 I think and it was of light green plastic. I make some measurements and kit look so good in shape but I think there was need for new panel lines. Do you have any images of your kit?

I haven't built them yet, currently. Once I do, I'll keep you updated. I always liked the KP MiG-21 too, it was pretty accurate, and, apart from the raised lines, a nice model. I'll use some of the spare parts from other kits to dress up my KP one, maybe a recon pod. I still have the 4+ book on the MiG-21, a really useful guide.

I'll hopefully join in with that! Do you happen to know what are the correct topside colours for camouflaged Russian SMT's? I use Lifecolour/Tamiya acrylics.

Well, for now still do not know the exact colors.I have not explored too much of the MiG-21 SMT yet.There is a lot of time until august. ;)
I think it's best to find pictures and lead by those colors on pics mixed color that you need.

I suppose that's the best idea. I was lucky enough to get hold of the 'Dragon' bombs and Rocket pod set in 1:72, so they'll be useful for the SMT and other things like my KP Su-7 and Su-25. I also have the Airfix MiG-29A and Heller -29UB too, and hope to obtain the Condor -29SMT sometime.

I have mix colors for me... maybe to try to make color chips when I get some time.
