Amazing. I probably missed this but this aircraft kit, retracts, wheels and brakes will be offered for sale? Will the airframes come painted in the mold?
An awesome achievement! Congrats!

Hi Mugu,
Your Mig21 is a piece of art and the painting is well done. If you allow me, just a suggestion. It seems you're using silver paint with a brush to imitate paint chipping. I think it doesnt do the model justice. A good method is to mix Salt and Water to a pulp like consitency and then put it on the surfaces where you want to have your paint chip.... Let it dry, spray over with paint and then rub it down. It looks way more realistic.

I tried both depending of the scale of the model. for quarter scale more grainy salt might work better, yes. Good results can be achieved with both. it takes a while to find the best mixture of salt and water. Just let the model sit for a while in the sun to dry and spray your normal paint layers.
If you use clearcoat of course remove the salt and wash the stains of with water before applying clearcoat.
The easiest method still is to scratch the paint afterwards, it takes longer and you have to be a bit more careful, but it is still better than using silver paint to imitate paint chipping (when the surface is silver anyways)
