  1/48 Academy MIG-21 MF

  I submit my third model built from ACADEMY's kit and cockpit set of AIRES.

  At this time, I chose MIG. In Addition to make aircraft model, I fly F-18 and fight with MIG-21 on my computer flight simulator. I often shoot AMRAAMs and they hit MIG completely. But when I don't use missiles and try to fight only with gun, MIGs become very strong and cannot be seen from a distance once I lose. I'm very fascinated with strong enemy and MIG-21 has become my favorite plane.

  I put Su-27UB (my forth completed kit and I will submit) next to the MIG-21, I can see the wingspan of MIG-21 is just only the half of Su-27.

  Yellow and bright brown colors are one of the reason that I've fascinated with. I wonder why former Soviet or Russian military select such visible and easy to find color for aircraft fighters. But it's very beautiful especially for a hobby kit because those can't be seen among modern western side. It makes an association of ideas fanged snake.
