The kit was from Academy Mig-21MF and it was really nice and simple kit. The details was satisfactory and Academy decals are getting better and better. What I like was the Orange+ Yellow style paint of the Mig-21, so I decided to do it. Building the kit was quick, however, I had a major problem with Canopy, so I need to figure out a way to
fix it. Since it was missing and substituted with Eduard one problem is the dimension where not fitting and it was a great challenged for me to cut the clear parts as I was not very familiar with it. Once I cut the canopy,
it needed a lot of sanding to fit and eventually it fit. Next was trying to achieved the orange/yellow tone, I almost finished a bottle of Tamiya Yellow and Red trying to match it. But when you know you almost got it the feeling was priceless.
