The silver Lightning

I've been always afraid of bare emtal/alluminium aircraft, but I nevertheless decided to try the new AK extreme emtal  on a 1/72 Trumpeter Lightning F6 ... The No.23 Squadron  commander's aircraft back in 1975,  at RAF Leuchars, as offered by Xtradecals, was a perfect subject! Ammo of Mig Jimenez aircraft weathering set and oils helped with the finish!!!!

...the forgotten Mig

Some times ago I came across a picture of  a former  East German Air Force (LSK-LV) Mig-21 forgotten  in a corner of an abandoned airfield in what was once  the German Democratic Republic. remembering that I had an old  Fujimi's Mig-21PF in the stash, I decided to go for that  subject.
Altough the fujimi's kit has some problem in the nose area, between the  the intake and the windscreen, I decided to buyilt  it stricly  out of the box , focusing instead on painting and weathering... That's the final result...
