MiG-21MF

 

 

D e s c r i p t i o n    a n d    M o d e l s

 

We are Venezuelan modellers living in Caracas. Our names are Alberto Arzola and Eduardo Diaz. 

We build aircraft in 1/72 scale. Here are a few examples of our work: 


KP Mig-21MF

MIG-21 MF in Syrian air force markings during the Lebanon war of Ž82; Decals are from the Fujimi Mig-21mMF. Humbrol paints were applied by brush.

I needed plenty of putty, imagination and patience to finish the kit and add details such as the IFF antennae, cannons barrels, seat belts, pitot probes, pylons etc. The kit is of very poor quality.

AMT 1/72 Scale B-52H 

Modifications to AMT's big 1/72 scale B-52 include IFF, TACAN antennae, radiation deflection curtain inside the cockpit, and missiles from a Monogram B-1B bomber.

I spent several hours applying and sanding putty. I want to thank my friends who helped me to built the taxiway base from wood. My friends say that i'm a crazy modeller because I always take several crazy photos of my models. I don't mind - the models are mine. IŽll take the same photographs in the future. 

This model is not recomended for children less 5 years old!
