SR.53

using some spare parts for the cockpit, windshield comes from Italeri's Skyhawk, wondering whether to add the famous pilot figure or not... 

ready to close the fuselage 

Not sure whether I didn't make too many panel lines - I followed the Freightdog model pics, but can't see so many on the real plane 

Well, I drilled thorugh the right wing when correcting the undercarriage slot... 🙁 

The decals I'm gonna use - Tornado from Revell, Jaguar from a Frog set and roundels from a resin Gnat by Aeropoxy 

H&S Ultra + Aizu masking tape (and some free time) made my day 🙂 

I think I went too wide with the black ... 

.. considering washing it and repainting the whole front 🙁 

Repainting the front 

Turned out, upper exhaust was way too small in the kit, so I widened it a bit 

Then added some pipe 

And started decalling, using extra MiG-21F-13 decals bought on the internets 😉 

Had to make correct 'D' out of B &G as Xtradecal didn't supply both kinds of 'D' in that set 🙁
