Note to beginning modelers that may be watching this video: It isn't as easy to do this as Dusan makes it look. Don't be discouraged if you don't achieve results like this in your early models. I've been doing this for years and can't match this workmanship. I can't believe how steady his hands are!
if available, especially beginning, or even experienced trying something new, like going to biplanes for first time, best to start with the larger scales. I like 1/48, and will do 1/72 if the real plane was large, like bombers. I don't have space for 1/32, but they would be good if you don't see that well.
@ Mishn0 A bit patronising I think, especially to beginners who need words of positive encouragement only. Every builder builds slightly differently, and the end result to the builder is the most important.
@@skinbackyourpeel I did not find his (Mishn0) words "patronizing" at all, only recognizing each person has a different skill level, and should not be discouraged from trying to achieve better over time. Practice does make better, but never "perfect" is the message here. If a builder is satisfied with mediocre results, fine; but most of us, me especially, want to continue to improve our "end result" in model making.
I'm going to say you're easily one of my favourite modellers on RUclips, unlike some "pro's" who love to say theirs is the only way of doing things and put down other people's efforts. People should take note on how a real pro does a tutorial. Keep it up!
I equate your skill level to a golf pro. Golf looks easy when an expert is doing it, then you try and realize how hard it is. You make it look easy, your skill level is amazing. Thanks for posting your work, I appreciate it.
I don't build models, nor do I have the desire to. But I enjoy these videos due to the excellent craftsmanship. I like how confident he is while putting all of the parts together.
Ive bought and built 3 kits youve showcased. Hope youre finally getting a peice. Cause ive been watching your builds for 3+ years and you were pro bono for a minute there... Thanks just the same.
I love this plane, have made several "Fishbeds", some in 1/72 and a couple in 1/48. Even converted one to a model rocket. Flies like a "brick", but is very stable, without added fins. Takes off straight then rolls over an does barrel rolls, a real crowd pleaser. Shows how aerodynamically "designed true" the real plane was!!
The mig 21 is stable at high speed. At low speed like landing and takeoff the thing is very unstable and difficult to control, plus the engine takes forever to spool up. It cannot handle any kind of negative Gs because of the fuel system, and the engine will stall if you go above a very moderate aoa. The thing is a kind of a death trap for those that don't understand it, and that shows in it's safety record. I love this jet because of all its weirdness.
@@MF-og1ct good information on the real plane, but I was talking of a toy model, makes a great little rocket powered conversion, cuz it flies true and does not "wiggle around" like a lot of plastic model conversions do, looking funky and unreal as a result. I'd recommend this model as a first-time attempt to PMC a model rocket, best in 1/48 scale to begin with. :D
@@MF-og1ct yes, a 1/48 would take a C6-3 or C6-5, as I have done with two PMC's. A 1/32 plastic model might take a D or E. What I also did was scratch build a 1/24 scale Mig21, in wood and paper, using "normal rocketry techniques", and flew with a D. Being roughly the same aerodynamics, I was "pleased as punch" with the flight performance. I painted it as a camo scheme, green, brown, tan, gray underside, with some kind of Mid-East markings. Not a PMC, but a "normal" rocket model. I imagine up scaling even much further to take the more powerful composite Aerotech engines could work too. Anything is possible in model rocketry, and as I, and many others I imagine, always say: "what could possibly go wrong?", eh? Cheers! LOL ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 Yeah, I have seen some crazy stuff. One guy at my club put a composite motor in a modified umbrella that had a motor mount and fins. When the ejection charge fired a mechanism he machined released the spring opening the umbrella as a parachute.
@@marcogarbin2977 Yeah same here in Germany, less strict regulations but it did give me the necessary shove to finish tha Longnose Dora that I started over a decade ago and never finished. It's done bar the final weathering now, after four months of working on it otf and on. A great hobby and a sanity saver isn't it?
Dusan, You know I'm not a jet guy{working on a Ta-152} but always a pleasure watching your vids my friend. The "little" Mig looks good. Unique {to me } camo scheme. Congrats!
after 45 years of modeling I've finally received my first airbrush lol going through a lot of paint and videos these days trying to learn how to make a realistic camouflage ! this video helped ,but would be better if paint ratio and pressure measurements would help alot thanks 😀
Very good modeling with Mr. Hobby Water Acrylic Paints! Your finishing is amazing. Many Modelers in Japan prefer lacquer paints, Valejo or Citadel colors to Mr. Hobby Water acrylic paints. I like also this kit and Mig-21 series. Thank you very much for your great job.
nice job...it's unbelive...this plane is connected with starting of my career in czaf...I remember, two mig-21 on the runway at night...forsage...thank for your videos🤟🏻
Who the hell hit the dislike button, just wonder what those people’s models look like. How long did it take you to finish this beauty? Decent job, keep it up 👏👏
Its very old kit, from Letohrad .In this time bestest 1/48 mig -21 But this kit have litle wrong rudder. You need corrected rudder from CMK, also metal parts , foto-atached parts and resin ejection seat make this kit better.Meabe you need new decals. Same problem had kit from Fujimi and Academy version MF and Bis
Quick question I see you used (top coat mr hobby) may I ask what this is used for as im curious to know if it was involved in the chipping and weathering or helped boost raised details up I was very impressed by this model especially the end weathering effects
For some reason I though the fit of the main parts was worse, maybe that's the Mig-15 kit. Need to get me a VNAF Mig-21 as will be vacationing there in October
ScaleModelAircraft You are an inspiration to me in airplane model making. My You Tube Channel also deals with model making. I build most armored vehicles and dioramas. But I have also built rescue helicopters and fighter aircraft. Just take a look if you have the time and desire. Greetings Ben
What kind of clear varnish do you use before applying decals? I'm very surprised it can survive Mr mark setter and softer without any marks left behind. How long do you leave it on the decal?
In this build gloss coats from the new Mr.hobby GX range (solvent based). Also I am using the older bottles of (very strong!) Mr.setter and softer, so quite often I dont leave the solvent longer than 2min. I remove any excess ... and later seal the decals with H30. Neo Mr. Softer is much less aggressive. All the best! Dusan.

I've said the same thing about his steadiness to hold parts.

Great build, I've been building models for 40 years now. I've learned a lot from your videos.
Thank You! All the best! Dusan.
Великолепное видео! Отличная модель, золотые руки!
С тонировкой швов переборщил,помоему. Получилось как бутто в черноземье летает.

Thanks for posting !
I usually just skip to the end of these. But I literally stared at the entire video in amazement. Excellent job.
Amazing airbrushing skills! A beautiful build.
Another little gem from Dusan, epic paint scheme, love it!!

One of the most real looking model finishes I have seen. awesome job!
Awesome video, and a great job. Thank you for sharing, and have a great day.
Thank you very much, all the best! Dusan.
Very nice! I have no built any models since early 2000's, but i still follow this stuff weekly. Thanks for sharing.
me too. Cause to the actual quarantene in Italy I get all my stuff on table ready to work it on

Mam za sobą dziesiątki sklejonych modeli , świetna zabawa i relax . Mój największy to "pancernik "Musachi" ponad 80 cm długości i 500części.
Very good modeling with Mr. Hobby Water Acrylic Paints! Your finishing is amazing. Many Modelers in Japan prefer lacquer paints, Valejo or Citadel colors to Mr. Hobby Water acrylic paints. I like also this kit and Mig-21 series. Thank you very much for your great job.
Probably the best model of the Mig-21 in the World, in scale 1:72
Awesome job. Can't wait for my kit to arrive next week.
nice job...it's unbelive...this plane is connected with starting of my career in czaf...I remember, two mig-21 on the runway at night...forsage...thank for your videos🤟🏻
Your very good a true professional your models are of excellent quality you help to inspire Young modelers to build keep up the good work
Thank You! All the best! Dusan.
Learn from the best, and you'll always get better. Thanks for a great video!
Dusan that is excellent work!! I especially like the 4 tone paint job you have done freehand, amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Very nice build. And nice touch at the end with appropriate postal stamp ! ;)
Thanks!! All the best! Dusan.
this is like surgeon level work
great video, very professional, I am excited about your work. keep it up
Who the hell hit the dislike button, just wonder what those people’s models look like.
How long did it take you to finish this beauty?
Decent job, keep it up 👏👏
Thank You! Aprox. 8-9 days. I am working (when I have free time) on few models at the same time. All the best! Dusan.
8-9 days Wow, I would need at least 2 months 😅 and not as good as 1% of it in quality :)
Your work is beyond beautiful. Stunning.
Excellent video. Great build. Amazing finish. Congrats.
I really enjoyed this 20 minutes!
Best model video I've ever seen. Thank you!
Using airbrush is excelent... I admire this
Потрясающий набор.Чехи делают лучшие модели МиГов!
Incredible skill right here in this video! Thank you.
Nice build. The Mig-21 is a legends under the cold war aircraft's.
Best aircraft builder on youtube!Exellent video!!Pozdrav!
Agree
Robin Alexander absolutely
Nikola 3333 Plasmo is excellent too ...
Nikola 3333 watch quick kits
Ian Hubley yes i folow him on yt
I've seen it done in the NMF as well...going to have to buy like three of these since I can't choose a livery lol
Great build Mig 21 I will make my OEZ kit 1/48 with this marking Belgium
Its very old kit, from Letohrad .In this time bestest 1/48 mig -21 But this kit have litle wrong rudder.
You need corrected rudder from CMK, also metal parts , foto-atached parts and resin ejection seat make this kit better.Meabe you need new decals. Same problem had kit from Fujimi and Academy version MF and Bis
Great work Dusan!
Very nice. Now Ihave to go and buy this kit.
I think the kit is also great, great excitement👍✌
beautiful build！it makes me feel really good and comfortable!
it's got to be one of the prettiest planes ever made
Nice paintjob and detail on the Mig 21, Dusan
Great job. Wonderfull paintjob on an wonderfull jetfighter
that looks so easy, he does a great job!!👍✌
Wow awesome job man think this is my favorite one that you've done so far beautiful
Nice build and keep up the good work.
Thank You Ethan! All the best! Dusan.
Love it! Yet another excellent build, Dusan!
Bonjour de la France ville dunkerque. Très belles maquettes🤗🤗👍👍
I've been waiting to see you make a MiG 21 and I'm super impressed!!!! Now a B-58 Hustler please!
Ah... Hustler. Amazing aircraft. 😍 thank you!!
All the best! Dusan.
Your video's are as nice as your builds. Keep up the good work. Love watching your vids.
Thank You Frank! Btw, very nice s.bike! All the best! Dusan.

Bravo Dušane. Kao što smo i navikli, vrhunski rad! Žao mi je što ga nisi odradio u DDR varijanti.
Pozdrav.
juste un mot ,fantastique
Very nice model and video !👍👍👍
As always another great job Dusan. Keep up the great videos.
Which thinner did you use for the free hand camo paint? Awesome!
Smooooooooooooooooooooooooooth job ! love this jet Dusan .
This is what I should learn, and I should be more patient.
Beatiful kit of a fliying kalasnikov
LOL
How do you paint a fine line like that camo edges? Smaller needle? PSI? My airbrush would paint half the wing just trying to do the camouflage.
Wicked job dude!
Stunning build 👍
how do you get your video so crisp, do you use a spray booth/vent?
I have a large space, but sometimes even the extraction is on. Thanks! All the best! Dusan.
Beautifull work!
I am also enthusiastic, he does good work👍✌
Amazing job,keep it up you're the best!
For some reason I though the fit of the main parts was worse, maybe that's the Mig-15 kit. Need to get me a VNAF Mig-21 as will be vacationing there in October
Breathtaking! Superbe !
Great paint job, regards from México
Gracias!!! All the best! Dusan.
Awesome work
Nice job👏👏
Great build as always sir. How about Mitsubishi Zero build..... hehe.
Fantastic congratulations 👏👏👏👏
BRAVO!
Really nice Job, well done. It is always a pleasure to watch your Videos.

Great job man

hermoso trabajo felicidades
Sigh. Makes me wonder if I'll ever build that KP kit in my stash. This looks so good!
I m interest by yur job... Good work.
looks awesome keep them coming
素晴しい仕事です！
What type of paints are Mr.Color paints
Klasse Maschine, macht schon was her 👍👍👍👍👍 könnte noch 10 cm größer sein 😉
Its awesoooom! My favorite plane, i like it! Nice job! :)
Beautiful model and great work. Imo that green is a little too vibrant and doesn't fit the rest of the build though.
