I thought it was about time I made some sawdust and chips again so I have started a MIG 21 inspired by Pat Cherry's Iraqi Mig profile. Progress will be slow due to other work but here are a couple of pics of progress so far. Regards Paul J.
http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/displayimage.php?pid=8368 (http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/displayimage.php?pid=8368) I will try to add the pictures instead of a link but I can't work out how to do it in Flikr, as Photobucket is very slow to work with.
The addition of a photo from photobucket or our own gallery are identical. Right click and select copy URL and paste between the image bracket.

Flickr link is not quite as friendly, but copying the "copy link address" will allow posting the link. https://www.flickr.com/photos/12819960@N03/16381197204/
I tested the copy URL but it only works with the thumbnails.

Regardless fantastic MiG Paul.
Lou
Thanks Lou, I was just going to try Photobucket again but you beat me to it. It's ok for uploading but the videos running the ads make it a slow process. Glad you like the Mig so far. Regards Paul J.
Looks good so far Paul.
Gordon
Thank you Gordon. Regards Paul J.
A bit more progress made. All parts a temporarily pinned together, a few more parts to make before assembly can commence.Sorry about picture quality, had a bit of a problem with the sunlight.Best regards Paul J.

Awesome MiG.
Lou
Thanks Lou, I had to post from Photobucket, as the gallery wouldn't let me add any more images, the message was :- " you have a space quota of 250000k current files 23579k, adding this file would make you exceed your quota" . Best regards Paul J.
We will remove your quota limit today. I'll message you when it's done. It's just the programs default setting. :o
Thank you Ray. Regards Paul J.
Making slow progress on painting, I will upload some pics soon. Regards Paul J.
Looking forward to it.
Lou
Just a quick picture to show painting progress. Regards Paul J. (http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/albums/userpics/10259/normal_3c245fa0-335b-4aab-90f4-40d58242696e_zps1ubq60av.JPG)
Great accessories. On first glance I failed to notice them as the wing bottom colour attracted my view. This will be one excellent MIG.
Lou
Looks great Paul.
Gordon
Thank you Lou and Gordon, not the best of pictures, the wing bottom colour is the same as fuse and accessories just a bit shady, I'll do some better ones at the next stage. Regards Paul J.
Finally managed to complete this build, as I said before the inspiration came from Pat Cherrys excellent artwork profile. Best regards Paul J.

Well Done Paul. Looks great
Gordon
Thank you Gordon. Best regards Paul J.
It looks fantastic Paul and well worth the wait.
Lou
PS. Could we have a photo of your AirToon Squadron?
I saw your photos on flickr. May I re-post to place in my groups?
Lou
Thank you Lou, no problem with you re-posting. I will try and get a decent picture of my squadron, but I have trouble with getting decent lighting without glare. I will have a try and see how I get on. Best regards Paul J.
Requested picture of Airtoon Air Force. regards Paul J. (http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/albums/userpics/10259/DSCF0507_crop.png)
Wonderful collection. Each a treasure in its own.
Lou
Thanks Lou, your comments are appreciated, I've just to decide what to do next in wood. I have an Egg plane project in mind but that's plastic. Regards Paul J.
