Pilatus PC-21 and MiG 21, master model making
Back to business after months stranded in a heavy tour of duty.
Continuing the 1:200 scale airplane project, the master model directly printing on a piece of resin material. It contains some parts to complete the previous model which already planned:
- Pilatus PC-21, complete with landing gear, separately propeller.
- Mig 21, one piece model, without landing gear, carrying external tank and 2 missiles.
The result is a tiny silicon rubber mold to cast wing, tail wing, propeller and landing gear parts.
The resin casting is easy and produce exact copy of the master model. All greats for both side since the mold carefully aligned.
After carefully cut and remove unnecessary resin, put the part into the main fuselage using acrylic glue. This is the difficult part of this job, a good mood is required to get the best shot. Spray a thin layer of color to see the surface result especially the join. Sanding the surface very carefully to to get the best. I think a big glass magnifier will very useful.
