Croatian MiG-21UM

Hey All,
Here's my first entry into the GB. This is the RetroWings MiG-21UM conversion for the Eduard kit. I took a slightly different approach. Due to a really badly warped fuselage and my desire to not drill out the resin fuselage, I grafted the rear end of the Eduard kit. As you can see, this required a little plastic filler (measure once, cut twice right?). The wheel well also required significant cutting/sanding to fit inside the fuselage.
So far so good though. I hope to make more progress over the weekend. I also have a Czech MiG-21MFN started.
Cheers,
