Hi Ved, please don't feel that you'll get laughed at coz I can promise you that won't happen here. At worse, you'll get constructive feedback, but that just makes you a better modeller & gives some advice and inspiration. I cant help you with kit recommendation as I'm not a plane man but I know plenty of the other guys will be happy to help. Post up your pics & be proud of your work! Patrick

I took one picture last night, but i need to take better one that will show more detail.

I sent that one to friend of mine, i left lighter in the frame just to give him an idea of the size.

I will take few more when i tidy up my desk.

I am still to add weapons onto the wing pylons.

There's nothing wrong with that Ved! it's a lovely little build & you should be proud of it! As I said, planes aren't my thing-in fact I've only made 2 tank models so far-but I think that looks very good, it's making me want to build some planes now, so well done & keep going.

I'm not really a jet guy but I know that Hasegawa do many more jets in 1/48 than Tamiya.If none of the jet chaps chip in I'll happily recommend a couple of props, excluding the Spitfire.
Can't see much wrong with your posted Mig either,it looks nice. As some of the others have said don't be afraid to post, noone is going to be rude or unhelpful here (unlike some places I won't name!)
As for paints,most airforces use(d) fairly strictly regulated schemes differing at different times and in different theatres, if you can't find the information you need for an upcoming project you could ask here. There is a good chance someone has either done that scheme or knows what it should be. I know Tony (Yakface) does a lot of Soviet stuff for example.
Cheers

hi ved,the mig looks great,dont be so hard on yourself. If you want cold war jets in 1/48 by tamiya then you havent got much choice at all,only the mig 15,sea harrier ,f15 eagle or a10 warthog, hasegawa do a lot more jets but again not a lot of early cold war stuff.Something to consider is the other jets by academy such as the mig 29 or su 27 in 1/48,good kits and reasonable price too, or what about trumpeter ,they do quite a few migs and other cold war jets in 1/48 .If youre determined to go with tamiya though dont forget even some of their kits are quite old now,i got the sea harrier and found it very basic, obviously a very old tooling ,although anything thats from the last 15 years is superb ,i got a 1/48 mosquito vi , it practically builds itself!! any other questions dont hesitate to ask youll always get an answer . cheers tony

Hi Ved

Tamiya also do very good 1/48 kits of WW2 jets, the He-162, Me 262 and the Gloster Meteor, if that is of interest to you. The Heinkel has good engine detail as standard, and the Mes has a version with the engine included, if it's not already incuded. Not sure with the Meteor.

I have made that Academy Mig-21, I did it in a tiger stripe scheme of the Indian Air Force. Will try to post a pic if I can dig it out of storage in the stash cave

Keep on glueing! Saul

cheers for your feedback guys.

There is so much to choose from, will check out Trumpeter.
I have been eyeing up academy Su-27, amazing bird that, and their Mig 29 are both on my to do list.

So many to choose from, i am going to have to buy few
