Hello scale modelers!
Welcome to episode 5 of our MiG-21 build.
In this video we are going to weather the model.
But first comes a layer of clear varnish to protect the metallics.
Next I applied the decals.
I used decal setting solution to help me adjust the decals and then bond them to the surface.
These decals are aftermarket and are very thin but they are also very brittle, I had to be very cautious.
I used Q-tip to remove the excess solution and then press the decal in position
Since the decals didn't want to get inside the panel lines I had to cut them with the scalpel blade
and then use strong decal softening solution to tuck them in neatly.
After the decals were done, I applied another coat of clear varnish to protect them.
Next it was time to apply wash in all nooks and cranies.
For this model I chose Dark gray wash from Ammo by MiG
To apply it I used long bristle brush because it holds more liquid.

After the product dry I removed it using make up applicator sponge.
With almost no pressure I dragged the sponge along the airflow on the horizontal surfaces.
On the vertical surfaces I used top to bottom motion.
The rocket also received treatment with panel line wash. This time it was skygray gray.
Here I remover the excess wash using small cotton swab due to the tight spaces around the fins
For the next step of the weathering process I masked the front panel lines of some panels.
Then, using highly diluted black paint I applied a gradient fading away from the panel line.

Other panel lines were postshaded freehand, using the same mixture.
For the area over the engine nozzle I did subtle burnt metal effect using filters.
Blue filter on the forward panels and brown filter on the back panels.
This effect is very very subtle and hard to see but it is there and adds to the overal composition.
To immitate streaks of dirt I will use two oilbrusher colours.
First I decanted some starship filth and applied small dots using dental absorbent paper points.
Then using flat brush I dragged the dots along the airflow.
I blended in the streaks to get subtle effect.
Where I wanted more pronounced streaks I manipulated the oil holding the tip of the brush paralell to the streak.
The second color I used was Starship bay sludge and it was applied in the same fashion as the previous
No weathering can be complete without some work on the decals.
To give them faded and worn look I used mixture of flat clear and white paint, which I applied with fine brush.
To fade the green panels I applied small amounts of yellow oil paint and plended it in with flat brush.
This process was carried out in several steps for better control over the final appearance.
With this step we conclude the weathering stage. In the sixth and final episode we are going to do the final assembly of the model.
