Found out that I should have put weight in the nose cone so the model doesn't sit on its tail.
Sweet. So, I decided that putting weights in the fuel drop tank would work out perfectly. Went out and bought some split shots, super glued them in. Placed the halves together and went to glue on the tail cone. At this point, I became rather confused. There is no possible way that the molds could be that far off, right? Right. I did a bit of research on the shape of tail cones for Mig-21's and my assumptions were correct. Revell had Brad Pitt the bed on this one. Spent about 20 minutes trying to make it work. It won't. There is no way.

So, a bit upset but not down trodden I figured there would be another way to do this. The nose gear bay was open and if I smashed the split shot weights a bit, I could shove them in. They should rest nicely in the nose cone. No problem. Just dab a bit of super glue in there, and you'll be fine, right? Right.
The plan started out great. Smashed maybe eight of the little weights dropped them in the gear bay and they fell into the nose cone. Awesome, maybe Revell ain't so bad after all, you know, for having so few details that I can correct gross mistakes via their lack of engineering. Now comes time for the super glue. I drop in a few drops. Rotate the model and do a few more, you know to get it all in there.... Then I feel something wet. And oddly warm. What the? (expletive deleted)! The super glue was running around the nose cone and onto my hand. Not good. First thing first, I grabbed a paper towel for my hand, not really thinking and watch the model drip super glue on the floor.

At this point I wiped the floor quickly, and wiped my gluing hand on the paper towel and it comes back all papery and very slightly gummy. Dammit. So the bright part of me said, "hey, you should rub your fingers together and the left over paper towel will come off.

Nope. I as a 26 year old male had-for the first time in my life-glued not just two but three of my fingers together with super glue. Terrific. So I spend the next 30 minutes trying to pry and pick off the super glue. Then I google searched and figured out that acetone will cut super glue. Awesome. I did that and cleaned up myself and the floor.
I also think my canopy is fogged a bit.

The nose cone looks bad for the glue. I don't know if I'll respray it, or just roll with it. Could be a good conversation topic, "Hey, why is the nose cone all funky looking." "Oh, that's from the time I tried to shower with super glue and glued myself together. Great times! AHahaha." Yeah. I did get the missiles glued together; but, I don't know if I'm going to keep them around. Depends on how they come out looking painted.
Anyways, I snapped some pictures in the aftermath as my hands were a bit occupied while this transpired.
Best solution at the time.
The damage to my lovely nose cone. I may just sand it and re spray it...
Thanks for reading. Comments, suggestions and critiques are always welcome.

Plus, this Mig is my first group build. Anyways, I'm really glad everything went so well airbrushing today. I had been getting pretty frustrated with the Mig. It just didn't want to go together. Oh well, live and learn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I haven't looked at the decals other than verifying that they're Russian. Hopefully they have some detail to them. The F-105 is also a Revell kit and it had really good stuff.
