Thanx; It's pretty straightforward build, no major fit problems, little filler, some sanding and light surfacer preparring for paintwork. Took me less than two weeks to build it.

TheyJammedKenny! Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Very nice job on this MiG! I'd like to work on an Eduard PF for the JRV. When did the JRV go with the air defense gray overall scheme? Early 80s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the JRV go with the air defense gray overall scheme? Early 80s? JRV- Yugoslav AF never have Mig 21 PF in its inventory. 36 Mig 21 PFM ( Izdeliye 94-Fishbed F) were delivered in four batches (8+10+10+8) , between June and December 1968. All PFM ( and later M and MF ) were delivered from SSSR in NMF scheme. There is no confirmation of overall gray PFM's, they arrived in NMF scheme, and after regular overhauls at ZMAJ (Zagreb) depot, finish is made in silver lacquer coat. Sole known ( at least for me) PFM in Gray overall scheme is 22716 (GTA-007) , but this is memorial-display plane . Overall Gray scheme was introduced with MiG-21bis Izdelije-75B ( MiG-21bis-SAU) with its arrival , august 1977. Same scheme was applied on Mig 21 M and MF overhauls , but PFM's, R's and two seaters stay silver lacquer till the end of Yugoslav AF service. Later, with break of Yugoslavia, and overhauls moving to Belgrade, Batajnica, MOMA depot, overall gray is applied on some two seaters and probably few PFM's , but they were withdrawn from service in 1996, and scrapped.
