Hi gents,

I'm glad that you like this model and my project. Addresses where you can find this model is http://www.aviationmegastore.com/search/LM.../_/p0/c/s/f2394

and http://lindenhillimports.com/news.htm.

So, I have three sources for technical drawing comparing. First, domestic Serbian (ex Yugoslav):

Second, from Czechs 4+ publication:

us12.jpg

Third, from Russia:

Also, I used books and magz from my library. This is:

ex Yugoslavian modeler magazine ,,AEROPLAN"

Squadron pub. MiG21

Book ,,Jugoslovensko Ratno Vazduhoplovstvo 1942-1992", autor Bojan Dimitrijević

Very nice czechs publication 4+ MiG-21

and very interesting monography ,,204 lovački avijacijski puk" (transl:204 fighter aviation regiment)

crookedmouth-...I do think you should be doing the red & white chequer finsh though...-not this time, mate ;)

O.K., this is my start...

oohhh nice... mind I am with crookedmouth - definately the red/white checkerboard..... if we gtet enough people requesting it will you change the scheme ???? lol

Thanks guys for watching. There is no chance to make red/white version :boxing::D . If you like that insignia I will send to you, indeed. From four MiG21US/UM boxes (from LiftHere models) only this set contains red/white checkerboard...

Cheers :cheers:

I just tried Linden hill site, and they have a great selection of kits but with 16 gbp shipping and current Uk to euro exchange rates Ill have to take my chances that one of these will turn up at a show :(

would you be willing to sell your spare decals Miroslav?

Posted (edited)

Hi Deon, I won't to sell this set but if you want I can send you completed insignia for one aircraft (because several people ask me to sell)... Or, there is another solution -

LiftHere team is going to eject several very colorful sets for this aircraft.

So, I've today finished this

For KM-1 seats I used Revell primer

I used Revell 365...

WOW, have you got any info on the number 12 red/white chequered one?

Posted

Hi Speedy, please be more precise, what kind of information you want? About real aircraft or decals? Sorry, my english is very bad (you now, Tarzan english )...

Posted

Sorry :banghead: , this one #12 red/white squares - the colour scheme is fantastic. Any more info about the aircraft/unit

Thanks Miki,

Ive just managed to find a Begemot sheet on ebay for late mark MiG 21 with '165' and some others too. I also ordered a Condor UM. I'll see what the other Begemot schemes are and then order a few more MiG21s to suit. :) i will hopefully get them in time to add it to the GB :)

Cheers
