I built it as diorama of light shelter with towing bar, next recce pod on trolley, ladder, chocks etc. We have been using this type of shelter in 1987 on Čáslav Air Force Base during reparing of our runway in Hradec Králové. This aircraft had three-tone camo – charcoal , dark and light green. Charcoal color was used unusually on undersurface too, light green was on forward part of fuselage only and had antiradar effect. One flap was replaced from MiG-21MF and had brown – light blue colors. The weathering of this aircraft was a challenge – repainted places by another colors, silver scratches were very common.

Clicking on that photo will bring up the full sized version of photo 05.jpg I used KOPRO /ex OEZ / 1/48 MiG-21MF, I changed cocpit, because this version had radar scope on the top and in the centre /as MiG-21PF, PFM /, made aerials of special shape on wing tips / from radar warning system SPO-3/ and recce pod version R for searching of radar / made from two 800 litres external tanks /.For next recce pod version D for day photography I used resin from NKR models No.48106, nice chocks were from Eduard. Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 02.jpg here I am a pilot /42/ of the Czech Air Force from 1985, I flew C-105, L-29, L-39C, MiG-21F, R, Su-22M4 and at the end of my career I fly L-39ZA in Náměšť Air Force Base. I collect almost all about flying as squadron prints, badges, models and camo. And as former “Aggressor “ I especially like camo of the US and Russian Aggressors and Adversary units and my next collection will be start by twins as Flanker Su-27 vs. F-14, Fulcrum MiG-29 vs. F-16C in the same camos.
