Thanks. Most of the detailing was done for me in the PE 😄
I'm doing a standard MF version, Czech AF #4017. My reference photos of that jet show it without nose art, but the kit instructions show nose art. I haven't decided which to do.

@Martin: I saw a MiG-21 cockpit in the hangar with MiG-23 #3922 (with the shark mouth and bat emblem). Was that the 4017 cockpit?

haha, we have so many of them not only in country but in that specific museum too. I think 4017 specifically is stored away somewhere. They brought it out of storage for a special night event where they lit it up and you can sit down in it but otherwise I think it is not accessible. The cockpit you saw was a MiG-21R I think.

Thanks! It was a nicely engineered kit, though the external PE parts are a bit useless given the scale.

Album info
In 2013 I taught English in Plzen, Czech Rep. during the summer. One weekend I went to Prague to see the aviation museum. There I started to have an appreciation for Russian aircraft in service with European nations.
