Mid Franconian
This built is already some years old but I haven´t had the time for upload up to now. Back then it was a funny project. The initial plan was to use the SMER kit as a paint mule. But after I started assembly I noted that it was not bad at all. Rather quickly I had the idea for a "What If".

So the historical context would be like this: The Soviet High Command of Warsaw Pact requested from the NVA/LSK of East Germany (Nationale Volksarmee/Luftstreitkräfte der DDR) to increase the number of close air support units (at least this is true - in the 80s this lead to the introduction of the Su-22). The result was to convert an existing JG (Jagdgeschwader) from MiG-21 MF to Su-25. The MiG-21´s were sold to Syria. Conversion was finished by mid 1991.

What-if-OFF: as we all know the people of the GDR fortunately decided to make a peaceful revolution which resulted in the tear down of the Wall on Nov. 9, 1989 and the re-unification of Germany on Oct. 3rd, 1990.
