With the Mig-21 missing canopy parts and the Spitfire 'Red Star' missing wingtip parts
- yeah, I know... more missing parts.
I decided to jump on this little bird...
Here's where I'm at after 2 days building...
The kit gives me decals for 3 option schemes; one is on box cover which is of The Black Diamonds Jet Team. Here's the video...

For this kit, I opt to do the 45th Experimental Sqn. Polish AF.
I plan on getting a pair of Airfix Mig-17F for the other two special schemes.

Very cool! New drinking game! So every time he loses a part, you have to take a shot.

Noisy little buggers too... screamers mostly. Then again weren't they all during the Cold War....
