A fine kit considering its age. Decals were quite fragile.
This one 45th Experimental Sqn, Polish AF, 1993. The last flight special marking.
This probably be the last completed build for 2024.

Nice finish Tom! Hard to believe that the Poles were still flying these in 1993!

Nice. Cool markings - always liked the look of these early Mig jets.

A tail sitter for sure. Nothing in instruction guide to add weight in the nose or anywhere. Strange.

Those swept wings move the center of gravity further aft, I'd reckon.

Thank you for the kind words. I've grown to like these Russian Cold War era fighters.
Now my plan is to get 2 more Mig-21Fs. I'm looking at getting the Airfix Mig-21F kits for the other two decal schemes.
