Title: Dutch Mig-21F-13 Fishbed
Post by: Spey_Phantom on December 29, 2015, 06:30:54 AM
Placeholder for my project for this GB.
i was planning to build this model of another what if GB some time ago, but never got round to starting it.
the model is an Academy 1/72 Mig-21 Fishbed in Royal Netherlands Air Force markings (decals from an Italeri 1/72 F-104G Starfighter).

i still have another 1/72 KP Mig-21bis in the stash, might enter that one in West-german or Belgian colors  :mellow:

Just a note that it probably wouldn't be Royal Netherland Air Force anymore, but some form of Democratic or Peoples republic instead.  :mellow:

Only if they've gone full Commie though. They might be neutral, playing both sides against the middle and buying hardware from both, Finland or early Yugoslavia-style.
