JBr Decals 1/144 Tiger Fishbed
By Matt Bittner
While the aircraft started as a standard MiG-21MF, eventually s/n 96002500 was converted into an MFN and was eventually put on charge with the 41st Fighter Squadron at Čáslav AFB. Before the celebrations of the 45th anniversary of the air base this MiG-21 (now MFN) had tiger stripes applied to the rear of the aircraft and text applied to the spine with the celebratory text.
This decal set from JBr Decals includes everything you need to finish this MiG but doesn't include instructions on the MF-to-MFN conversion. Basically it's just adding antennas to the airframe but there is a section on the JBr site that includes those directions (plus can be found on their MiG-21R/MA/MF/MFN full kit instruction sheet).
So, if you're looking for a unique MiG-21 then this is it. With the tiger stripes and celebratory text on the spine it is definitely a one-off Mikoyan.
I definitely want to thank JBr Decals for sending this in for review.
