Balkan Models 1/72 Croatian MiG-21s
By Matt Bittner
Recently released from Balkan Models is this set of decals for six Croatian MiG-21bis. Decals are for the following machines:
- MiG-21bis No.103, finished overall in aluminum
- MiG-21bis No.102, "Avenger of Dubrovnik", finished in light blue undersides with green and light brown top sides
- MiG-21bis No.119, finished in light blue undersides with green and light brown top sides
- MiG-21bis No.123, finished in light blue undersides with green and light brown top sides
- MiG-21bis No.115, finished in light blue undersides with dark green, grey and khaki top sides
- MiG-21bis No.120, finished in light blue undersides with dark green, grey and khaki top sides
The decals themselves are very nicely done and appear to have no registration problems. The instruction sheet is first rate, with each aircraft having a four-view profile. In addition, colors are matched not only to RAL and FS595 standards, but are also matched to the following paints (when a match exists):
- Revell
- Humbrol
- Model Master
- Tamiya
- Gunze
- Vallejo MC
- Vallejo AC
All-in-all, a first rate package from Balkan Models covering the MiG-21bis.
Many thanks to Balkan Models for supplying the review set.
