This sheet is dated 2001 and contains markings for 6 MiG-21MFs. The sheet recommends either the Trumpeter or older Revell kits as those are basically it for 1/32 scale. I'm sure the Trumpeter kit is more detailed as it is at least 20 years newer in terms of molding, but I never totally discount older kits as often they are easier to build.

You'll find that sheets of this type (exotic foreign air arms) are basically insignia and serial numbers, for few of these places put any additional work into unit markings and the such. The lone exception on this sheet is the one for the Indian Air Force as it has a black tail with large, yellow flashes on it.

The next is one from the Bangladesh Air Force in unpainted metal.

In a blues scheme is one from the Vietnamese Air Force.

This is followed by a nicely camouflaged Romanian AF version with the post Warsaw Pact insignia.

Then a Burkina-Faso version in greens and brown.

Finally, an unpainted Laotian AF aircraft.

There are enough insignia for all and the sheet includes additional Indian AF insignia as the ones on the main sheet are too small. The rather busy painting and markings guide provides FS 595 equivalents, when they can figure out what they might be. An upper camo diagram is also provided.

Overall, an interesting choice of schemes for one of the world's more widespread fighters.
