This Kopro sheet is for their
MiG-21UM, which may also be an Eastern Express or perhaps Zvezda kit. Regardless
there are 1/72 MiG-21 UMs being kitted and this will fit all of them. You can
tell it is a kit sheet from one of Kopro's boxings because it has instrument
panel decals and a kit number on it.
The sheet allows you to do four
different aircraft. There are stencils for one, but you can use kit stencils if
you wish to do others. There are two Czech aircraft provided. One is a three
tone grey plane based as Caslav AFB in 2004. Note that this has green radomes.
The other is an unpainted metal version, also from Caslav AFB, but in 2005. This
one has some additional markings on the rudder and nose. For this one, the lower
radome is a brownish shade.
A Slovak aircraft from Sliac
AFB in 1993 is also provided. This one is camouflaged in earth and green with a
light blue underside. As some of you may know, when Czechoslovakia peacefully
divided in the Slovakia and the Czech Republich, their military was divided
according to population giving both countries pretty much the same equipment.
The last is a Libyan plane
based at Tobruk in 2007. It is sand, brown and dark green on the upper surfaces
with light blue underside. Markings are rather minimal on this one, but it is
rather colorful as things go.
The decals themselves are superbly printed and the instructions come with a range of painting options.
