This particular MiG-21 sheet is 1/48 scale and has the markings for what is apparently one of the last flights of the MiG-21 in Czech service. It has a tiger striped motif for the rear of the aircraft and also markings for 45 years of Caslav AFB. This latter items is in English on one side and Czech on the other. There are also tiger heads that are quite reminiscent of those worn by the 141 TFS, New Jersey ANG when they flew Phantom IIs.

In addition to the special scheme, there is a serial number so you could do a standard MiG-21, though why you would want to when you have such a cool scheme is beyond me. I should also point out the the windscreen and canopy are outlined in orange on both aircraft so apparently this is the standard color of the plexiglas sealer. Both aircraft are painted a light grey that is listed as being FS 36495, which I believe is Light Ghost Grey.

No kit is specified for this, but I would imagine it was designed for the OEZ kit. It should also fit other 1/48 MiG-21s. The decals appear to be super thin and opaque so should work quite well. Instructions show precisely where each of the special markings are to be applied.

Another interesting sheet that will provide you something different from the norm.
