Before he joined Area 88, Greg Gates, known by his call sign "Blue Cheese 7" ran a secret air ferry service for people seeking to escape from the Soviet Bloc. But when he helps the world-renowned Violinist Natasha Lavrovsky, the pride of the Soviet Union, to defect to England he runs afoul of the East German Air Force MiG-21s.

Looking at the manga in the banner it looks like a job for the old Crown/Revell/minicraft kit

Just realized I say "GDR" but type "DDR" - "It's all in the mind you know."

What makes you say Crown/Revell/minicraft? I'm open to suggestions, but I was also thinking about this one - Ebay.com Item - Trumpeter 1 144 01325 MiG 21 THE PLA AIR FORCE F 7II

Your right it is job for an F-7II - how did I miss those guns lol. I just saw the spine and canopy and thought that's not a MiG-21bis. I was thinking there was only the Crown or Trumpeter PF's left as an option.

I'm a big MiG-21 fan - the misses won't let me have one in the back garden, so I have to make do with a pair of these [img1] PLAAF F-7 pilot's boots from 1989

I was fiddeling with the laces at a bus stop in Farnborough the week before the 2016 AirShow and a Chinese chap came over pointed at them and went "WOOSH" making the gesture of a plane taking of at 60 degress - it was realy cool

i have a couple of Trumpeter/Crown Mig-21PF's and J-7II's from aliexpress aswell, they are cheap and easy to come by.
on one hand the Mig-21 has the right landing gear length but lacks detail, and the J-7II has lots of detail panel lines but its landing gear is freakishly long. i would recommend a combination of the 2 kits for wheels down, but if your planning on building them wheels up, i would go with the J-7.

Thanks Nils... it'll be wheels-up, so the J-7 seems like the right choice. Those decals look like just what I need too.

Thanks guys. I ordered the Mark I decals and the Learjet off eBay and ordered the J-7s off Alixpress.

The scene for the manga is pretty neat. it's a flashback from Greg's earlier days as an "underground air charter service" helping people defect from the Eastern Bloc. On this mission he's spiriting a world-renowned Soviet violinist to England and runs afoul of East Germans when his compas is damaged. It's a real Cold War adventure tale. So I'm excited to build another unusual pairing.
