Neal NThanks. Most of the detailing was done for me in the PE 😄
I'm doing a standard MF version, Czech AF #4017. My reference photos of that jet show it without nose art, but the kit instructions show nose art. I haven't decided which to do.

Neal N@Martin: I saw a MiG-21 cockpit in the hangar with MiG-23 #3922 (with the shark mouth and bat emblem). Was that the 4017 cockpit?

Martin von Schreckensteinhaha, we have so many of them not only in country but in that specific museum too. I think 4017 specifically is stored away somewhere. They brought it out of storage for a special night event where they lit it up and you can sit down in it but otherwise I think it is not accessible. The cockpit you saw was a MiG-21R I think.

Neal NThanks! It was a nicely engineered kit, though the external PE parts are a bit useless given the scale.

Album info
In 2013 I taught English in Plzen, Czech Rep. during the summer. One weekend I went to Prague to see the aviation museum. There I started to have an appreciation for Russian aircraft in service with European nations.
