I need a little rest from Colt, so I started the MiG-21bis.
Bis was build in two variants: Izdelye 75A with CGI Lazur system, and Izdelye 75B with Polyot OI ILS sytem.

The first two in the row:


1. MiG-21bis-SAU 'Fishbed-N'

700 views but no comments? What's going on here?

Darko, although I'm not an expert for Russian jets and can't say if there are any errors, but the profiles really look amazing! Any chance to see some Details?

Cheers, Simon
