I'm normally a prop guy, but seems I'm feeling pulled towards jet power, can anyone suggest a nice jet I could build with a nice Indian Air Force scheme.

I seem to remember a Mig 21 kit with Tiger markings.......Anything like this would interest me. Bearing in mind, I don't use an airbrush though.........

Cheers and chocks away!

Albatros Decals has two MiG-21 sets (#48-012 and #48-013) that have some unusual and interesting schemes for Indian Air Force birds. They would work with Academy's 1/48 MiG-21MF. I haven't seen this kit at the LHS for a while, but they're somewhat readily available on eBay.

Zotz Decals carries Albatros stuff, and the above sets are still listed on the company's website.

Thanks YL There's some nice schemes there. I'm looking for 1/72 though.

I automatically assumed 1:48, but no worries; Zotz has the same sets in 1:72 as well (Albatros # 72-012 and #72-013).

I don't build much in 1:72, but I've read good things about Zvezda's MiG-21bis kit.

HTH.

Also if you want to make a modernised mig 21 kit you got lo look for Mig-21 Bison.This upgrade has a different shaped canopy at first.

Well, even if you can't find decals for the tiger scheme and since you're brush painting, there were quite a few finished on overall light (or medium) gray.
