Another one finished this year. 1/48 Academy Mig-21MF with Wolfpack cockpit and wheel bays. The decals are from Syhart..

This was from a 2013 group build for our Tulsa club - 6 of us ended up finishing 21's (sorry - can't find those pics at the moment). I had an aftermarket decal set, and chose the Afghan version as I just liked the color scheme. The kit [...]
