Hello Guys.  This is the new Trumpeter MiG-21 UM.  Absolute awful kit to work with.  Did not expect that from a new kit.

I had to make the frame in the middle of the cockpit, new IFF ,antennas, reworked the seats a little and added homemade seatbelts.  Also I added a lot of rivets on the model.  

Paints used were Gunze and Revell.  Decals are from Lift Here.  

This model represents a Yugoslav air force MiG-21 UM from the period of 1992-1995 based at the Slatina air base near Pristina in Kosovo.
