1/48 Academy MiG-21 bis 

of the IAF

The MiG-21 bis is one of my favourite Fighter aircraft.  I used to get thrilled when I used to see these aircraft flying over Pune city in India.  The Indian Air Force still flies these beautiful fighters.  Some of the BIS versions are being upgraded to the Bison version with upgraded avionics, countermeasures, cockpit and the canopy.  I selected the Academy Minicraft kit as it was bundled with IAF markings.  I have used the local acrylic colours to paint the model. 

Hope you like it.
