Mig-21 UPF

An alternative version of the MIG 21 sporting a stacked jet engines (similar to the English Electric Lightning) and sporting colors seen in the 60'ties.

This was commissioned by who also provided the text below to go with the image.

Description: In 1964, a MiG company representative observed the final show of the RAF Firebirds display team. Enamored with the noise and power of the English Electric Lightnings, the MiG company "confirmed the correctness of the design decisions" of their latest Mig-21 prototype. The design entered service in time to participate in the invasion of the Czechoslovak Soviet Republic, intercepting Czech Il-28 bombers attempting to attack the Red Army armored columns approaching Prague.

We went to several changes along the way but in the end this one worked best.
