Title: Chengdu J-7C (MiG-21MF)
Post by: Katyusha454 on January 13, 2018, 02:24:43 PM

The Chengdu J-7C was a reverse-engineered copy of the MiG-21MF.  Very few were produced and photographs are somewhat rare, but one example (with a pretty cool paint scheme) happens to be exhibited in the Sichuan Science & Technology Museum, and there are some excellent pictures of it.

Here are a few sample pics; the link below includes numerous detail shots including close-ups of various stencils.

If anyone does want to make this, I would really appreciate it if you also made a generic version without any insignia or numbers.  There aren't a whole lot of generics available for the MiG-21 and this camo is really cool and I'd love to be able to use it with the markings of the air force of my choice.
