Begemot Decals is an interesting decal company from Rostov-on-Don, Russia that offers a nice array of markings for Russian-built aircraft. In this release, they've provided part two of a wealth of markings for the MiG-21 that spans the aircraft's lifespan.

There are 11 aircraft covered in this set:

  • MiG-21PF, 1851, JG 8, East German AF, 1965
  • MiG-21PF, 2408, 10 Ftr Regt, Polish AF, 1967

The decal printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed on two sheets that provide not only decal placement for each aircraft, but also a nice color reference for each aircraft as well. Decals include the distinctive aircraft markings as well as appropriate national markings.

This set is definitely recommended!
