Begemot 1/72
MiG-21 Fishbed Complete Stencils

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 THE most complete set of stencils ever produced for the MiG-21. While I've only scanned two of the variants covererd in this set, this stencil sheet provides accurate stenciling and placement instructions for:

• MiG-21F-13
• MiG-21PF
• MiG-21PFS
• MiG-21PFM (Block 15)
• MiG-21PFM (Block 16)
• MiG-21R
• MiG-21SM/MF
• MiG-21bis
• MiG-21U
• MiG-21UM

In addition, the set provides markings for the external pylons and weapons including:

• APU-7
• APU-13
• APU-13MT
• APU-13U
• APU-60-1
• APU-60-2
• R-13 series
• R-60 series
• Type D Reconnaissance Pod
• Type R Reconnaissance Pod
• PTB-490 External Fuel Tanks
• PTB-800 External Tank
• UB-16-57 series rocket pods
• UB-32-57 series rocket pods
• S-24 rockets
• UPK-23-250 gun pods
• PBK-500
• ODAB-500P
• FAB-500M
• ZB-500Shn

The decal printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed on two sheets that provide decal placement for each aircraft type and external stores placement.

This set is definitely recommended!
