I'm slowly whiffing a MiG-31.

Does anyone have some spare modern Ukrainian AF national markings suitable for use on a large sized fighter a/c such as the MiG-31.

Thank-you.

I might have some 1/72 Su-27 ones you could have, will look them out and check against tje MiG 31 in my stash

Pretty sure I've got some from a Trumpy Su-15.

If you have I would like them. As a fair bit of my stash was moulded in the country it makes sense to use their markings for whiffs.

Sorry I've not got back to this sooner. The reason is that I'm still looking. The decals are NOT in the box of the Su-15, nor are they with the instructions (different place). That means they're in the wrong box or with the wrong instructions, and that's an awful lot of places to look...

FOUND THEM!

Knew that would happen as soon as I admitted that I'd lost them... :rolleyes:
They'd slipped inside something else in my decal stash in such a way that they looked like part of it.

There are:
Six red-white-red stars (Russian)
Three pairs of light-blue bort numbers: 70, 30 and 60
Four roundels and two fin flashes printed with an incorrect dark blue
Four roundels and two fin flashes printed on separate sheet with the correct light blue

Drop me a DM and I'll get them in the post to you. ;D

Don't you just LOVE it when a plan comes together?  ;D :wub: :thumbsup:
