Placeholder for my project for this GB.
i was planning to build this model of another what if GB some time ago, but never got round to starting it.
the model is an Academy 1/72 Mig-21 Fishbed in Royal Netherlands Air Force markings (decals from an Italeri 1/72 F-104G Starfighter).

i still have another 1/72 KP Mig-21bis in the stash, might enter that one in West-german or Belgian colors

Just a note that it probably wouldn't be Royal Netherland Air Force anymore, but some form of Democratic or Peoples republic instead.

Only if they've gone full Commie though. They might be neutral, playing both sides against the middle and buying hardware from both, Finland or early Yugoslavia-style.

Yep... You should pair it with a Dutch Draken...
