I think the lower design is better Dizzy, the top one has too stylish a car outline to be soviet

Torpedo-GAS, set two speed records.

So THAT'S what they did with old Mig-9 drop tanks!

AFAIK, there were at least 27 ChADI vehicles thoroughput the years, some of them record holders in their respective classes.

Meanwhile, Mos Eisley, space port... err, or wasn't it Chrakov?

Not 100% happy with the self-made decals, since they tended to bleed under the coat of varnish - it's a kind of reddish glow. But, thanks to the deep red trim on the car, this flaw almost looks like a natural design twist. Looks pretty retro, but I think it has a late Soviet touch?

[Old Wombat]

Looks awesome, Dizzy!

[PR19_Kit]

Looks awesome, Dizzy!

... and very red too. 

[Old Wombat]

... and very red too. 

Shouldn't that be "Red"?

[PR19_Kit]

... and very red too. 

Shouldn't that be "Red"?

Both of the above........... 

[NARSES2]

Looks awesome, Dizzy!

Putting it mildly. Looks terrific

[jalles]

That really does look fantastic 

[Dizzyfugu]

Thanks a lot! And it once was a (very) crappy MiG-21 kit... 

[Dizzyfugu]

Almost there... and I finally found a use for those dark red stencils from Italeri's 1:72 MiG-37 kit!

Looks purposeful! 

[loupgarou]

Fantastic! Will it keep an open cockpit?

[Dizzyfugu]

No (even though that would be an interesting alternative!), there's the rest of the 1:144 Tonka canopy lurking around on the work bench somewhere. And the shock cone in the air intake will also grow and probably protrude even forward of the lower lip.
