Once it was much easier to spot a MiG-21 on Eastern Europe sky than a real bird. Now it is only Croatia, Serbia and Romania who is left operating this machine in Europe.Romanian Air Force use aircraft built in 70s, modernized at the turn of the century - the MiGs-21MF-75 LanceR. There are three versions of the LanceR: A is for ground attack, B is trainer, and C is fighter. This set is about the fighter.

6487 was chosen because I liked the font. A proper stencil-painted id-number. Like the olden days. It was a refreshment from the deformed unfortunate Arial-spawned numbers seen on many airplanes of smaller air forces in recent years. Bear in mind this is how 6487 appeared in 2012.
