A pure SF of course. But if it would be the equipment of the PAF she looked like that. :thumbright:

I quite like the idea, but I'm not sure about the colours though, do they look sort of correct?
Somehow, I don't think that they'd be painted silver, like their MiG-21's....😉
 
IMHO , the appearance of the camouflage would depend on the place where the aircraft overhauling was done and the time. The one seen in the profile looks similar to the MiG-23 overhauled in the USSR. However there was the time the plane type was overhauling in Poland and then these were painted silver. So the colour would be also possible. The only difference would be the location of the fuselage Polish White-Red square. It was applied at the fuselage side between the wing trailing adge and the elevator leading one usually. Generally, most of Polish fighter planes were of the NM or silver finish while these strike aircraft wore camouflage.

Of course, this "what if" need to be a 13, a 1013! 😉😎
She'd be looking awesome with 1013 and painted in silver! 😍🥰😎

I wasn't aware of the "sitting duck" marking/scoring. Was it ever considered for the ETO? I vaguely remember Allied fighter pilots getting "kills" for strafed planes from discussion in The Forum.
