DDR mig 21 number size?

[aurelien wolff]

Hello, page 95 of the DHS on DDR mig 21 PF, SPS and SPS K, there's a scheme showing where the number must be, comparing it to the eduard profile, they don't seem to be at the same size and position than on the scheme (the 140mm between the "Bugluke" and the number doesn't seem to be respected per example).

Thanks for your answers!

But the "687" is not the MiG-21PFM ( SPS) but the MF variant. She is kept in a museum and might have been repainted for the exibition without following the rules for the markings. However I would say that's the light trick because of the camo and different aircraft sub-type. Anyway, a profile is a general picture for painting and markings and not always it is correct. Just manufacturers make mistakes as well.
