I use imagebanana for posting the pics. sometimes, when the pages' bandwith is used up, it takes longer to show the pics.

Nice job)  Viva tequila)

Val, just post them in the CA Gallery, and use the 'link back' feature when posting in threads. Works a charm!

I can even see them being used in early 2000's in grey air superiority scheme.

Paint the radar dome in dark grey and will be perfect!

[ValAstur]

I guess you mean like this:

 

[+Wrench]

even thought the radar dish is inside that, it's actually called the "intake shock cone", and moves in and out (on the Real Life ™ one and the TMF Fished) with airspeed, to control airflow turbulence in the intake duct

[+Stratos]

Yeah Mario!! Now it really rules!

 

Thanks for the post Kevin, I didn't knew how it was called in English!

Hello! This a nice project, but I feel this could be even better!

 

What about western weapons or Indian style upgrades? And a more country specific camo would be nice. I know the Mexicans were not terribly imaginative with their camos, but since this is a what-if... :)

[+Wrench]

if you want it Indian AF style, use my Bison

[PraetorH]

Yeah, thanks for the heads-up! I was just thinking more of a Mexican what-if: What if Mexico had MiG-21s and decided to upgrade them in the 80ies or 90ies? What would it look like? The results may be similar to the Bison, but maybe it would have been different...

That is the special attraction of what-ifs imo, you can let go your imagination but still operating within the realms of what was historically possible after a certain event has been changed (in our case, the Mexican introduction of the MiG 21).
