At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, five Chengdu J-7 aircraft of the PLAAF August 1 aerobatic team, were painted in the five colours of the Olympic rings, and given event mascot logos. The J-7 is the final derivative of the licence built MiG-21 F-13, and still serves in significant numbers with the PLAAF. Soon after the Olympic event, the J-7 was replaced in the August 1 team by the J-10 trainer#
This is the 1/144 Trumpeter kit of the J-7 EB
Although it's a nice little kit and goes together well enough, it does have a few flaws, though they're not insurmountable (see my build thread for more)
And just for comparison, a little further away to show how small thew thing ist!
