Machine after being rushed to Vítkovice confessed despite the very interesting original coloring changes. Unfortunately, for the worse. The machine is colored in strong colors of red, blue and yellow colors. The colors were applied well. Obscured by the cockpit appears to be perhaps přestříkán a gray or whitish color, or has been somehow damaged. In the original red color stayed just cover the radar. On the bow (on both sides) is located the logo of the "DOV" and "ST" with the text "the World of technology in Ostrava", the vertical tail area again on both sides of the "MiG 21", all texts are rendered in black color. It is worth noting that the main covers of the chassis (hull) are in the closed position. Taken 4. August 2019..
