The J-7 is a single-engine, lightweight fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) of China. Its design is based on its predecessor, the MiG-21 aircraft. The export version of J-7 has been designated the F-7. The J-7 / F-7 has been built principally to meet the requirements of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), and more than 2,400 J-7s are currently operational worldwide. J-7G/MG is known as a ultimate modified for MiG-21, first flew in 2002.

I built this kit straight out of the box, the paint is brushed with Tamiya TS-27 Matt White, antique finish with Panel Line Accent Color from Tamiya.

Just notice the "Tiger Head" mark, because this brigade stationed in northeast China, so Manchurian tiger is the totem, and this is seldom in PLA or PLAAF.
