High value 250 g/m2 silky luster paper poster at the size of DIN A3 (420x297 mm, 16 1/2 x 11 3/4'', DIN A2 and DIN A1 optional) with aircraft scheme and textual descriptions.
Background storyThe NATO Tiger Meet 1996 at Beja/Portugal offers the 321 Tigers the chance for coloring another jet with the markings of the tiger. But this time it should be the entire airplane getting a tiger scheme. Because the wing was still engaged in the SFOR operation over the former Yugoslavia, and the airplane had to remain operational, only a black and white scheme stood to discussion and just one single airplane.
One day prior departure to Beja, when the completely painted airplane stood in front of a maintenance hall, some comrades of the competing second (322 monster) squadron desecrated the airplane by painting their squadron crest on both sides of the tail. To de-escalate the situation it was negotiated that the painting could remain on one side of the fin (so to say as a greeting of the monsters to the Tiger Meet where they never could participate). It was decided to take this side of the tail which would not be visible during the landing in Beja, but - damn' - the winds were so unfortunate during the landing period that it was the wrong side. Since then an unknowing seller of plastic models sells its models with the squadron crest of the monsters on the tail of this beautiful tigerjet.
