This particular MiG-21 sheet is 1/72 scale and has special markings for an aircraft of the 28th Bombardment Regiment at Caslav AFB in 1993. These special markings are on one side of the aircraft showing the dragon while on the other is Letala Bajecne Dlouho, which can be translated as "You've flown wonderfully for a long time". It refers to the situation of Czech Air Force in 90-ties. Thanks to a reader for providing this information. This aircraft is in overall unpainted metal or perhaps silver lacquer and otherwise quite standard looking.
There is a second aircraft for which we are provided just separate nose serials. This on is shown with the camera pod and wing tip pods. It is painted on the upper surfaces in Black and Dark Green, which actually makes it look rather sinister.
No kit is suggested, as seems to be typical for Kopro sheets. I imagine it will fit any appropriate kit of the MiG-21R. The decals are super thin and opaque so should work quite well. Instructions show precisely where each of the special markings are to be applied.
Another interesting sheet that will provide you something different from the norm.
