According to Air Force Monthly issue of April 2004 the aircraft numbered 3608 is stored but still serviceable, and will be returned to target towing duties after 2005.
Albania still has one H-5 (Chinese copy of Il-28) in its inventory for target towing and it should still be operational. Vietnam had a squadron of Il-28 in the 70′.
I just thermo formed it on the basis of a wooden carved master. The Bilek should be fine for a conversion. Try to addapt a windscreen from a Mig 21UM Huma or some eatern brand of a Mig 23MF and add a canopy from a Mig 29 or some of other bulbous canopy from other kits.
I built the old MiG 21 F-13 Academy kits into the F-7II and the F-7MG. This kit in per se it is not bad but it somewhat crude and oversized in scale. I recently came across the new release Mig 21 F-13 of Revell. It seems pretty nice and accurate and it should be easy to turn it into a F-7M.
The following article depicts among other things the shooting down of a USAF B-47 by a Soviet MiG 19. In truth the later part of the article was more interesting to me. http://www.55srwa.org/55_olmstead.html
