GMK Fishbed - This keycap set is based on the cockpit of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 fighter jet. The MIG-21 has been in service since 1956 and has served in over 60 countries. The jet currently holds the record of being the most produced super-sonic jet-fighter in aviation history. “Fishbed” is the NATO reporting name of the jet, it is also known as “pencil” or “balalaika” thanks to the unique shape of its fuselage.
The cockpit is unique due to its layout and its green turquoise color, the color has been used throughout all the generations and was selected by USSR as it is supposed to relax your eyes and keep them from getting tired. It was also believed that the color reduced stress in combat situations and is excellent at highlighting locations of dials.
GMK Fishbed was purely inspired by the interior of the MIG-21. The black modifier keys reflect the dials in the cockpit with their old beige radium labels. We will make any further changes to make the set even more accurate to the cockpit if needed, we do need to work around what colors we can get.
The red ESC key is just an idea for now, we like it to give the set some spark.
Legends probably need working on, either we take something related to the cockpit, very old, or we take something very new.
We just wanted to see how many people would be interested, we are working on novelty keys taken from the jet. We are open to suggestions, we are still working on all the add-on keys and packs. We chose SA because they have this great old-style look that would fit this set well. The market is unbelievably flooded with GMK sets at the moment so we will be waiting for the release. If there is enough interest to make it a GMK set, we would be willing to do that too. Looks like there is enough interest for GMK instead of SA. Changed!
Picture of Cockpit:


NEWEST UPDATE - Cleared this part so there is a nicer overview of what is happening.
Pricing - They are coming tomorrow, waiting on response from GMK, we are hoping to sell this at around 100 EUR for US Customers and 120 for EU (due to tax), I will be talking with GMK to optimise costs and figure out molds that they might already have (such as novelty arrows or Soviet Novelty)
Time - I hope to have this GB started by the end of January, why? I would like to now spread the word about it with your help, discuss the final touches (since there are some keys to be still completed) and then also finish off renders.
Packs - Would love to have this kit with a NORDIC pack, the Red Pack and possibly a space-bar/blank pack that will fill in the rest.
Where will it be available? - www.candykeys.com
Shipping Price - Ship to US for 11 EUR (not tracked and cheapest method) or 25 EUR (tracked and insured)
Ship to Germany for around 4.50 EUR
Ship to EU for 11 EUR (Anywhere with insurance and tracking)
Cables - There will be CandyCables provided for this set, you will be able to get a cable at a ridicolously cheap price if you purchase it with the set.
UPDATE - 1st of March
RENDERS by Oblotzky - Awesome stuff, thanks man!



The final 2d renders, this is updated, removed and added a few things after many suggestions:

The set is really great, happy with the way it turned out after all these months of waiting, the dark Soviet theme is felt and I can not complain, we might have a small vote on the Ins key which has a white legend due to contrast but that will probably change to black.
The pricing is INCLUDING PAYPAL FEES and CREDIT CARD FEES. The GB will be available tomorrow on our website www.candykeys.com, no proxies but you do not pay EU taxes and it is still a very very very good deal in our minds. This should come off as one of a cheaper GMK sets out there. Thanks a lot all!
