ya-gabor Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Will have to get one. The early F models were fascinating with so many differences from later F-13 versions. Love that they still had the ejection seat from the MiG-19 in them. Best regards Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hothersall Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Same here, I will have to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
172flogger Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 "F" version can be easily converted to the early F-13 with narrow fin. Check fin difference between early F-13 (0904) and late F-13 (other): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaob Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am trying to restrict my buying to 1/48 kits now, but this one looks very interesting. Be nice to have it alongside the 1/72 Revell Mi-21 F-13 kit. Have there been any other kits issued of this early variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya-gabor Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I think VEB Plasticard in 1970's had a 1/100 scale version, but not sure. (I have it somewhere) But it is a joke by todays standard, Ok back in those days it was something special, and at least we had a MiG-21 kit to go with the Draken and other VEB kits. . . It would be interesting to see some photos of the sprues. While the I have several Modelsvit kits and they are very nice, there were few with a questionable quality. I hope that this is one of the new batch with good details and surface! Even thought in Hungary we had "main production version" MiG-21F-13's I have seen at least one airframe whish originally had two guns typical for the early MiG-21F version and it had all the blast panels for it.

172flogger Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Czechoslovakia Air force used only single F-13 with early type narrow fin. With late type canopy locks and only one cannon. Next four F-13s were delivered from Soviet Union too. All original soviet fishbeds were with plexiglass canopy back panel. All other Czechoslovak F-13s (from number 0001) were localy produced in licence. And with dural back-canopy panel. Some Czechoslovak F-13 with solid canopy back were later delivered to Syria. Known 1/72 F-13 kits are: Revell - late type - best first generation MiG-21 kit Bílek - late type - not bad but short-run kit. Only solid canopy back panel Airfix - late type fin - very old but best shape from all west MiG-21 kits from cold war times. Heller - totally wrong "Mirage" wing-fuselage join. Parody. Frog - wrong shape. Old and bad kit. Fin looks like some between early and late type Hasegawa - reboxed Frog Academy - copy of the Hasegawa/Frog with engraved panel lines ----- Resin kits: Omega Models Ye-5 - first MiG-21 prototype. Early narrow fin but many differences from Ye-6 production MiG-21/21F Omega Models - Ye-2/Ye-50 line - MiG-21 prototypes with "MiG-19" swept wing. Omega Models - Chengdu J-7/F-7 - Chinese variants delivered from late F-13 but with many differences and sorry for my English 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first issue of it also had a very extensive decal sheet with [ worth getting over the re-issue], although I think there were some errors in the GDR emblems? Hope Modelsvit keep going with more variants! PS nothing wrong with your English 172Flogger!!!! you write in a much clearer manner than many of my fellow English-speakers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ya-gabor Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Modelsvit What else can I say? ? ? I neeeeeeed this! Love the kits they do, looks fantastic, some excellent details of aircraft that we would never have from major kit makers! Of course they got it right with the "Curtain" type of ejection seat which was used in the F series, till the SK seat was developed for the final (F-13) version. Hope they will do the MiG-21F-13 and eventually one of the two seater versions too! Best regards Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 At least this kit has got a separate nose intake ring - something lacking on their MiG E-152A kit. Trying to get a seam-free joint when the intake lip is part of the two fuselage halves is a nightmare. Each new Modelsvit release is an improvement on a previous kit - more power to them !!!! Ken PS - I know there are now turned steel intakes and nosecone from Mini World - but not in time for my model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
