DaveJL Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hello all, I'm planning on building one of the upgraded Romanian Mig-21 LanceRs soon. I'm going for the 3 tone grey/white scheme. I'm under the impression that the LanceR C version that has this paint scheme was/is only for air to air. However, I've found this picture: (Net photo) Carrying the Litening pod, so my question is, is this variant wired for LGBs too? If so, is it only the IAI Lizard and Griffin, or can it carry the GBU-12? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Nice pic! As far as I remember no Gbu-12... But you coud use R-73s Python IIIs or Magic2s.... not bad,no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks mate. Yes, was considering using Magic 2s until I saw the above. What LGBs would the LanceR C carry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Nice! What scale is it going to be? Is there a conversion kit or are you going to scratch all the necessary lumps bumps probes and prongs etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes with everything I need, bar the ordnance. I quite like the idea of a Mig-21 from the 1970s with a targeting pod and LGBS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Nice! Got a couple of eduard bis in the stash. Now I need another one to do this scheme aswell. Damn this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Will be doing a Croatian Bis myself at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Actually i think these are MF looking at the spine and tail fin, not bis... Dont need to buy another bis then, can use one of my MF overtrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niki Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The A2G LanceR A variant was the lower cost (lack of Elta 2032 radar) cousin of the LanceR C. There was stuff the LanceR A couldn't do compared to the C, but nothing really the A could do that wasn't accessible to the LanceR C. Anyway, after the LanceR A was sent into retirement, the LanceR C officially became what it had been from the beginning: a multirole (I'm referring here to the ability of conducting A2A and A2G missions - not getting into the theory and true capabilities of a multirole...). Mind you, a targeting pod hung under the belly isn't automatically associated with an A2G mission. They do use it for A2A target identification at greater range also. Lots of choices for you then of things to put under the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIS also has shorter air intake lip and slightly rounder front fuselage. Cheers, AaCee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
