Converting Mig-21R to Mig-21RF


MigModeller

Recommended Posts

In a current modelling magazine I noticed that KP have released a new Mig-21R.  What do I have to do to convert it to a Mig-21RF?

 

Alternatively, has anyone made the R.V.Aircraft 1/72 Mig-21RF?

 

I have exhaused my reference material.  I know Egypt was the sole importer of this lesser-known version.

 

Thank you in anticipation

Only external difference was a camera fairing permanently fitted to the lower fuselage below the cockpit.

Mig-21RF was the unofficial designation for 7 locally modified 'R's

Egyptian serials 1501,8501 to 8506 inclusive.

8501,02 and 06 were in tan/green/brown camouflage

There's a cheap copy of that book currently listed on evilBay Germany at the moment, if anybody is interested...don't usually see it going for less than a few hundred quid these days.
