I plan to convert my Eduard 1/48 MiG-21BIS to one of the ones that the Finnish AF modified into a reconnaissance fighter. I can probably scratch build the modified VICON 18 camera pod that they used, but they also carried some kind of chaff/flare pods underneath, where the RATO units would've been installed. There is one picture of aircraft MG-114 in the book MiG-21 in Finnish Air Force, but it's hard to see what type of pod it is. Here's a closeup of the picture, can anybody help me with more info? It almost looks like an ALKAN 5081, like the one the Super Etendard SEM carries, but wider & flatter. I wonder if it is a pod made in Finland? http://www.defense.gouv.fr/var/dicod/storage/images/base-de-medias/images/ema/afghanistan/06-10-08-afghanistan-3-mirage-2000d-succedent-aux-super-etendard-de-la-17f/sem-en-vol-1/291702-1-fre-FR/sem-en-vol-1.jpg Larry

I have started working on Eduard's 1/48 MiG-21R, and had a question about the writeup on version A. It mentions that chaff/flare dispensers could be carried by the MiG-21R, but were not visible in photographs. The only MiG-21 version I have seen with external chaff/flare dispensers is the MiG-21-93. I doubt the Soviets would've scabbed on such dispensers on their MiG-21Rs. Does anybody know how they were carried? I think they are talking about the dispensers in the bottom rear of some of the recce pods, is that the case? Larry EDIT: I just went through the entire instructions and saw the dispensers and where they are located. Now to figure out if I want to use the type recce pod they suggest, or try a different one.
