About the aircraft: MiG-21PFM - representative of the second generation of MiG-21 aircraft. 132 aircrafts were used in Poland. 12 of them were in 94N version - nuclear weapons carrier. About the copy: MiG-21PFM with the side number 7903 - most of the time stationed with the rest of 94Ns at the 2nd Fighter Air Regiment at Goleniów. Presented livery shows plane before major overhaul - still painted only with clear coat. After overhauls in the mid-1980s, 94Ns lost their functions as carriers of special weapons. About the model: The base was Eduard's kit "MiG-21PFM" in 1/72 scale. IAB-500 bomb and undercarriage beam are from Advanced Modeling set. Own decals, Bilmodel paints. IAB-500: IAB-500 was a dummy bomb. Filled with almost a quarter of a ton of liquid fuel, it exploded creating a fireball about 100-120 meters in diameter for 3-4 seconds and then a cloud of smoke as high as 1 kilometer.

MIG-21 PFM out of the Eduard kit with some accessories (also from Eduard), slightly modified by adding 2 outboard wing pylons (same type and position as on latter versions, M, MF, bis, etc) it was a one-off Romanian “upgrade”; the plane was in service within Fortele Aeriene Romane till late 90’s. Decals (roundels and tactical number) are from spare box; painted with Mr. Color enamels. Any comment is appreciated.

Zvezda released a 1/72 MiG-21PFM about a decade ago, and it seems more or less impossible to find in this country, whereas the -21bis is still somewhat available. I recall there being some unused parts when I built my MiG-21bis a few years back, and I was wondering: OOB, can a MiG-21PFM (or any other MiG variant) be built from the Zvezda MiG-21bis? I know the RV one is out, and I have one, but it looks a tiny bit weird to me and I want a fallback option.
