Shar2 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Mikoyan Mig-21MFN Eduard/Brassin Eduard/Brassin 1:48 With the release of the weekend edition of the Mig-21MFN reviewed HERE, it was only a matter of time before Eduard/Brassin released some detail sets for it. These three small sets are enough to lift the kit from the ordinary to something a little bit special. The Brassin set is to replace the kits ejection seat. The seat is built up from the main seat unit, to which the resin seat squab, backrest and headbox, and three side plates are attached. The PE parts are then added, these include the seat firing handle, seat release handle and a small rear mounted vane fitting. The seat is also provided with Eduards super fabric seatbelts, which while quite fiddly to assemble, what with all the PE buckles and fittings, they will look most realistic when fitted. The cockpit set contains a small sheet of parts, most of which comprise the pre-painted panels for the instrument panel and side consoles. The set also includes additional handles, levers, a new throttle box, ejection seat fittings, and a full set of seatbelts. There is also a part for the canopy and plumbing for the main undercarriage legs. Not bad for such a small sheet. The last item is a sheet of masks. These aren’t just for the canopy as they also contain the masks required to the various dielectric panels on the aircraft as well as for the wheels. Conclusion IF you really want to add that little extra to your Mig-21MFN then these three sets will certainly help, although perhaps having three different styles of seatbelts may be a little much. At least Eduard gives the modeller plenty of choice. Highly recommended Review sample courtesy of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
