MiG-Mech Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 So, maybe we can hope for 1/72 MiG-21 twin seater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes, he (ya-gabor) wrote almost the same thing here: http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_78141.html 3 hours ago, MiG-Mech said: So, maybe we can hope for 1/72 MiG-21 twin seater. You can hope for anything, a question in time. According to optimistic forecasts, 48th will appear in two years ..... this is most likely a MiG-21F-13 will be. After how many two seat will appear? In three to five years? And when will be 72nd? 8-10 years old? Can you predict what will happen in 10 years? In the meantime, while Eduard is going to do in the 72th two-seater MiG-21, they can easily be made by Modelsvit or "TrumpoBoss". B.R.

tony.t Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Really need a new MiG-21 series in 1/32 scale, in roughly the same sequence as Eduard have released their smaller scale offerings. However, the vista 2021 Eduard 1/48 F-13 and UM types will be super, if its PF and MF are anything to go by. A minor rudder discrepancy aside, there is no doubt that the 1/48 Trumpeter F-13 is superior to its 1/32 offering, especially in its treatment of the inner windshield and gunsight arrangement, but I sincerely hope that Eduard do something far more convincing with the F-13 and UM bifurcated inlet. It's a pity the Su-15TM Flagon didn't see Czech service, as a decent representation of those is long overdue. GWH maybe? I heard rumours of suitable "intel" being passed to the Chinese model makers.

Homebee Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) A dream is coming true. To me the MiG-21F-13 is the most iconic version of the type. Expected late 2022 (November ?)

drake122 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 This will probably only include czech-made airframe markings. I think the original Russian production ones had different canopy frames/windows and possibly other changes, but I am no expert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not an expert either but I don't believe the differences are huge, certainly no more so than the differences between the SMT/MF/bis/PFM which Eduard sold as variations of the same tooling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor am I. However the only difference I can think of is really just the replacement of the transparent windows behind pilot's seat with metal panels. I see no reason why would Eduard produce just the Czechoslovak version, thus significantly decreasing their sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I asked Eduard today about progress on their 1/72 U/US/UM and was told there is none :(. I mentioned the 1/48 plan mentioned in this thread and was told "No, we do not have those in 1/48 either." All very confusing!!! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Avery good news indeed ! Looking back at the past years, it's obvious that Eduard's designers have already think of several versions for this Mig-21 F-13, with a smart pre planned evolution of the sprues. Here is the list of the operating countries of this first generation of the "Sixties" of the Mig-21, enough to give us some very good ideas of the re-boxing potential for Eduard. - Afghanistan ; - Albania (Chengdu F-7A) ; - Algeria ; - Bulgaria ; - China ; - Czechoslovakia ; - East Germany ; - Egypt ; - Finland ; - Hungary ; - Indonesia ; - Iraq ; - Israel (ex-Iraq test plane) ; - North Korea ; - North Vietnam ; - Poland ; - Romania ; - Syria ; - Soviet Union / USSR ; - USA (ex-Israel & ex-Algeria test planes) ; - North Vietnam ; - Yugoslavia ; Personally, I am already thinking of a Eduard 1/48 scale Mig-21 F-13 box called ‘’1967 Six Day Warriors’’ with markings for Algeria, Egypt, Irak and Syria ! 🙂 SharkOwl Edited December 28, 2021 by SharkOwl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Am I correct in thinking the Chinese version of the MiG-21 F-13 is the Chengdu F-7? Saw some Albanian ones and would love to build one of those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some Albanian ones and would love to build one of those! The Albanians look great indeed. Some 12? were delivered I think. And yes, the F-7A is more or less a F-13. China used this version to further develop it and still? is exporting them with a double delta wing but basically same fuselage! with as FG, etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHWinter Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Well, better late than never, as they say… Been waiting for Eduard kitting the MiG 21 F-13 for ages, so one more year won't do me no harm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
