SAT69 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Nice clean build. I like the paint work and the markings. That ejection seat is very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Very nice MiG-21 sir! Great build of an iconic Cold War fighter that's still serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Lovely clean build, love the choice of camouflage ! Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 very neat. I'll put a @Linescriber in as he might have some comments... Now, Eduard don't do a MiG-21FL, (and they could as they do all the bits) I managed to get a PFM tail sprue off them to do one, so how id you do yours? for those who want a crash course in MiG-21 variants... see here http://mig-21.de/english/technicaldataversions.htm Great model, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one of the Eduard Limited Edition 'Silver Arrows' sets since it had the sprues for the PF, PFM and MF. I know its potentially an expensive way to produce a MiG-21FL but until Eduard deem it financially viable to market one its the only way forward. Never understood why they did not since there are some attractive Indian and Middle Eastern colour schemes out there for the FL variant. As for the subject of this thread.....very nice Well Done, Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and also with fascinating operational history.... There is also a lack of decent decals though, the Indian ones can be assembled, but there is a distinct lack of accurate Arab ones .... They do have all the bits, but apart from the Silver Arrows set, not in one box! I got the PFM sprue when Eduard did the 'postman' sale, offering free shipping, I bough a load and asked for a fin sprue. In 72nd they do a PF/PFM kit, so I believe all the bits needed are in one box. @PranayKumar99, what unit and when is your FL representing? Is this one of the Indian built planes?

This is a bird from the 30 squadron (Rhinos), I'll get the logo and serial numbers printed after the lockdown is opened in India. Yes, this one of the ones built in India and also later upgraded with 4 pylons under the wing and AoA vane (Scratch built) near the nose cone. 10 hours ago, Troy Smith said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I have at least one FL planned but in my scale = 1/72 ;). It will accompany my MiG-21U/UM in IAF markings (to be built too) Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
