IPMS19 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 - For sure not a Fishpot, I think some kind of what-if owing to these strange apex on the leading edge fuselage link, rounded looking wing tips , large wing fence and strange fin with both a look of MIG 19, unless some prototype or paper work base on the Mig 21.......Can't tell more considering the title of the post as another cue. - E molto bello Giampiero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiampieroSilvestri Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) It is a what if Russian fighter prototype put together using the front part from a Academy 1/48 scale Mig-21,the fuselage and the wings of a Heller Mirage III and the fin under the fuselage,wing fences and rudder of a HiPM Mig-19.All the white parts are from a AAmodel Chengdu J-7.

JohnT Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Given the designs from the period in the USSR design bureau it’s a very credible WHIFF. Nice one We see loads of Luftwaffe 46 and not enough Cold War maybes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
