My one and only MiG-21 so far, a Polish A.F. PF from the early 1960’s. This was made with the Bilek MiG-21PF Fishbed “D”. Kit. 

 

 

One of many that will be in my Polish A.F. Collection.

I like these sleek early MiG-21s.  I've got one in the stash.  I like this one, Dennis!

Just two from me, though I have many in the stash:

 

Left is a Mig-21R of the Yugoslav AF. This one was flown to Klagenfurt by R Peresin who then defected (?) to the Croatian AF and was killed in action later. That's the Kopro kit.

 

Right is an MF of the Afghanistan AF from a Fujimi kit. Not sure where I got the decals but it was not in that kit. Obviously a nicer/easier build than the Kopro but both look good at this distance, I think!

 

Both 1/72.

Hi All, 

 

I built this 1/48 Eduard MiG-21R for a previous GB.

 

The Eduard kit is excellent, one the best kits I've come across.

Heller Mig21F converted ( over a thirty year period  ) to an MF and finished in north Vietnamese colours.

Four Fishbeds in my collection so far, all built for GBs - the 2021 Africa GB and Interceptor GB

 

 

 

 

The last one is definitely the pride of my collection 😁

These are the three I currently have, all Eduard I believe.  Gentlemans Scale, of course.  I am particularly fond of the Angolan Mig.  I think I nailed the paint job.

My entries for the previous Mig-21 STGB.

 

 

 

All were built from the Zvezda Mig-21bis kit with some modifications where necessary.

 

The Cuban Mig-21bis simply used Aztec decals.

 

 

The Syrian Mig-21MF used a Quickboost fin and spine intended for the Trumpeter kit.

 

 

The North Vietnamese Mig-21PFM used a spine from a ballpoint pen and a lot of Milliput.

 

 

The Egyptian Mig-21PF used the fin, spine and canopy from a Matchbox kit.

 

 

Of course, these days there is no need to jump through hoops like this.  Most of the mid and late versions are covered by Eduard.

 

i also built a Finnish Mig-21MF in the first Ragnar's Rampage GB.

Come on man I want to see some crazy insane masking schemes!!!!

 

 

This scheme has to be done in reverse, dark to light!

 

 

 

 

 

All done with a single action airbrush (a cheap one) and Master Model (Testers) enamel paint. She's 1/48th, the next proper one will be 1/32nd!
