TuanNA Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone Today I would like to introduce to you one of our national treasures The MiG 21 F96-number 5121 was one of the first fighters of the Vietnamese People's Air Force, participating in the air defense campaign to defeat the US B52 strategic ambush on Hanoi and Hai Phong. and some other localities in the North in December 1972 . It shot down 05 American aircraft, including 01 B52 aircraft flown by pilot Pham Tuan on the night of December 27, 1972. At the command post, on the bright screen, the image of the US B52 "Super Flying Fortress" was recorded on fire. Despite the lack of long-range radar and fewer missiles than the US multi-role fighters of the same time, in the hands of Vietnamese pilots, with an innovative way of fighting, the MIG21 made a miracle. Up to 50 countries have been using MIG21, but at that time, only the Vietnam Air Force used MIG1 to attack and shoot down B52 directly. at 1/48 scale, the academy does this pretty well Thanks for watching!

feifeitim Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 That’s a super model - well done! I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting that museum in Hanoi, but I have been to the one in Ho Chi Minh, which was totally fascinating. Your Mig-21 looks very convincing, representing an aircraft that’s been on display outside for years. Knowing the climate there very well, it’s amazing the real one is still in such good condition! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Superb work! Just one criticism, the wheels need the steel anchors to fix to those blocks! Bit unsafe for any 1/48 museum visitors standing nearby! 😉 Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
