FineScale Modeler 11 1998

The MiG-21 has been produced in greater numbers than any other jet fighter - more than 10,000 - and its unlikely that mark will ever be eclipsed. It is also one of the most widely used fighters ever, and while no longer state-of-the-art, Fishbeds will serve with several air forces well into the 21st century. The Academy release can represent an early or late version of the MiG-21PF. The parts feature finely engraved panel lines and good detail. Several parts aren't used in this kit, indicating common molding sprues and parts for future editions. Decals in this kit provide markings tor Chinese, Egyptian, North Vietnamese, and Sonet machines. I chose the Egyptian aircraft because of its attractive camouflage scheme. Assembly following the 10-page instructions is straightforward. The cockpit and ejection-seat detailing is adequate tor the scale. Instead of the recommended "blue gray" for the interior, I used Testors new Model Master II USSR interior blue-green, then painted the seat gray and black. Add weight to the nose cone, then paint it dark green before inserting it into the fuselage.
