1:48 MiG-21 F - Big Sin Essential Set (for Eduard Kits)

MiG-21F — Big Sin Essential Set (1:48, Eduard)

A bundle of details (super detail), not an aircraft model. Big Sin Essential is a collection of the most important accessories — resin (Brassin) parts and photo-etched metal — for a MiG-21F model in 1:48 scale from Eduard. The Essential line gathers the modifications that lift the look of a model the most into one package, so you do not have to buy them one by one. The set is made by the Czech manufacturer Eduard and is intended for its own MiG-21F kits. Check the exact contents of the bundle against the packaging.

The real subject

The MiG-21F was one of the first versions of the famous Soviet MiG-21 supersonic fighter — a light, fast interceptor. The accessories lift the cockpit, the armament and other areas above the level of plastic.

Working with the accessories

Wash the resin parts free of mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and glue them with cyanoacrylate; protect your airways when sanding. Cut the etched parts from the fret and make the bends over a straightedge or in a bending tool. Lay down primer before painting. Finish the cockpit and the interior areas before you close the fuselage up.

Who the set is for

• For modelers building the MiG-21F 1:48 from Eduard who want the key accessories in one package.
• For more experienced builders — working with resin and etched metal calls for a steady hand.
• It is not an aircraft model — you have to have the base kit.

This is a bundle of accessories for a kit, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package. Use a respirator and ventilate when sanding resin.
