Check the exact contents of the package and the number of marking options against the manufacturer's part number.

The real subject

The MiG-21 was one of the most widely produced supersonic fighters of the Cold War, distinguished by its delta wing and single jet engine. The PF version was an all-weather interceptor fitted with radar in the air intake cone. The North Vietnamese Air Force flew the light, agile MiG-21 against American air power over North Vietnam, where it exploited its high speed and climb rate in hit-and-run tactics. It became one of the symbols of the aerial battles fought there and remains a popular subject for modelers today.

Building and painting tips

In 1:144 scale, handle the small parts with extra care and glue them with only a small amount of plastic cement, so it does not seep onto visible surfaces. Apply a thin primer before painting; it sprays well with an airbrush. Highlight the panel lines with a fine wash so the model does not lose readability at this compact scale.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Cold War fighters in the small 1:144 scale
  • Anyone interested in the Vietnam War and the VPAF
  • Modelers who want a quick build for a display case or shelf
  • Fans of the legendary MiG-21

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
