MiG-21 bis 1/48 Scale Plastic Model Kit © Eduard - Model Accessories, s.r.o. 2021 www.eduard.com 84130-NAV1 item # 84130 The MiG-21 was the most-produced supersonic fighter in the world and served with more than fifty Air Forces over four continents. This tiny interceptor or fighter-bomber played remarkable role in many wars and local conflicts from sixties to eighties, allowing many pilots to achieve their ace combat status. The MiG-21 was one of a long-lists of Mikoyan-Gurevich designs to be integrated into the armed forces of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact, and allied client states. Its predecessors included such notable types as the MiG-15, MiG-17, and the supersonic MiG-19. The roots of MiG-21 project reach back to the first half of the fifties. In 1954, when the preliminary design study Ye-1 came to its end and was quickly replaced by the reworked Ye-2 prototype. Both had a swept wing. The first MiG design to feature the delta wing was the Ye-4 pro- totype, which took to the air for the first time on June 16, 1955. It was also demonstrated a year later at the Moscow airfield Tushino. The new aircraft with the MiG-21 designation was the first success- ful Soviet design integrating fighter and interceptor characteristics. It was also quite light Mach 2 aircraft, although the long-lasting de- velopment was adding weight gradually. The design featured sleek fuselage with the front air intake and shock cone. This feature later limited future development due to the very small space available for the radar. Cold War warrior The first of the new line to enter production was the MiG-21F, which together with the MiG-21P and MiG-21F-13 represented the first ge- neration of this line. These versions were in production through the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties. Subsequent versions included the PF, FL, PFM and R with production of these peaking at the end of the sixties. The third generation started production in 1968 and included the most advanced versions of MiG-21 like the M, SM, MF, SMT or bis among others. Simultaneously, two-seat training versions were also produced designated MiG-21U, UM and US. Production of the MiG-21 ended in 1985. The new aircraft came off So- viet production lines in Moscow, Gorky and Tbilisi, the MiG-21F-13 was also built under license in Czechoslovakia and the MiG-21FL, M and bis in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. The Soviet Union produced 10,645 examples of all versions, 194 were built in Czechoslovakia and 657 in India. That counts 11,496 aircraft produced. Over the course of the Cold War, the opponents of the MiG-21 included the likes of the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter or the Dassault Mirage III. NATO assigned it the reporting name “Fishbed”, while the Soviet pilots called it “Balalaika” due to the shape resembling it with the po- pular Russian musical instrument. Aces from Asia, Middle East or Africa Outside of the Soviet Union, the type flew with a long list of nations on four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and South America) and partici- pated in many conflicts and wars. The most remarkable combat use includes the Vietnam war, the Indo-Pakistan wars, the Cuban partici- pation in Angola and in the Arab world’s attempts to eliminate Israel. It was no wonder there were many pilots achieving their ace status flying one or more variants of MiG-21. Thanks to the high volume of use and intensive combat actions, the Vietnamese pilots are topping the list of aces of MiG-21. The top of the ladder is occupied by Nguyen Van Coc (9 kills) with three eight-victory aces following: Mai Van Cuong, Nguyen Hong Nhi and Pham Thanh Ngan. From the other nations the Syrian pilots Bassam Hamshun and Majid Zugbi both achieved seven kills flying MiG-21MF, while Adeeb Al- -Jarf had the same score with MiG-21FL and Egyptian pilots Ali Vajai, Sami Marei and Sami Marei scored five times. In the interceptor role the MiG-21 served with the Soviet Union and other nations of the Warsaw Pact into the eighties when it began to be replaced by the MiG-23 in seventies and MiG-29 Fulcrum in eighties. This kit: MiG-21bis The MiG-21bis had designation “Izdelye 75” in factory documentation. As opposed to the MF and SMT versions, it was intended to be a figh- ter with ground attack capability as only the secondary role. It was powered by a Tumanskiy R-25-300, the engine was more powerful than unit used with MiG-21SM and it also offered better economy. The maximum thrust rose from 6,490 kp of the R-13-300 to 9,900 kp of the R-25-300. Because of the change of the engine, the diameter of the frontal air inlet had to enlargened from 870 m to 900 mm. The regula- tion cone stayed the same as with the SM version, but the radar inside was changed from the RP-22SM unit to the RP-22M (Jay Bird) one, capable to follow the air targets when detected against the ground surface background. There was also bigger No. 7 fuel tank installed (600 l instead of 510 l) in the fuselage, which necessitated bigger, more spacious fuselage ridge. But it was not as big as with the MiG-21SMT version, where the huge 900l tank affected the general performance of the aircraft negatively. The MiG-21BIS was armed with a twin barreled GSh-23-2L 23mm cannon with 200 rounds per weapon. Hardpoints could be loaded with R-13M, R-55, R-60 and R-60M missiles, UB-16-57 or UB32A rocket pods, S-24 unguided rockets, bombs up to 500 kg caliber, and ZB-360 napalm bombs. The aircraft was delivered to nations of the former Warsaw Pact and the Third World either as the model “Izdelye 75A” with the Lazur ground control intercept system, or as the “Izdelye 75B” with the Po- lyot OI ILS (Instrument Landing System). The former carried the NATO code “Fishbed N”, and the latter “Fishbed K”. Both versions served as “Izdelye 75” with Soviet VVS and PVO units.

The unit was equipped with stthe MiG-21bis and was based at Kokaity in Uzbekistan, a Soviet Socialist State at the time. Three days after the invasion beginning, the 1 Squadron moved

thto Bagram Air Base, followed by a second Squadron on January 23, 1980. Due to the lack of any enemy fighters, the 115 GIAP became involved in ground th thsupport duties together with the 136 APIB. MiG-21bis aircraft of the 115 GIAP used in Afghanistan were painted in green and brown on the upper surfaces

at the beginning of the war, with lower surfaces in a blue-grey tone.

The newest version of the MiG-21, the “bis”, was purchased to the tune of twenty-six pieces by the Finnish Air Force in the latter half of the seventies. The first aircraft were delivered in 1978, and at the beginning of the eighties, these aircraft began to be westernized. The process included a new instrument panel and radio equipment compatible with those of west European aircraft. The aircraft coded MG-130 was delivered to Finland on July 17, 1980, and its westernization was conducted during 1982. It made its last flight on March 7, 1998, and it can currently be seen on the roof terrace of the Verkkokauppa Oy Shopping Center in Helsinki. At the beginning of the eighties, MG-130 carried the camouflage scheme in which it was delivered from the Soviet Union, i.e. brown and green on the upper and side surfaces, while the lower surfaces in light grey.

D MiG-21bis, C2283, No.3 Squadron „Cobras“, Pathankot AB, India, early ´90s

C2283 displays a unique combination of camouflage scheme and colorful ID markings. The unit personnel named their aircraft after snakes, among which “Rattler”, “Mamba” and “Cobra” are known. The dorsal section of the fuselage was taken from another MiG-21bis, probably from a “Mamba”. The history of No.3 Squadron goes back to October 1941, when the unit was activated in Peshawar, equipped with the Hawker Audax. During the second half of the Twentieth Century, the unit took part in every conflict that India was involved in with neighboring states. The No.3 Squadron used the MiG-21bis from July 1980 to 2002, when it was re-equipped with the modernized MiG-21 “Bison”.
