Aviacom Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 As per the title, What's the best 1/32 MiG-21 out there and same again for the best aftermarket cockpit for it too? I am really fancying adding a Slovak or Romanian MiG-21 to my display collection, there just something about those two schemes! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I believe I used the Black Box/Avionix 'pit set in mine, and liked it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I built the UM awhile back, not too awfully bad. We're fishing in some pretty shallow waters when it comes to MiG-21s, hopefully that'll change considering the usage of so many different air forces of the world.

Dave Williams Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The only options are the really old Revell kit from the mid-70’s and the Trumpeter kit for the early 2000s. The Revell kit was originally released as a PF, but in the mid 90s they added a couple of new sprues to convert it to a MF. Although the new parts are a bit more detailed, a lot of the main parts in the kit are still from 70’s era tooling, which means simplified and undetailed. The Trumpeter kit was released as a MF, UM, F-13, and Chinese J-7 versions. A bit better detailed, and there’s more aftermarket available for those kits, since they are newer. Red Fox Studio has 3D decals for the Trumpeter MF and Quinta has a set for the UM. Out2gtcha, Polish AFB, Alain Gadbois and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florin13 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Or maybe you prefer a Mig-21 LanceR, in Romanian colors, with an interior upgrade set for LanceR, from Icaerodesign and a set of decals from Hobbypark.

Rick Griewski Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Wowa. That is a nice upgrade. What other features do I have to add to complete the lance R variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Wasn't there a problem of lack of accurate stencils to build a Lancer? Far in my memory, I have the feeling Radu explained something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Not much out there for Op Moked or Yom Kippur ca.1967-73 or anything Arab come to that (cf the horn of comparative plenty in 1/48th) Please tell me I'm wrong and provide a link... I have several MiGs on the go, but the Finnish options I've created limit me. (No longer faffing with Corel Draw.) We really could use a new tool MiG-21 series.

thierry laurent Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Indeed! It is a pity there is no PF or PFM in 1/32... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If only Eduard would churn out their Mig 15’s and 21’s in 1/32. Tony T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your MiG-15 and FT.6 kit bash to create a MiG-15UTI and -17 is particularly inspiring, so thanks for the guide! https://aircraftinplastic.com/models/mig17-32/mig17-2.htm Am planning on copying you this summer on the heels of finally completing a Trumpeter MiG-21F13, for a Finnish -15UTI trainer and probably a North Vietnamese -17 — the dearth of Egyptian markings for the Fresco, my first choice, being a problem. It's such a shame that Eduard have ruled out a 1/32 MiG-21 series. Its 1/48 Fishbeds are so good, with more on the way late this year or early next.
