Whats the best large scale MiG-21 out there?

[Aviacom]

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

Trumpeter.

I believe I used the Black Box/Avionix 'pit set in mine, and liked it very much.

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.

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.

Oh great! Now Quinta comes out with those , sure could of used some help back when LOL!

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.

Wowa.  That is a nice upgrade. What other features do I have to add to complete the lance R variant?

Yupp this seems to happen a lot.

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.

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.

Indeed! It is a pity there is no PF or PFM in 1/32...

[ade rowlands]

If only Eduard would churn out their Mig 15’s and 21’s in 1/32.

Trumpeter has the best 1/32 MiG-21 kits.

 

Check out a few (corrected) Revell and Trumpeter MiG-21 models made on my website.....

Your MiG-15 and FT.6 kit bash to create a MiG-15UTI and -17 is particularly inspiring, so thanks for the guide!

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.
