Could have been better fit in engine quarters , overall nice kit
Well molded and flash free the Mig 21 MF 1/32 does not disapoint in many regards. Biggest complaint is the engine is made in quarters which have to be glued together in order to complete the engine and this could easily have been molded better. The old Revell kit had a less detailed engine but it was a better molding. Excellent store of weapons and options for arming the MF in it's multi-role capacity .Mine has two bombs for ground attack with rocket pods too. Also consider the Air to Air role but went with the ground attack missions.
Initial Review of MiG-21
Pretty good kit for just opening it. There are a lot of weapon options. The sprues are thick and very strong. Sprue cutters are definitely recommended to detach pieces for assemply. DO NOT let them bend off. They will tear out plastic from the piece and you'll have to repair it.
Other options are gear up or gear down and many different flight control positions.
Hardest part is to figure out what paint job to put on it. SOOO many different variants used during Vietnam. Russian, North Vietnam and Chinese paint schemes.
Excellent kit
5 stars because it includes 3 figures, ammo and can, and cockpit ladder- which I wish more kits would include. Fidelity was great- I had the usual snafu of the rear fueselege connections containing the engine- some putty and patience. Good decals and stores options. Crisp panel lines and a well
done cockpit.
