About the aircraft:
MiG-21PFM - representative of the second generation of MiG-21 aircraft. 132 aircrafts were used in Poland. 12 of them were in 94N version - nuclear weapons carrier.
About the copy:
MiG-21PFM with the side number 7903 - most of the time stationed with the rest of 94Ns at the 2nd Fighter Air Regiment at Goleniów. Presented livery shows plane before major overhaul - still painted only with clear coat. After overhauls in the mid-1980s, 94Ns lost their functions as carriers of special weapons.
About the model:
The base was Eduard's kit "MiG-21PFM" in 1/72 scale. IAB-500 bomb and undercarriage beam are from Advanced Modeling set. Own decals, Bilmodel paints.
IAB-500:
IAB-500 was a dummy bomb. Filled with almost a quarter of a ton of liquid fuel, it exploded creating a fireball about 100-120 meters in diameter for 3-4 seconds and then a cloud of smoke as high as 1 kilometer.
This is an impressive model, the finish on it looks just like aluminum, and on a tiny 1/72 model ! Great work on this aviation art, @konrad !
Than you Jay Mitchell (@ssgt) 🙂
I was affraid that third MiG-21 is too much for iModeler team 🙂
MiG-21s are like Me-109s… you can’t have too many of them !
25% of planned job after me 🙂
Excellent result, Konrad @konrad
Hard to believe this is just a 1/72 kit.
The NMF turned out beautifully.
