MiG-21PFM SOVIET SUPERSONIC FIGHTER 1:48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT 8237 intro The MiG-21 was one of a long list of Mikoyan-Gurevich products 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 this project reach back to the first half of the fifties. In 1954, the Ye-1 project came to an end, and was quickly picked up by the Ye-2. Both had a swept wing. The first machine to feature the delta wing was the Ye-4, which first took to the air on June 16th, 1955. It was also demonstrated a year later at the Moscow airfield Tushino. The first of the new line to enter production was the MiG-21F, which together with the MiG-21P and F-13 represented the first generation of the MiG-21, and was in production through the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties. Subsequent versions included the PF, FL, PFM, R, S, N and PD, the production of which peaked at the end of the sixties. The third generation started production in 1968, which included such versions as M, SM, MF, SMT, 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, and was put into service with some fifty nations. Over the course of the cold war, the opponents of the MiG-21 included the likes of the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter and the Dassault Mirage III. NATO assigned it the reporting name Fishbed. It became the most produced supersonic fighter in terms of quantity. The new machines came off Soviet 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. Outside of the Soviet Union, the type flew with a long list of nations on all continents with the exception of Australia. The MiG-21 participated in combat in Vietnam, the Indo-Pakistan wars, the Cuban participation in Angola and in the Arab world s attempt to eliminate Israel. Thanks to the high volume of use, the highest number of aces produced on the type was in Vietnam. The top of the ladder is occupied by Nguyen Van Coc with nine kills. The type serving as a fighter-bomber served with the Soviet Union and other nations of the Warsaw Pact into the eighties, when it began to be displaced by the MiG-29 Fulcrum. This kit is specific to the building of a model of the MiG-21PFM. In factory documentation, the export version is identified as Izdelye 94A' and the version built for Soviet armed forces as Izdelye 94'. It was powered by a Tumanskiy R-11F2-300, and armed with a twin barreled GSh-23 23mm cannon with 200 rounds housed in the underbelly pod GP-9. Hardpoints could still be loaded with RS-3US, R-3S and R-3R missiles, UB-16-57 rocket pods, S-24 unguided rockets and bombs up to 500kg in size. NATO assigned MiG-21PFM the codename Fishbed F. úvodem MiG-21 byl další konstrukcí kanceláøe Mikojan-Gurjeviè, která se zaøadila do výzbroje Sovìtského svazu, zemí Varšavské smlouvy a dalších ozbrojených sil. Jeho pøedchùdci byly tak významné typy jako MiG-15, MiG-17 èi nadzvukový MiG-19. Koøeny vývoje letounu sahají do první poloviny 50. let minulého století. V roce 1954 byl dokonèen projekt Je-1, velmi rychle nahrazený druhým prototypem Je-2. Oba mìly šípové køídlo. Prvním strojem s delta køídlem byl prototyp Je-4, který se do vzduchu dostal poprvé 16. èervna 1955. Pøedstavil se také na letecké pøehlídce, která se konala o rok pozdìji na moskevském letišti Tušino. Jako první se do sériové výroby dostala verze MiG-21F, která spoleènì s MiG-21P a MiG-21F-13 reprezentovala první generaci tohoto typu, vyrábìnou na pøelomu 50. a 60. let minulého století. Následovaly další, pokroèilejší verze PF, FL, PFM, R, S, N a PD, jejichž produkce vyvrcholila ve druhé polovinì 60. let. Od roku 1968 probíhala výroba tøetí generace, která zahrnovala napøíklad verze M, SM, MF, SMT, bis a další. Soubìžnì se stavìly také dvoumístné cvièné jednadvacítky MiG-21U, UM a US. Výroba MiGù-21 skonèila v roce 1985 a do výzbroje je zaøadilo okolo 50 zemí svìta. MiG-21 mìl bìhem studené války své protìjšky v typech Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter èi Dassault Mirage III. Vojska NATO dalo typu kódové oznaèení Fishbed. Stal se v nejvìtších poètech vyrábìným nadzvukovým letounem. Nové stroje v Sovìtském svazu sjíždìly z továrních linek v Moskvì, Gorkém a Tbilisi. V licenci se stavìla verze MiG-21F-13 v Èeskoslovensku a MiG-21FL, M a bis v Indii u Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. V Sovìtském svazu vzniklo 10 645 exempláøù všech verzí, v Èeskoslovensku 194 kusù a v Indii 657 strojù. Kromì ozbrojených sil Sovìtského svazu létal s øadì zemí, s výjimkou Austrálie na všech kontinentech. Zúèastnil se øady váleèných konfliktù, vèetnì války ve Vietnamu, indicko-pákistánských potyèek, kubánského tažení v Angole èi arabské snahy o znièení Izraele. Díky nejvìtšímu zapojení do bojových akcí se nejvìtší poèet stíhacích es zrodil ve Vietnamu. Na èele žebøíèku stojí Nguyen Van Coc s devíti sestøely. V roli pøepadového stíhacího letounu sloužily MiGy-21 v Sovìtském svazu a dalších zemích Varšavské smlouvy až do 80. let, kdy jej jako plnohodnotná náhrada zaèaly z prvoliniové služby vytlaèovat nové MiGy-29 Fulcrum. Z této stavebnice si mùžete postavit MiG-21PFM. V tovární dokumentaci tato verze figuruje pod oznaèením Izdìlje 94A pro exportní stroje a Izdìjle 94 pro letouny urèené pro sovìtské ozbrojené síly. Pohánìl jej motor Tumanskij R-11F2-300. Výzbroj tvoøil dvouhlavòový kanon GŠ-23 ráže 23 mm se zásobou 200 ran v kontejneru GP-9 pod trupem. Podvìsnou výzbroj tvoøily rakety RS-3US, R-3S, R-3R, popø. raketové bloky UB-16-57, protizemní neøízené rakety S-24 a pumy do 500 kg. V kódu NATO nesly stroje oznaèení Fishbed F. 8237 - NAV1

A Vietnamese People s Army Air Force, 921st Fighter Regiment, 1968 This aircraft was flown by 921st Fighter Regiment Sao Do (Red Star) in 1968. The first examples of MiG-21PFM were delivered to this unit during this year. Some sources say that this particular MiG was flown by Nguyen Van Coc, a fighter ace credited with 9 kills. The b&w photos of this aircraft can be interpreted in various ways. One of the theories says that green splotches were sprayed on the upper sides. The splotches were not sharp-edged and the surrounding area was also covered by the thin layer of the green color. This gave this area light-green appearance. The canopy and antenna were left in natural metal finish. Tento letoun byl používán v roce 1968 921. stíhacím plukem, nesoucím název Sao Do (Rudá hvìzda). První MiGy-21PFM dostala tato jednotka právì v roce 1968. Nìkteré prameny uvádìjí, že s letounem létal Nguyen Van Coc, eso s devíti sestøely na kontì. Èernobílé snímky umožòují rùznou interpretaci zbarvení letounu. Dle našich výzkumù stroj dostal na horní plochy kamuflážní nástøik složený ze zelených skvrn. Rozprach barvy pøi nanášení zbarvil okolí skvrn svìtle zelenì. Pøekryt kabiny a anténa na høbetì trupu zùstaly bez nátìru v barvì kovu. 5 4 H340 C340 Mc213 5 H340 C340 H?? 5 5 5 ALUMINIUM 14 STEEL Mc213 DARK IRON GREEN H340 C340 GREEN BROWN eduard

C Baurnal Higher Air Force School, Kamen na Obi / Slavgorod airbases, Soviet Union, ca 1988 Three-digit numbers were used for aircraft flown by Air Force schools in Soviet Union. The White 105 served with Barnaul Highter Air Force School in late 80ties. The exact Regiment that flew this MiG is not known. It belonged either to 59. UAP (59th Training Air Regiment) based in Kamen na Obi AFB or to 96. UAP that used Slavgorod AFB as its home. The colorful camouflage was applied during the service in the School. Note the large area of the brown camouflage color under the white fuselage number, where the former two-digit number used by the frontline unit, the previous operator, was overpainted. Tøímístná trupová èísla byla v Sovìtském svazu používána k oznaèování letounù z leteckých škol. Tento stroj sloužil na sklonku 80. let minulého století v Barnaulském vyšším vojenském leteckém uèilišti. Konkrétní uživatel není zcela znám. Patøil buï do 59. UAP (Školní letecký pluk) umístìného na letišti Slavgorod, nebo do 96. UAP, který používal letištì Kameò na Obi. Zajímavé zbarvení dostal letoun až u této jednotky. Pod trupovým èíslem na pøídi je vidìt vìtší pole barvy, které zakrylo pùvodní dvoumístné èíslo z dob služby MiGu u bojové jednotky. 17 37? 36 35 15 H C19 H304 304 H317 C317 H27 44 C370 H27 44 Mc213 18 H C19 41 H27 44 H304 304 18 18 C370 17 18 37? 36 H27 44 H317 C317 H304 304 41 H C19 15 34 Mc213 LIGHT SAND H C19 ALUMINIUM C370 16 AZURE STEEL Mc213 DARK IRON BLUE SAND C370 H27 44 BROWN 41 GREEN H304 304 GREEN H317 C317 eduard
D Egyptian Air Force, Inshas airbase, early 80 s This aircraft is one of the few MiG-21PFMs flown by Egyptian Air Force after Six-Days War. Prior to this Arab Israeli conflict the total of 235 various MiG-21s was delivered to Egypt, but about 10 only survived the war. Only the surprising Israeli aerial attack on Egyptian airbases on the very first day oif the war on June 5, 1967 (Operation Moked) cost about 90 Egyptian MiG-21s. This particular MiG was delivered to Egypt sometimes around 1970 and took part in the US Egyptian military exercise Bright Star in 1982. Tento stroj je jedním z mála MiGù-21PFM, které létaly v Egyptì po ukonèení Šestidenní války. Pøed tímto arabsko-izraelským konfliktem Egypt dostal celkem 235 MiGù-21 rùzných verzí, boje pøeèkalo však pouze okolo deseti letounù. Jen pøekvapivý útok izraelského letectva v první den války 5. èervna 1967 (operace Moked) pøinesl Egyptu ztrátu odhadovanou na 90 MiGù-21. Do Egypta se tento letoun dostal nìkdy okolo roku 1970. Vyfotografován byl pøi spoleèném egyptsko-americkém cvièení Bright Star, jež probìhlo v roce 1982. 7 H72 22 H44 51 H72 22 H44 51 7 7 H67 115 7 7 6 H44 51 H72 22 16 Mc213 H67 115 H67 H44 H72 STEEL Mc213 DARK IRON LIGHT BLUE 115 SAND DARK EARTH 51 22 GREEN ALUMINIUM eduard 17
E Polish Air Force, 1st Squadron of 62nd Fighter Regiment, Poznan Krzesiny AB, 1994 This aircraft had been delivered to Poland on April 5, 1968 and served with 34. Pulk Lotnictwa Mysliwskiego (34th Fighter Air Regiment). This profile depicts the 6910 how it looked during the service with 62. PLM. The tail marking was applied in connection with 40th anniversary of the unit establishment (1954 1994). In 1995 the unit designation was changed to 3. PLM and according to this the number 62 in the unit badge on the A/C nose was replaced with the new one. This PFM was armed with GP- 9 gun pod and Monsun rack for two R-3S missiles. The aircraft was oversprayed with thin layer of aluminium coat. Tento letoun byl do Polska dodán 5. dubna 1968 a jeho prvním pùsobištìm byl 34. Pulk Lotnictwa Myœliwskiego (stíhací letecký pluk). V této podobì jej používal 62. PLM. Výroèní zbarvení pøipomíná 40. let existence jednotky (1954 1994). V roce 1995 byl pluk pøeznaèen na 3. PLM a v souvislosti s touto zmìnou se také zmìnilo èíslo ve znaku na pøídi letounu. Letoun nosil kanonové pouzdro GP-9 a závìsníky Monsun pro zavìšení dvou raket R-3S pod každý køídelní pylon. Povrch letounu byl pøestøíkán aluminiovou barvou. 32? 31 2 25 26 27 11 1 H324 C324 1 33 33 10 1 H324 C324 1 28 26 24 8 29? 30 9 3 18 ALUMINIUM H324 C324 DARK IRON GREEN BROWN eduard
