MiG-21PFM

1/72 SCALE PLASTIC KIT

ProfiPACK #70144
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 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 interceptor 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.
From this kit you can build MiG-21PFM. In the factory documentation this version is identified
as Izdelye 94A for the export aircraft and Izdelye 94 for the aircraft destined to the Soviet Air Force.
It originated from the significant modernization of the MiG-21PF type and since 1963 was
simultaneously manufactured for the Soviet Air Defense units in the Gorky plant. Since 1966 it was
manufactured for export in the Moscow plant. In the beginning of 1968, it was replaced by slightly
improved version capable of carrying GP-9 cannon container under the fuselage containing 23mm
twin barrel cannon GSh-23 with 200 rounds or a nuclear bomb. Some users distinguish both
versions as MiG-21SPS and MiG-21SPS-K respectively but mostly both versions are marked
as MiG-21PFM only. MiG-21PFM production was terminated in 1968. The aircraft powerplant was
Tumanskyi R-11F2-300. The outer ordnance consisted of RS-2US rockets or UB-16-57 rocket
launchers, anti-ground unguided rockets S-24 and bombs up to 500 kilos. The aircraft NATO code
name was Fishbed F. 70144 - NAV1

A Jagdfliegergeschwader 1, základna Holzdorf / Drewitz, Germany, 1990 – 1991
In January 1968 this aircraft was received by East German Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte und Luftverteidigung der Deutschen
Demokratischen Republik), marked red 441 and assigned to JG 8. During its service life if flew with JG 8, JG 3 and JG 1. In 1990,
after the unification of Germany, already carrying the new marking 22+02 it was overpainted with an anniversary scheme,
together with other JG 1 aircraft flown over to Drewitz airbase where it awaited its end. It was scrapped in November 1992. The
upper and side surfaces were sprayed in white color, the lower surfaces remained in light grey-blue color. The white paintwork
was supplemented by yellow and red elements, the shark mouth was added to the aircraft nose. After the paint job was completed
the aircraft was nicknamed Der weisse Hai (the white shark).
B 11th Fighter Regiment, Czechoslovak Air Force, Žatec air base,
Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, March 1991
The 7909 was delivered to Czechoslovakia on January 29th, 1969. At the beginning had been assigned to 9. slp (9. stihaci
letecky pluk – 9th Fighter Air Regiment), from April 1973 served with 1st Fighter Air Regiment. From December 1982 onwards was
flown by 11th Fighter Air Regiment. It was rejected from the active service in March 1991 and on March 20th, 1991 to flown to the
disposal site in Vodochody. The emblem of the Town of Zatec was painted on the nose, the yellow band on the tail identifies the
aircraft determined to be rejected from the service. The aircraft remained unpainted.
 921st Fighter Regiment, Vietnamese People´s Army Air Force, Noi Bai AB,
C Democratic Republic of Vietnam, 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.
D Egyptian Air Force, Inshas airbase, Arab Republic of Egypt, 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 of the war on June 5th, 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.
 11th Fighter Regiment, Czechoslovak Air Force, Žatec air base,
E Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, Spring 1990
The PFM coded 4410 can rightfully claim to be the most striking of this version to serve with the Czechoslovak Air Force. It was
delivered to Czechoslovakia in November 1966 and served with the 9th, 8th and 11th slp (Fighter Regiments). In the latter,
it received the colourful spine and vertical tail in the three main national colours. This special scheme came about with the
honorary title of 'Invasion' bestowed on the unit on May 5th, 1991, and was a reference to units that took part in the D-Day
landings. Later, the diagonal striping behind the cockpit received white, five point stars. The yellow band around the fuselage
served as an 'expiration' marking, indicating this aircraft was to be imminently scrapped, and the only flight yet to be undertaken
occurred on March 19th, 1993, to Vodochody to that end.
