HOBBYMASTER AIR POWER SERIES (JET POWERED) 1/72 SCALE MODEL NO. HA0103 __________________________ MIG-21 MF "FISHBED" "BIG FISH" 3rd TACTICAL SQUADRON POLISH AIR FORCE __________________________ Originally built by the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union with a NATO nickname “Fishbed”. No other jet has had as many planes produced as the Mig-21. Depending on the reference source 8,000 – 13,000 planes of all versions were made in the Soviet Union, under license to allied countries and China without license. At the time of it’s introduction into the Soviet Air Force service in 1959, it was exactly what they wanted. A small, fast, agile, dependable and most importantly simple making it easy to turn out great numbers of the plane. The skies of Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Central America seemed to be filled with thousands of the Mig-21. Because of it’s relatively low cost since it was heavily subsidized by the Soviets, it became the plane of choice for many third world countries.Taking this into account this plane has seen more wars then any other modern day jet.The Mig-21 was used in front line service for over 30 years equaling that of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.There were 5 generations of the plane in many versions and each generation brought with it great improvements over it’s predecessors. read more
