Thanks Ray,

This kit has a one piece canopy. Markings are for Soviet or Czech Air Force.

I'm going to get to building and just call it a "Mig-21". There is no cockpit detail. I'll start there and see what I can scratch build.

There are also no weapons (missiles, pylons, etc) included with this kit.

I wonder if there were 2 versions issued...

Edit: There were two versions PK-19, the one you're building and PK-41 the one I built

Oh well, I look forward to your build

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the link. Yes, I do have the PK-19 version.

Cheers,

Mike

This version is not a bis as it has the forward hinging canopy.

I think it is a bit of a mismash of marks, I think would be ok to build as a NVMPAF one. Just check your pics and move aa few bits about.

Thanks Julien,

I asked around on the Jet Forum and this kit is indeed a "frankenstein" of several Mig-21 types. That's why it was so hard to figure out.

Let's just call it a, "What If Mig-21?"  like they scrounged all the parts together to get a bird in the air. It'll be fun and good practice.

Just remember the GB is about building Matchbox kits, so it is not uber critical to correct any innaccuracies if you do not want to.

I'm with you MadMike. It'll be a fun build. Cheers!

Look for some pics and progress soon.

I believe it is a 'Bis' as it also comes with Finnish Air Force decals.... how do I know?

Finnish Bis was in latest Matchbox/Revell boxing number 40041 with new boxart and black design. I believe sprues have green color, unlike older PK-41.
