Edu doing 72nd MiG-21UM????? or just a mistake


Recommended Posts

This evening Eduard has shown on Facebook photos and details of the upcoming Library edition MiG-21MF. The markings are for “Russian Air Superiority Grey” painted a/c 4127 with Eduard stickers from 1991. They posted several photos of details but they included one which has nothing to do with the MF. Or dose it???  Is it a hint of a future kit???

The photo is of a MiG-21UM with special badge on the nose. It is clear from the intake ring, the different DUA housing (angle of attack vane) and the curved front “Pompazh” door (surge release door) which is typical for the MiG-21U, US and UM aircraft and was never on the single seaters! (the single seaters also have the release door but it has a different outline).

The photo has nothing to do with MiG-21MF 4127. Is it a hint (of a possible UM two seater version in 72nd) or they simply don’t know what they are doing and shove in any photo they have for illustration???
