ya-gabor Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) 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???

mingwin Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 i think Eduard have just use that photo because it shows the squadron crest... don't you forget about the MiG-21bis nose being the same as other variants for eduard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I just hope they will be doing SMT in 72 too... I sold my 1/48 betting on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
