Raymond Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Hiya, check out this page: http://racc.com.sapo.pt/ Personaly id say a PAF F-7 (the f-7 opens up more exotic countries to model) !!! but there are some nice schemes there regards Raymond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 The F-7 kit is a better kit to make a PAF F-7 from. The two versions differed in the MiG missing one of the fuselage guns and the F-7 having a rear hinged two part (separate windscreen and canopy) canopy. Although the Trumpeter F-13 and F-7 kits do share a lot of parts, each has only the correct canopy and gun fairing parts for the respective version. If you have the MiG-21F-13 kit, it is best used for a MiG-21F-13. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have the MiG-21F-13 kit, it is best used for a MiG-21F-13. I was just about to say the same thing :( However a Mig-21 F-13 can be used to make an F-7A as used by China, Albanian and Tanzania. The F-7A appears to be virtually identical to the F-13. However it is often reported that it features two cannons as with later models, whilst this 'may' be the case for some F-7As it is clearly not the case for all, certainly not the Albanian examples. Oh and yes my Revell Mig-21 F-13 will become an Albanian AF f-7A for the GB However if you want to do a Mig-21 F-13 with a difference you should consider the Israeli example "007" which defected from Iraq. You would infact have a few schemes to choose in that it wore its NMF but with red stripes/sections in atleast two different variations aswell as a desert camo scheme. Decals would certainly not be too hard though I know for a fact that the latter scheme had Hebrew warning markings for the canopy, which would present a problem. The Israeli Mig was discussed in a previous thread in this GB section if your interested. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Rock Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I vote for Yugoslav markings! I vote for Yugo markings too,but there is none in 1/32.What a shame,it was the first country to equip MiG-21 after CCCP(USSR). MiG with stars and bars just ain't my thing...

mmaker Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) I think US Mig,bought from Israel for testings. What about that? Some overall silver also http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_289.shtml#top Edited August 12, 2005 by mmaker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mmaker Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Or that. Here's Israel Mig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrake Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Or that.Here's Israel Mig The Second attachment is not as you suggest an Israeli Mig-21. Firstly the profile clearly states and shows that it is an IRIAF Aircraft. Secondly it is an F-7 variants which as discussed is not a Mig-21 F-13. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
