EFKA / MiG-21F-13 In Czechoslovak Service Limited

Limited Edition Kit

The Mikoyan-Gurievich MIG-21 (NATO: Fishbed) is a Soviet light fighter with a duralumin semi-monocoque structure in a mid-wing design with a delta blade with an inclination of 57 degrees. The prototype flight took place on June 16, 1956. The MIG 21 prototype is considered the E-5 prototype, powered by the RD-11 engine. After its flight, several other prototypes were created, which incidentally broke various international airspeed records. The experience gained from these was used to improve the E-5, and the aircraft finally entered mass production in 1959 as the MIG-21F-13. There are over a dozen basic versions in production, and together with various sub-versions, the number of MIG 21 types can be estimated at several dozen! The most important of these is the first series-produced MIG-21F. It replaced the MIG-21PF version with the RP-21 radar and the R-11F2 engine. The next development version was the MiG-21R, a reconnaissance aircraft. Several training versions were also created, the first of which was the MiG-21U-400. The MIG-21 proved to be a highly successful design, with excellent performance, ease of control, and low production costs. The quality of its construction is demonstrated by the fact that development versions of this over 30-year-old aircraft existed in the 1990s. The aircraft was exported to all former Warsaw Pact countries and to a wide range of Arab and African countries. The MIG-21 participated in most armed conflicts between 1960 and 1980, including the Vietnam War, the Six-Day War (1967), and the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). Technical specifications: Length: 13.46 m, wingspan: 7.15 m, height: 4.1 m, maximum speed: 2130 km/h, rate of climb: 120 m/s, maximum range: 1100 km, maximum ceiling: 19,000 m, armament: fixed – single 23 mm GSz-23 cannon (M version), suspended – up to 2000 kg of cargo.
