Preorder Expected Arrival - FEB 2025

The Egyptian Air Force operated the MiG-21MF variant, a versatile fighter aircraft renowned for its agility and serviceability. Introduced in the 1970s, the MiG-21MF was part of Egypt's strategy to modernize its air defense capabilities. It featured enhanced avionics and weapons systems compared to earlier models, making it suitable for both air superiority and ground attack roles. Throughout its service, the MiG-21MF played a significant role in various regional conflicts and operations, showcasing its robustness and adaptability in diverse combat scenarios. Egypt's use of the MiG-21MF underscored its importance in maintaining air defense readiness and operational effectiveness.

Designed as a successor to the Soviet Union's family of early MiG jet fighters, the MiG-21 was first flown on February 14, 1955. This supersonic jet fighter was the first Soviet aircraft to successfully combine fighter and interceptor characteristics. Its delta wing design gave it the ability to climb quickly and its light loading further improved its performance, making it possible for a skilled pilot to successfully engage in dogfights with contemporary enemy fighters. Today, more than 50 years after its introduction, the MiG-21 still serves the air forces of many nations and has become the most-produced supersonic jet in history.

Hobby Master's 1:72 scale MiG-21 is constructed in diecast metal with only the smallest amount of plastic used. The configurable cockpit canopy provides a clear view of the interior and pilot figure and the central air brake is deployable. A G-P9 cannon pod with hand-painted 23mm twin-barrel 23mm can be seen below the cockpit. The wing is crafted of solid metal, and structural details can be seen inside the wheel wells and inboard gear doors. Each wingtip has an integrated fence and air date sensors. Ordnance includes removable fuel tanks and K-13A air-to-air missiles.
