About product

MiG-21UM 1:48, an injection-molded Trumpeter kit

A plastic kit of the two-seat MiG-21UM jet trainer fighter in 1:48 scale from Trumpeter. It is an injection-molded model in gray plastic with finely engraved panel lines, a detailed tandem cockpit and clear parts for both canopies. The model captures the trainer version of one of the most widely used supersonic fighters in the world.

The real subject

The MiG-21 was among the most numerously built supersonic fighters and served in dozens of countries. The UM trainer version had two seats one behind the other and a second canopy for the instructor; it remained combat capable and was used for converting pilots onto the type. It was notable for a slim fuselage with a circular nose air intake and a delta wing, and it was among the types that spread across the whole world and served for many decades in a number of countries.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the tandem cockpit before the fuselage is closed; it tends to be advisable to add weight in the nose because of the nosewheel landing gear. Glue the parts with a thin plastic cement and sand the joints. Metallic and camouflage finishes are best managed with an airbrush; washes will pick out the panels and a matte clear coat will even the surface out.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of Cold War jet aircraft of Eastern design.
  • For modelers who are fond of two-seat trainer versions.
  • For fans of MiG-21 aircraft.
