Eduard 70142 MiG-21MF Fighter Bomber 1/72 is a finely detailed plastic model kit of the contemporary ProfiPACK edition, depicting the Soviet MiG-21MF fighter-bomber in precise 1/72 scale. The MiG-21MF (designation “Modernizirovannyy Forsirovannyy”) is an advanced version of the legendary fighter produced in the USSR since the early 1970s. This aircraft became part of the air forces of many Eastern Bloc countries, as well as nations in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

The MiG-21MF was widely used during the Cold War and numerous regional conflicts, including the Yom Kippur War (1973), as well as operations in Vietnam and India. Thanks to its Tumansky R-13-300 engine and outstanding maneuverability, the aircraft excelled both in air superiority missions and ground attacks.
