Features and benefits

The MiG-21MF Fishbed was one of the world's most-produced fighters, used in, among others, the Arab-Israeli wars, the Vietnam wars, and the India-Pakistan conflicts. The armament in the form of the GŠ-23 gun pod allowed for firing from the twin-barrel 23 mm cannon in versions that did not have internally mounted fuselage armament. Thanks to the use of resin, Quickboost QB49096 enables a much higher level of detail than standard plastic model parts. The late gun pod design corresponds to the configuration used by the Soviet, Polish, and other Warsaw Pact air forces during the 1970s and 1980s.
