Historical background and application

The MiG-21UM (NATO reporting name: "Fishbed") is the two-seat version of the legendary Soviet MiG-21 fighter, developed as a training and combat aircraft. Aircraft of this type were widely used by the USSR, Warsaw Pact countries, and export clients worldwide during the Cold War period, from the 1970s up to modern times. The MiG-21UM participated in pilot training as well as numerous local conflicts, proving to be a solid and reliable design.

Product features

The Quickboost QB48669 set includes accurately reproduced resin air intakes, which replace the simplified kit parts provided by Trumpeter in the base model. The resin detailing guarantees perfectly rendered panel lines and details impossible to achieve with standard plastic parts. The whole set is ready for assembly after minimal preparation and fits the specific model perfectly, allowing the modeller to focus on flawless execution rather than time-consuming modifications.

Thanks to the ease of assembly (difficulty level 2/5), the set is also an excellent choice for those making their first steps with advanced detailing techniques.
