Last summer Eduard released its much anticipated MiG-21MF kit in 1/72 scale. The initial release (the “Interceptor” version) represented aircraft manufactured at the Gorky factory. The second release was for MF’s manufactured earlier at other factories (the “Fighter Bomber” version). As with the Interceptor kit, in conjunction with the release of Fighter Bomber kit, Eduard also released a separate resin cockpit set for the earlier model MiG-21MFs.

The set includes nine resin parts, a color photo-etch fret and an acetate sheet with 2 heads-up screens and is intended as a complete replacement for the kit cockpit and ejection seat. As you would expect with Eduard, the resin parts are beautifully cast with exquisite detail and the detail on the photo-etch set is crisp and sharp.

This tome is the latest in the Yellow series of aircraft monographs. Originally in a smaller format, ~6.3” by 9.3”, the Yellow series seems to have migrated to the “Big Yellow” series in a new larger A4 (~8.25” x 11.625”) size. Lately, it seems that the “Big Yellow” series has become just the Yellow series, but has retained the larger A4 format.

This is an upgrade set for Zoukei Mura Phantoms. With the kit, the stabilators can only be mounted in one position (neutral). With this set, you can set the stabilators in any one of three possible positions of your choice and improve the detail on the stabilator pivot cover plates as well. Also included are the reinforcement "fish" plates found on Air Force Phantom stabilators (not found in the ZM kits). Photos show how a "pitch up" and "pich down" position looks like before the PE cover plates are installed. Note this set does not make the stabilators movable, after all we modelers don't build "toys".. After the position is selected, everything has to be glued in place.
