Trumpeter 02858 - 1/48 MiG-21 F-13 Fishbed Collector Edition  [TP02858]

Overview of the Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-21 F-13 Fishbed (02858)

The Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-21 F-13 Fishbed kit presents a detailed, small-scale project that captures the essential form of the famous interceptor. Its slim nose and rear fuselage are represented to provide a convincing miniature of the original aircraft, and the parts layout encourages precise assembly and finishing work.

Heritage and Modelling Interest

Since its introduction in the late 1950s, the MiG-21 has been a fixture in many air arms and remains a popular subject for scale modellers. The straightforward yet striking silhouette is a draw for those building Cold War era collections, and this Trumpeter kit provides the elements needed to recreate that look.

Building Experience

This 1/48 scale kit is suited to hobbyists who enjoy working with detailed injection-moulded parts. Careful trimming, test-fitting and adhesive use are required, making the build better suited to someone with modest to advanced modelling skills. The completed model displays well on its own or as part of a themed grouping.
