Does anyone on the forum know if the Revell 1:48 MiG-21 PF is worth buying? Seen one going cheap.

I have this kit long time ago and it is so basic and not so precise, better to skip it.

Academy kit is better, and not so expensive

Thanks. I managed to get a KP 1:48 one, so I'll use the spare parts on the Revell one. I saw a build review and it looks quite nice once rescribed. I'll probably get the Eduard one later on :)

 :-think
KP (OEZ) is MF/BIS/SMT kit, if you are looking for one of these versions, get Eduard.
Academy has MF (actually closer to bis) and PF.
As far as I know these are all injection molded Mig-21 kits in 1/48 available on the market

Best one to use my friend is Eduard's with plenty add ons.Resin plus photo etched parts.Second choise would be Academy's,but suffers from lot of innaccurances like spine,tail wing,landing gear hubs and poor detailed cockpit.
Regarding the money managed to spend on aftermarket kits in order to bring it in life,give a try in Eduards which all the above are included.
Nice effort though,keep on.

Thanks! I got a couple of Pavla seats through the post, for the -PF and the OEZ kit. I do think I'll get the Eduard kit nearer my birthday, I've been dropping hints.

I still want to to do the Revell kit, there are only a few little errors, and I have plenty of spare weapons. Only thing I can't get is a vacform 1:48 MiG-21 PF canopy :(

That's really pitty,I could give you mine OEZ clear canopy,but is MF version,not PF.
Try a search on ebay for pavla vac canopy,thing might have seen one from UK for 3£.

Thanks, I'll take a look. The MiG-21 is such an iconic design, I have the Condor MiG-21 "9-13" as well, which I like, although the canopies are poor.
