The Czech Air Force MiG-23MFN is a modernized variant of the Soviet MiG-23, operated from the 1990s until its retirement in 2005. Designed as a variable-geometry fighter, it featured upgraded avionics, radar, and navigation systems for improved interception and air-to-air combat. Powered by a single Tumansky R-29 engine, it could reach speeds of Mach 2.35 with a service ceiling around 57,000 ft. Armament included a 23mm GSh-23L cannon, R-23 and R-60 air-to-air missiles, and limited ground-attack ordnance. The MiG-23MFN played a key role in Czech air defense and training before being replaced by modern multirole fighters like the Saab JAS 39 Gripen.
Designed as a successor to the Soviet Union's family of early MiG jet fighters, the MiG-21 was first flown on February 14, 1955. This supersonic jet fighter was the first Soviet aircraft to successfully combine fighter and interceptor characteristics. Its delta wing design gave it the ability to climb quickly and its light loading further improved its performance, making it possible for a skilled pilot to successfully engage in dogfights with contemporary enemy fighters. Today, more than 50 years after its introduction, the MiG-21 still serves the air forces of many nations and has become the most-produced supersonic jet in history. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale MiG-21 is constructed in diecast metal with only the smallest amount of plastic used.

A G-P9 cannon pod with hand-painted 23mm twin-barrel 23mm can be seen below the cockpit. The wing is crafted of solid metal, and structural details can be seen inside the wheel wells and inboard gear doors. Each wingtip has an integrated fence and air date sensors.
