Academy 12320 - 1/48 Russian Air Force MiG-21PF Fishbed-D Model Kit - Classic Cold War Scale Build  [AC-12320]

Close-up Look at the Academy MiG-21PF Fishbed-D 1/48 Kit

The MiG-21PF Fishbed-D earned its place in Cold War aviation thanks to a compact, speedy design and distinctive delta planform. This Academy 1/48 kit recreates that silhouette with crisp surface detail and realistic proportions, giving model builders a satisfying assembly that reflects the original jet's character.

Why This Variant Attracts Scale Modellers

Released in the late 1950s, the MiG-21PF combined simplicity with performance, and this model captures those key traits. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy a hands-on build that highlights rivet lines, control surfaces and cockpit fittings typical of period military aircraft.

Assembly Notes and Finished Presentation

Parts are moulded to represent structural elements of the prototype, so careful trimming and test-fitting will pay off. When finished, the completed model makes a compact, historically accurate display that slots well into collections of Cold War fighters.
