I'm definately no expert, but the site in which you got those pics showed several different models. One difference I see (assuming that you downloaded the Mig-21 Mongul from Biohaz, is that it doesn't appear to be a 2 seater.

[Guest JEAGER332]

yes all Mig 21 types

Indeed, the plane is nowhere near a Mongol, since this name only applies to dual seater versions, which is definitely not what you or I did download

The MiG-21 is probably the most recognizable Soviet fighter, with its nose intake and delta wing. This fighter was quite a performer and the need for a two-seat trainer quickly became apparent. Given the NATO code-name of "Mongol", the two-seat MiG-21 came in three distinct flavors. The MiG-21U was developed from the early MiG-21s, with the narrow intake and small fin found on the MiG-21P/PF family. As the MiG-21 continued evolving, so did the two-seater. The MiG-21US had the broader fin found on the MiG-21PFM as well as the wing from the MiG-21SPS which featured "blown" flaps replacing the Fowler style on the earlier MiG-21s. The final two-seater MiG-21 variant was the MiG-21UM which built off of the MiG-21US version with improved avionics and instruments from the MiG-21M/MF series. The ejection seats were also updated to the newer KM-1 seat. Finally, the MiG-21UM could carry four hardpoints under the wing. The two-seat MiG-21 quickly found its way into service in a great number of countries, including East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Poland, Romania, and many more.

I'm no expert, but the download looks to be a Fishbed-L to me.
