From Wikipedia: MiG-21RF (Izdeliye 94RA; NATO "Fishbed-H") Egyptian designation for MiG-21R aircraft which had been locally modified by permanently mounting the cameras in a fairing under the nose. 16 or 18 planes were modified, the R11F2-300 turbojet, the pitot was moved to the right and no AoA vanes were present. Look at the side air sensor, inherited from the PFM series All R models were configured in this way BUT and yes, a big BUT Quoting Wikipedia again: MiG-21RF (Izdeliye 96R; NATO "Fishbed-H") Not to be confused with the Egyptian local designation "MiG-21RF." This designation was used after some MiG-21Rs were upgraded with R13-300 engines as in the MiG-21MF. So, this is a yes and a no on all previous statements and we will be more confused Now I will have another version to be made hahahahahahahahahaahhaha

I remember the RF was an specific version of the recon bird with the cameras mounted under and part of the fuselage, while the variants using the recon pods were called R, domestic or export Now, talking about the recon pods, does anyone have details of them, the D/N/R? like the stencils and panelings?

Safety goes first... Thanks i needed those angles as i have the ones from the 4+ magazine. Now, correct me if i am wrong, the trainers, the main variants are: -MiG-21U-400, with F-13/PF wings, tail, SK seat, and chute (under the fuselage), no periscope. -MiG-21U-600, with blown flaps and PFM tail with the chute at the VTail base, no periscope. -MiG-21US, with KM-1 seat, periscope in the instructor seat. -MiG-21UM, with the 3rd generation avionics, a distinctive antenna on the aft spine. All trainers had the bigger wheels and the bigger fuselage bulge. Hope i got it straight, if not, all corrections are welcome.

I will add it with bump maps to save some polys, i need to use some for the cannon structure and the airbrake well, but it's on the main idea definitely. -

As I am doing this with no specific order... MiG-21F and F-13 Cannon will be added later New gear doors Small diameter wheels and wheel bays And yes, I am working on the other versions too, completing the skins... -
Noted! Thanks! Now, on the SPS's I understand some were wire to shoot R-60s as this one... (May need the gun blast panels, to be added later) (yes, I need to remove the rearview mirror) Now, the regular SPS's Also, for the PF, I also read they were capable of using the Monsun dual Atoll rails, were they not? Keep in mind, that all is a huge ongoing WIP Any advice you can give me will be beneficial to this project... Thanks again!

Thank you for that input, Gepard, good stuff coming from someone who was there! With the permission of the admins for the pics, they can be removed later, I got the M bort records from http://www.forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/ and based on it, I saw some pictures showing the gun blast panels and rearview mirror base (hmm, odd), perhaps they were retrofitted after some overhauls? What I can do, of course, is to make early/late versions to cover those plane timelines maybe?
