Trumpeter 02858 - 1/48 MiG-21 F-13 Fishbed Classic Model  [TP02858]

Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-21 F-13 Fishbed by Trumpeter 02858

The Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-21 F-13 Fishbed provides a compact but detailed modelling project that reflects the signature lines of the Soviet interceptor. Collectors and display modellers will recognise the aircrafts characteristic nose and delta planform, and the kit is arranged to recreate those features cleanly. The assembly process is engaging for those who enjoy traditional plastic modelling.

Why Modellers Choose the MiG-21

Because it first entered service in the late 1950s, the MiG-21 carries a strong historical presence and remains an attractive subject for scale modelling. Its simple yet effective design makes it ideal for both solo builds and period dioramas, while the kit supplies parts that emphasise the aircrafts silhouette.

Building Experience

The 1/48 scale demands attention to detail but rewards careful work with a compact, display-ready model. Parts are injection-moulded and require tidy trimming and adhesive work; the kit is most satisfying for those with previous assembly experience.
