MIG-21MF "Polish Air Force" 9111, 3 ELT, Poznan-Kresiny, Poland, 2002 (1:72 Scale)

Model History and Information: The MiG-21MF was a third-generation development of the Fishbed family, pairing the RP-22 Sapfir radar with an internal twin-barrel GSh-23L cannon, the R-13-300 turbojet and four underwing pylons for R-3 series air-to-air missiles. Poland was a substantial operator, flying the type in tactical fighter squadrons through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s before withdrawing its MiG-21 fleet from service in 2003. Krzesiny, near Poznan, was among the Polish fighter bases of that era and later became home to the F-16. Markings and events tied to this specific airframe could not be independently confirmed from primary sources, so the account reflects the variant and operator rather than the individual jet.
