MiG-21MF Soviet Air Force & Export 1/48 Academy

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Fishbed is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union.  Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history as well as the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft.
