The Mig-21 needs no introduction, so I’ll do away with the description. There are a great many of these already around on SP; this one gets Iraqi air force markings for a change.

Straight on to the controls, then…

• AG1 Toggle exhaust smoke effect
• AG2 Lights
• AG3 Toggle nose wheel lock
• AG4 Afterburner
• AG5 Brake chute
• AG6 Drop external fuel tank
• AG7 Drop rocket pods

Enjoy!!

    @MrACEpilot Why not Iraqi..? It could have been almost anything else -it's hard to find a country that didn't have 21's at some point. But why would I want to blast some poor Polish or Czech pilot's Mig in a dogfight..? :D :D

    @EngineerOtaku bah... I gave up on "camouflage schemes" long ago. It's one of SP's limitations; any attempt to camouflage patterns invariably f*s up the build. Whatever you do, it's always going to look bad and give the plane that "lego-quality" feel. No blotches, stripes, spots etc for me -at least until SP's developers discover textures. Good idea about the different models though -I may do some tweaking when I get the time...

    I have to agree with you that there's plenty of MiG-21 builds on SP; I just put out my own Ace Combat-inspired MiG lol
    .
    Nice to see a different livery for the ol' Balalaika than the usual Soviet/Russian stuff. I definitely would love to see someone put out an East German MiG-21 because those camouflage schemes look amazing. Personally I also would like to see different models of Fishbed (the F, F-13 for example don't get nearly as much love as say the MF or the bis)

    @DaDerpachu123 you already have some pretty decent Mig's, it seems -don't think you need too many tips. Mine has more small details, but mich higher part count... that's always a trade-off.

    Surprisingly I am currently working on a MiG-21bis. Nice aircraft! While I am creating a MiG-21, I don't think it is going to look as good as yours ;)
