Okay okay this is my last MiG-21 build for a while now.
The MiG-21Y is my own fictional version of the MiG-21 and I used the Analog and E8 versions as inspiration.
The MiG-21Y was initially designed in the late 60s and early 70s as a way to upgrade the performance of the MiG-21. It was decided that the MiG-23 would be more suitable for the Soviet Union’s new fighter but a limited number of MiG-21Ys were produced to have a higher performance fighter until the MiG-23 was ready. This aircraft was produced until 1976, and used until the 1990s, mostly by former members of the USSR. The last of the 21Ys retired in 1999 from the Polish Air Force.
AG1 is for the drag chute
AG7 for afterburner
AG8 to activate missiles
VTOL operates the rear elevators/flaps. On an aircraft with such a layout, these are sometimes used during takeoff and landing and form a similar function to flaps. However, they can also help with making tighter manoeuvres as well.

@RaendyLeBeau thanks a lot man! I appreciate it
very nice!!!
@CookieCrumz I’m glad you think so since it’s a fictional build but I tried to make it look like something plausible
@CookieCrumz Check this one out!
@Mustang51 it's nice to see you've improved!
@EACC lol I started uploading way before I should have hahaha. My first posts were awful
@Mustang51 i joined a few months ago but i was playing SP way back 2018, i haven't got the nerve to upload my airplanes by then since those were ugly asf. When my builds got better, that's when i decided to upload them
@EACC that means a lot man! I think your work is really good too, especially considering you only joined a few months ago
@Mustang51 welcome dude, you've earned a fan here
I gotta say that was a good one hahaha. Thanks very much! @EACC
@Mustang51 hahaha but srsly this aircraft is sick! Hammer and SICKle!
@EACC hahaha thank you very much my friend! I’m glad you (and Lenin) like it
The USSR commends your build! Lenin would be proud.
@Omel Kind of like how I put here but not as much @Omel
@Windworn thanks bud! It’s always good to have some detail but not to overdo it
whoa all your works have amazing details, i think this is a good reference for my future builds in detailing.
@PAPAPIE thank you my friend! I was really trying to keep the parts down as much as possible
The amount of detail thet you managed to put in with just 287 parts is amazing.
@Lambojuli great! Can’t wait to see it!
@Mustang51 thanks, I will use that in the Block 20 of my F-21A!
@Lambojuli thanks for the upvote! The way you can do that is by reducing the velocity of the bullets being fired from the gun. What I didn’t do when I posted this but I would do now is make sure the case dropper fires bullets at the same rate as the cannons. You can just take this one if you’d like :)
How did you do that casing dropping guns?
@Mustang51 imma try it out then and it looks amazing!
@Toastytoast This is my personal favourite from my builds
This one is also mobile friendly @Frenchman
