Do note that you can get a reasonable accurate MiG-21-93 kit in 1/72

Note anything wrong with that statement? ;)

I like da nose but where does the air go in?


movie prop (Poland) - plenty of hot air coming out the director's mouth so you don't need more from aircraft jet-exhausts.

Maybe it was rocket propelled prototype of cheap air/space fighter ;)


It actually looks like a sleeker single seat version of the "Archangel" rocket powered Mig-21UM derivative that X-Rocket LLC studied with XCOR Aerospace as an astronaut trainer in 2002...

I wonder what wing would work best for a kit bash to make a Ye-2?

MiG-19 would likely be the closest bet, though I reckon 1/72 Su-7 wings might work for a 1/48 Ye-2.  Of course, for those who work in 1/72, Omega Models made a nice Ye-2 kit.

And you can give it the NATO designation of 'Fishstar'   ;D
(Even better would have been 'Starfish', but that's not how NATO designations work)

Just a random thought, production version of the E-7/1 - radar nose with small spine of Mig-21F.  Be a pain to model, though, as you'd need to surgically combine significant portions of a MiG-21F-13 and a MiG-21PF.

Nice!  :smiley:

My favourites are the MiG-21F-13 with the larger intake and the Mirage III with the early Fishbed tail.

Very nice!  That MiG-21F-13 with the larger intake comes very close to looking like an operational version of the Ye-7/1 and both it and the small intake variant with it are quite aesthetically appealing.
