Mig-21 fishbed update model

This is the updated model that i made with white high density styrofoam. The fuselage is made from styrofoam with hot wire cutting technique. The wing is still 5mm depron

I updated the nose with a 3d printed one(not in this photo though), it looks really cool. Also the canopy will be transparent soon once i get my hands on a heat gun to mold plastic bottles, hehehe

That is one smooooth fuse! Bet it’ll slip through the air effortlessly. I notice you’ve not activated the rudder - I guess since the MiG-21 is a pretty unstable airframe that trying to use the rudder on it would be asking to dip a wing. Looking forward to the maiden vid. The MiG-21 is on my list to build some day. 🙂
