About the aircraft – MiG-21F-13:

The MiG-21 is a Soviet supersonic fighter with a characteristic delta wing, one of the most numerously produced jets in history. The MiG-21F-13 version was one of the early variants of the family – in addition to an onboard cannon it received infrared-guided air-to-air missiles, which significantly increased its combat capability.

The light, simple and fast design became the basis for the further development of the MiG-21 family and gained enormous popularity in the air forces of many countries. Early variants such as the F-13 are prized by modellers for their clean, slender silhouette.
