MiG-21PF Walkaround
The MiG-21 Photo-Walkaround is courtesy of "The SMH / IPMS Scale Model Forum" in Houston.
These are excellent pictures by Roy McCartey to get an overview about the exterior details.
It shows the EAA's MiG-21PF. By the way, it's the same airplane that Ed Schneider used in his flight evaluation (see "Warbirds").
Note: The optical gun sight was replaced by American VHF radios.
