Limited production of approximately 700 models worldwide

Only fifteen MiG-21MTs were manufactured for export but none ever left the USSR. The original MiG-21 SMT and MT both had expanded fatback fuel spines that caused instability. The SMT’s fatback spine was replaced with the MiG-21Bis spine while the production of the MT ceased and no new spine. MiG-21MT Serial 96.40.15 15 Blue was the last MT. Twelve MTs went to the 66th Fighter Bomber Air Regiment and three to Kubinka for display. Later 15 Blue was used as an instructional airframe and can be seen at Dolgoye Ledovo, Russia.

The MiG-21 is a supersonic jet fighter designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the former Soviet Union. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations over a half-century after its maiden flight in 1955. It is the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants).


Hobby Master offers a wide selection of quality, pre-assembled, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted to a high level of accuracy using specifications of the original aircraft. They are constructed with precision-made diecast metal and some plastic components.
