MiG-21 MF/Bis/SMT pilot w/ ejection seat, 1/48 - Aerobonus 480.071

The accessory Aerobonus 480.071 features a pilot with an ejection seat in 1/48 scale, intended to complete a Mikoyan-Gourevitch MiG-21 fighter aircraft model from the MF, Bis or SMT versions.

This detailing reference makes it possible to recreate the cockpit with a crew member installed, for a ground-display configuration, during maintenance, or ready for departure. It provides a coherent solution for adding a human presence to a 1/48 scale MiG-21 and enhancing a diorama dedicated to Soviet aviation or to foreign users of this aircraft.

For a more lifelike cockpit

The MiG-21 is an iconic Soviet jet fighter from the Cold War era. Adding a pilot and his ejection seat helps bring depth to the cockpit area, especially when the canopy is shown open or when the aircraft is integrated into an airfield scene.

Preparing the small parts requires careful work: removing any possible molding traces, gluing with an adhesive suitable for the set’s material, then applying paint in stages. A fine primer helps bring out the details before painting the colors of the flight suit, helmet, and equipment. Light work with shadows and highlights can then further enhance the figurine and seat relief.
