Mikoyan Gurevich E-8/2 Scale 1:72 ART-Model 7209 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

Mikoyan-Gurevich E-8/2 experimental fighter aircraft plastic model kit in 1:72 scale represents a little-known Soviet prototype developed during the Cold War as part of the evolution of frontline jet fighters.

The E-8 program was initiated as an advanced development of the MiG-21 family, incorporating a revised airframe, lateral air intakes, and enhanced radar and weapons integration. The E-8/2 was one of the flying prototypes used to evaluate these design changes.

Mikoyan-Gurevich E-8/2 – Cold War Experimental Fighter Prototype

Test flights of the E-8/2 took place in the late 1960s. Although the aircraft demonstrated promising performance improvements over earlier designs, the project was ultimately cancelled, with further development redirected into other MiG programs. The E-8/2 remains an important experimental step in Soviet jet fighter development during the Cold War.

This plastic model kit by ART-Model accurately depicts the Mikoyan-Gurevich E-8/2 prototype. The model belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is produced in 1:72 scale, making it suitable for collections focused on experimental and prototype jet aircraft.
