Modelsvit 72004 Plastic model aircraft kit Scale 1:72 MiG-21I-2 Analog A-144-2

The MiG-21I-2 Analog A-144-2 was an experimental Soviet aircraft developed to study aerodynamic characteristics of tailless delta-wing configurations during the Cold War. This plastic model kit in 1/72 scale by ModelSvit represents the second prototype of the MiG-21I, created as a flying testbed for research related to supersonic passenger aircraft development.

Based on the MiG-21S airframe, the MiG-21I (also known as A-144) was modified to replicate the wing geometry of the Tu-144 supersonic airliner. The aircraft was used to evaluate takeoff and landing behavior, as well as handling characteristics of a tailless delta-wing configuration. These experimental flights contributed to the broader development of high-speed civil aviation concepts.

MiG-21I-2 Analog A-144-2 - Soviet Experimental Research Aircraft

The second prototype, designated A-144-2, featured refinements to the original test platform. Its role was not combat-related but focused on aerodynamic testing and data collection. Aircraft of this type played a supporting role in the development of supersonic transport programs.

For modelers: The modified wing geometry and unique silhouette of the MiG-21I require careful alignment during assembly. Preparing the wing and fuselage joints before painting helps maintain smooth transitions across the modified surfaces.
