The Eduard CX511 MiG-21MF product is a high-quality set of precisely cut painting masks designed for the MiG-21MF fighter aircraft plastic model in 1/72 scale. The set was created by the renowned manufacturer Eduard, a leader in model accessories. Thanks to this product, modellers can achieve a perfect finish on the cockpit, canopy, and wheels without the risk of paint seeping under the tape – an essential detail in achieving realism in the final effect.

Purpose and Application

Eduard CX511 masks are specifically dedicated to the MiG-21MF model, whose original is a Soviet supersonic fighter used by the USSR and the armies of Warsaw Pact countries, including Poland and East Germany. The MiG-21MF was widely operated during the Cold War from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. It was the main fighter force for many Eastern Bloc countries, taking part in numerous regional conflicts in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

The mask set is made from high-quality self-adhesive modeling foil—Yellow Kabuki Tape. This material adheres perfectly to the model's surface, leaves no glue residue after removal, and allows for very precise masking of even irregular elements without losing detail.
