The MiG-21 is a supersonic jet fighter and interceptor aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union.

It became renowned for this type of mission in the skies over North Vietnam.
although approximately 60 countries across four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations six decades after its maiden flight. It made aviation records, becoming the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history, the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War and, previously, the longest production run of any combat aircraft.

The MiG-21 jet fighter was a continuation of Soviet jet fighters, starting with the subsonic MiG-15 and MiG-17, and the supersonic MiG-19. A number of experimental Mach 2 Soviet designs were based on nose intakes with either swept-back wings, such as the Sukhoi Su-7, or tailed deltas, of which the MiG-21 would be the most successful.

I was originally going to post this as a group in a span of a week or so alongside F-5, MiG-23 and 2 other builds since last December but I never got around to finishing all of them (except MiG 21 now) it due to many many reasons so I apologize, but atleast this build turned out better than it had 7 months ago

I also wanted to add more details such as the moving nose cone at various speeds but I don't know how to XML and all attempts I did resulted in failure
