MIG-21MF "Slovak Air Force" 7713 4th Flight Sliac Airbase 1999 in 1:72 scale
This is the MIG-21MF "Slovak Air Force" 7713 4th Flight Sliac Airbase 1999 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The MiG‑21MF “7713” of the Slovak Air Force’s 4th Flight, based at Sliac Air Base around 1999, distinguished itself with an unconventional black-and-white “cow” camouflage—nicknamed “Milka”—a rare, non-standard scheme applied by its ground crew during post-overhaul redecoration. As one of the last operational MiG‑21MFs in Slovak service, it combined the robust Soviet-era delta-wing design and RP-21MA radar with remarkable aesthetic flair, encapsulating both Cold War engineering and local ingenuity. Its vivid appearance and continued frontline role well into the late 1990s set it apart from more uniformly painted adversaries, making it an iconic ambassador of late-era Soviet fighter design in Central Europe.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship.
