1/48 J-7B
Trumpeter 1/48 J-7B Fighter is a plastic kit of the Chinese fighter derived from the MiG-21. It contains more than 160 parts, eight of them clear. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
China’s J-7 fighter originated from the licence for the Soviet MiG-21F-13. The J-7B was developed from the J-7A and, according to the manufacturer, first flew on 30 December 1978. The main change was the more powerful and more reliable WP-7B engine with longer service intervals; it also gained a new ejection seat escape system, a redesigned canopy and windscreen, a relocated brake parachute compartment and an additional fuel tank.
According to the manufacturer, the 1/48 kit has more than 160 parts on ten sprues, eight clear parts, one photo-etched part and tyres. The fuselage and wings feature finely engraved panel lines; the finished model is about 32 cm long.
The slender fuselage and delta wing look particularly good in 1/48, and the Chinese fighter is a fitting addition to any collection of MiG-21s and their derivatives. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
