Well, it looks like I'm not really missing C10 & C11 (belly tank halves). Yes, was missing them on C Sprue Tree but in actuality there's two pairs on the 2nd C Sprue Tree.

I only needed 1 belly tank per aircraft.

I am still missing 2 Clear parts Sprue Tree G and a pair of C22 sidewinders.

Progress pics...

Main wings, tail rudder, belly tanks

These are the pair of sidewinders I'm missing...

None of the U.S. AIM-9s are a close match for Finland Mig 21...

The closest I'm going to need are these...

Can't help you with the brail stuff. If it were 1/48 I have a bunch of ordinance.
Thanks,

Exhaust nozzles done!

Pilots done! Olive Drab, White, semi-gloss visors, flat black O2 mask & hose, Pollyscale Mud for belts.

Then went over with Brown Paneliner wash, let dry then Black Paneliner to bring out the shadows.

I appreciate the offer. I can only think of one person might be able to help.... DukeMaddog. I'll have to send him a PM...

Actually the AIM-9B’s are a match for the AA-2 Atoll. The Atoll was a reverse engineered exact copy of the AIM-9B. The top two in the photo of your sprue are 9Bs.

Thank you for pointing that out, Carlos! Much appreciated. Saves me money buying the aftermarket missiles from Scalehobbyist.

There is a new in box Eduard MiG-21MF in 1/72 up on eBay for .99 cents. I don’t know if that will translate here, though.
