This Matchbox MiG-21 I finished around a year or 2ish ago, I wasn't happy how it finished at all as the canopy apparently corroded under masking tape, the landing gear is so flimsy it bends under weight and the jet exhaust is a blank space with a huge seemline.

I bought an Eduard MiG-21MFN a few days ago and other than the landing gear it comes with all parts needed to upgrade this little bullet MiG.
So the plan of attack is to replace the whole canopy, add a spare engine fan blade to the empty looking exhaust, add multiple decals to turn her into a low vis Tiger Meet scheme(Eduard 7452's second decal option), repaint or replace the drop tank, add under wing pylons and weapons and hopefully if I can find a set replace the landing gear.
