I see that Hannants now have this in stock. Anyone seen one yet? Is it a
new tool or is it a re-pop of the old Hasegawa or even Frog kits?

Which scale? I think they made ones from 1/144 up to 1/32.

That's a shame. The moulds for that must be nearly 40 years old. I have to
wonder at the pricing for the kit. It costs a tenner. If it was priced at a
fiver I might be willing to buy one simply to graft the belly tank and wing
leading edges on to the forthcomng MPM kit but I'm not willing to pay a
tenner for spare parts.

My apologies. I should have made that clear. I meant 1/72.

The word "Frog" was a clue. Originally made by Rovex!

I had the Frog (Penguin) MiG 21 when it was new and the mould looked like it
was completely shot back then! It was a shame as Frog made some important
types not covered by Airfix at the time.
