Jennings Heilig Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Here's what was posted on Zone Five... ******************** Asap...Folks...believe me what I say...get these while you can when we release them. Not planning 1/32 or 1/72...these are for the little gems that are the Eduard kit. I'm pretty sure there is something here for everybody...even those who aren't particularly hot on MiGs right now. 2 sheets...a BUNCH of MiG operators, including one from the Libyan Rebel forces!
Muzz Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Hi Jens Thanks for the heads up, are they a mix of MF and SMT? I've got a couple of MF's and quite fancy a few of these schemes! Muzz
Gekko_1 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Looks good Jennings! I will be getting me some of those! Cheers Richard.
Stu Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 My resolve not be tempted by Eduard's 21 has just crumbled in the face of these. At last - spotty Indian ht ones :-) Where do I send my right arm Stu
Jennings Heilig Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) 1. About a 50/50 mix of MiG-21MF (and equivalent Soviet variants) and MiG-21bis, with a couple of MiG-21Rs in the mix. The bis isn't out yet, but Eduard says early next year (2012). The MFs can be built out of the Eduard box. I suspect Eduard will eventually do an R (so they've said), but I suspect the aftermarket will beat them to it with the wing tip pods and the two types of belly pods. 2. No SMTs. Eduard pretty well covered SMT markings with their kit decal (not well, but covered). Since only a few hundred SMTs were built, and they only flew with the VVS, and there are so few photos of them, it wasn't worth the space (all pretty boring markings anyway). 3. Release sometime in the autumn... Of course, just about all of these *could* be used on other brands of MiG-21 kits, but why would you? J Edited July 31, 2011 by Jennings Heilig
Julien Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 My resolve not be tempted by Eduard's 21 has just crumbled in the face of these. At last - spotty Indian ht ones :-)Where do I send my right arm Stu Yes I know its bad. At least if you get these decals then you can get the "weekend" edition of the kit. Jennings with regard to the R is the old KMC set accurate? Julien
Jennings Heilig Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Jennings with regard to the R is the old KMC set accurate? Didn't even know such a thing existed.
Julien Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Didn't even know such a thing existed. KMC did it for the Acedemy kit, new spine & Fin. Came with a resin cockpit, the big belly pod and the wing tip antenna. http://www.spruebrothers.com/Nexternal/148...-set-484029.htm These bits were also in the aeromaster boxing of the OEZ MiG-21. I was looking to do a Cuban R but could find very little info on one. Julien
Jennings Heilig Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 I was looking to do a Cuban R but could find very little info on one. I've never seen a photo of a Cuban MiG-21R. I'm sure they had at least a few, but photos of Cuban MiGs are rare in any event. FYI, the MiG-21bis "610" in the Soviet tan/green export scheme was done from a series of specially declassified photos from the USAF, taken from an RC-135 probably in the late 1970s. I had photos of the entire airplane, left, right, top, and bottom that showed the entire camo scheme! I doubt anyone has ever seen that airplane outside of Cuba, and a few folks at Offutt AFB J
Jennings Heilig Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Any news about the release date? Just as soon (the very moment, in fact) they're back from the printer, which they aren't yet.
