Sorry! I have no photos of it. : ( : ( : ( Best regards Gabor

Yes it is the Lagg kit which was announced a year ago and some CAD shown. At Moson Clear Prop! had the sprues and also one complete built example. Will have a look in the photos. Best regards Gabor

Hi Michael, The bad news is that whatever I make, they are produced ONLY for my own builds. Cast few pieces. I had them with me at the Moson stand on Saturday for people to see, hold in their hand and have a closer look if they wanted. Thing is (unfortunately) the Hungarian system, and I am not speaking about politics but about structural things for a business, like taxes, different dues, paying the book keeper, compulsory state expenses . . . that anyone doing officially business and keeping to all the Hungarian laws, makes an aftermarket production a complete waste

Hi Michael, Little is known about future projects but I think the question of the early MiG-19S was raised already and as far as I know it is a possible future product. Dont ask me WHEN. On the other hand I did ask about other plans like the MiG-23MF and the Su-25 and they are in the pipeline and should be around soon. Which is good news! Best regards Gabor

Back from Moson. This is what the Clear Prop! stand was looking like at 08.00 AM before the show started. So after Moson all I can say is that the Clear Prop! MiG-19PM looks excellent! Will do some photos of the sprues and comment on some things. The plan was to visit Clear Prop! stand early in the morning to have a chance of buying the kit. The early visit paid off since by noon all the 19PM kits were gone! They had two or three large cardboard boxes of them so it was a lot of kits which had found new happy owners! Those coming later in the day or on Sunday had to make to d

Hi Mario, Hope to see you on Saturday in Moson! As indicated above, I should be at the Master stand doing some kit building/ chating to people from 14.00. This is one 100% or 99% sure thing for Saturday. All the rest will be improvisation! 😁 😊 Best regards Gabor

As indicated before a lot of work has been going on in the background. Making masters, casting silicon and producing few resin parts for myself. Here are some of the homemade or to be exact handmade and cast resin parts made for my kit with my own "3D printer", my hands. New intake ring with correct cross section and sharp lip, extra sharp trailing edge separate rudder and one of the many versions of the GS-23 gun covers. There are lots more other parts made for my kit. Best regards Gabor

Hi Robert, Will do. Ask the Tracer question. Moson is a good show. Two days, lots of time to look around, time to see the kits, lots of time for shoping. . . But most important a lot of friends from all around the world!!! There is a big delegation arriving from China and Japan!!!!!!!! And of course the special Czech delegation from GCFC club who simply love me!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) The boss is the vice president of the GCFC! : ) : ) Look forward to the MiG-19PM and to see how they managed to make the decal for our aircraft. At least there

Here is the location of Clear Prop! (with the MiG-19P & MiG-19PM kits) and of Master stand in the MKC hall for anyone interested. The KP team with all the 72nd scale early MiG-21F-13's versions should also be in this hall. So there is chance to look at the kit in real life. The MKC is the training hall, the one separate building in the back of the sport complex. Get out of the main event building UFM Arena in the back, past the catering stands in the parking lot and to the right you will find the separate MKC training hall with all the model companies. The weather for the

I will have a kind of chit-c

Me also! : ) : ) Apart from the plastic kits they will also have some of the homegrown aftermarkets, like 3D printed ejection seats, airbrakes, wheels, ORO-57K unguided missile block and paint masks. Unlike last year this time in 2025 Clear Prop! will be under his own name with a stand in the training hall MKC on stand J9. Best regareds Gabor

On the way to the Moson show. : ) : ) : ) The new 72nd scale Clear Prop! MiG-19P and MiG-19PM kits are packed and ready. Best regards Gabor

Sorry, I didn't explain in detail. Yesterday there was an event, a small Czech competition called Prostejov. This has nothing to do with the manufacturer of the KR, i.e. Kovozavody Prostejov. At this exhibition, the Czechs had their premiere of the new MiG-21bis kit from Eduard. The box contains only one new sprue K with a "new" fuselage, fuel tank on the spine, antennas, a new pylon and an R-3R missile for it and a bunch of antennas. And in the box for the MiG-21bis, all the other sprues were left from the MiG-21MF, including sprue A (79140A), which has a wing but also the "old"

As indicated at the beginning of this thread apart from the theoretical research and a bit of explanation what a MiG-21bis is in reality, there has been a bit of playing around and scratching some bits and pieces for my build. It has been going on for some time. I rather do them in advance to see how it goes and where the particular things have to end up. Here is a handful of parts for the MiG-21 builds, masters made, silicon moulds and in the end cast few of them from resin for my own use. Did some detailing of some areas of the kit like the radar unit. It was not so difficult sin

Oh yes, I can only repeat. Did I say all those years ago that the question was not so much about the diameter but about the SHAPE of the nose section? Best regards Gabor

On a Czech forum there was a comment today. Here it is just to show both sides of the coin. Best regards Gabor

Few weeks ago the Czech aftermarket company was asked several questions about the possibility of doing a 72nd scale version of the MiG-21F-13 (which will come in 48th scale somewhere this year). The reply was that they don’t plan to do it and the line of 72nd scale MiG-21 kits will be finished with the R and the SMT versions. How true this statement is open to questions. But Mr. Muzikant who is a very close and excellent friend of Sulc (they go hand in hand everywhere) announced that they (KP) will be doing a 72nd scale MiG-21F-13 in 2025. Best regards Gabor

As usual there is a lot of mocking going on in the Czech forum. : ) : ) : ) They are having fun, so let it be! : ) : ) : ) The question is if anything can be seen from looking at production tooling that can give some ideas on how the final plastic parts will look like. Some prefer to hold the plastic in hands to know what it is like. A photo of the production tool is a 100% negative version of the plastic parts which will come from it in injection molding process. The details are perfectly visible on it! In the EDM process brass anodes are used to etch the details

Just a reminder, don’t believe me what I say, look at photos of the real aircraft to make up your mind. Previously I have shown what the saddle №7 fuel tank on top of the fuselage looks like in comparison between the MiG-21MF and MiG-21bis. Ok but how big it is actually? One can get all sorts of images, period photos and good or not so good scale drawings from all sorts of publications. But this is mostly just a guessing game, approximation, comparison with other parts of the aircraft or just simply pure fiction as in so many cases. But of course the best would be

Hi Mario, You are welcome. There is lots more to show. : ) : ) Best regards Gabor

Previously I have shown what the saddle №7 fuel tank on top of the fuselage looks like in comparison between the MiG-21MF and MiG-21bis. The photos were from the stand point of an onlooker/photographer standing next to the aircraft. The difference is visible but . . . To really show the difference between the two fuel tank versions one has to get an overhead view. The MiG-21MF fuel tank has almost straight sides going backwards towards the tail. The widest point is right behind the cockpit while it tapers towards the end, but the difference is a little more than 10 centimetres.

Just a reminder, don’t believe me what I say, look at photos of the real aircraft to make up your mind. As I have written at the start of this thread it is important to precisely identify what are particular features of the given aircraft version, in this case the MiG-21bis which differentiate it from other versions. Have shown the nose shape difference and at the other end of the fuselage the R-25 engine which is in stark contrast with the jet engine of the MiG-21MF. But lets have a look what is between these two in the middle of the aircraft. One of the special feat

Of course not! As you can see from the previous "communications" from the company I have nothing to do with this kit and according to them I have never contributed anything to this or previous projects so . . . why should I have anything to do with this kit or receive it. 😄 😄 😄 I would be interested in it if I wanted to build a Hybrid MF/bis version. But I am after a TRUE MiG-21bis as such. The photo of Sprue K shows clearly that it is a perfect copy of the press tools shown before by the company. It is an answer to those who were asking for commenting only after the

So here it is, Frame K for the MiG-21bis in 72nd scale. This is the only new sprue in the new kit, the rest is everything from the previous MiG-21MF kits. Best regards Gabor
