DutyCat Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Are these the same mold? Decal quality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I am not sure if they are same kit.... Does someone have sprue shots of revell Mig 1.44? :blink: And I have heard that revell box is small,but is the modell right in lenght and span? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Have to admit I didn't even know Revell was coming out with one...is it already out, or just "announced"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It is for sale... :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yes, the Revell kit is out. The Zvezda kit has a good rep. I was just wondering if the Revell kit is a Rebox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dreammh Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 The Revell 1/144 MiG-1.44 has been out for years. Its not a new item. I have one sitting on my bench for years. The fit and decals are good. Overall shape captures the shape very well. Typical of Revell mini's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dreammh Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeah, but we're talking 1/72, right? Oh...er....oops. <_< Okay, this isn't very new either. I have seen this kit for a few months. Been wanting to get one but still hesitating. I read a few builds that the fit and shape are quite good. Decals should be acceptable. Revell's new decals are all good.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Don't sweat it; if it makes you feel any better, I screwed up the scale of a topic last week myself, even though it was blatantly stated. Nice to be reminded that we're human! <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I am 99.9% sure they are the same kit. I don't have one of the Revell 1/72 kits (as I already have a Zvezda one), but I glanced at the box and it said "Made in Russia" on the side. So logic says it is a reboxed Zvezda kit. Decal quality should be better, but Zvezda decal quality has been getting better with their later releases and the decals in mine look useable compared to the S-37 Berkut markings (in that case, the Revell S-37 is the best one too get since it has complete Berkut markings). A NeOmega cockpit is a nice aftermarket extra to get for it BTW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 As you can check from my pics,the Revell kit is exactly the same as Zvezda. Just like the re-boxed MiG-31 and Su-24 recently. With new-drawn instruction sheet and nice quality decal(Remember that it's said the colour in Revell decal is more accurate than the one in Zvezda). Hope this will help.

DutyCat Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Zvezda box art is better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Oh, and while we are at it, is the Italeri Berkut the same kit as the Zvezda/Revell? I did not see a Revell Bekut listed on the squadron.com website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did not see a Revell Bekut listed on the squadron.com website. Yes, all three Berkut kits (Zvezda, Italeri, Revell of Germany) in 1/72 are the same plastic. The Revell of Germany version is the best one to get since it has the most accurate decal sheet with all the markings seen on the S-37 during its airshow displays. The original Zvezda sheet is lacking in spots and the Italeri kit sheet is just a reprint of the Zvezda sheet on more useable decal stock and with a little better coloring (but still incomplete markings).

kotey Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Actually Zvezda Su-47 (S-37) model more, than 2 year had full version decals with all mirking elements. Probably you have old version of decals in you box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
