Flankerman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Great pics, Red Star, thanks for posting them. I wonder what that interesting bulge is under the engine trunking behind the starboard wheel in the 4th photo ?? BTW, it doesn't look as though this particular machine is fitted with OVT (TVC) nozzles - it is missing the characteristic bulges around the nozzles.... That's not to say that they won't be fitted later................ Ken Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Great pics, Red Star, thanks for posting them.I wonder what that interesting bulge is under the engine trunking behind the starboard wheel in the 4th photo ?? Interesting, seems there's one also under the port engine (1st photo): it seems a little smaller, but it's hard to tell from the distance. Maybe ventral strakes? Chaff/flare lauchers? Great pics anyway Addon: Or some kind of Lantirn/targeting pods? Edited January 10, 2007 by Yuri Link to post Share on other sites
Will2K65 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Theres a large multi-page insert about the MiG-29 in its many forms in the January 2007 version of Air Forces monthly, which covers the MiG-35, if you're interested! The MiG-35 features an AESA radar, 50% greater range than existing MiG-29 variants, and is compatible with all the latest Russian AA and AG weapons. Of note is that whilst both twin and single seat variants are proposed, both versions feature the 'double length' canopy such as that shown in the photos. The interior of the jet will be re-arranged depending on single or twin seat configuration - for the single seat variant a fuel tank and extra avionics bay fills the space and its 'faired over', but the canopy itself that covers the cockpit will remain the same.

svaz Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 348 days 'til Xmas - Trumpeter are you listening? Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Definetely a new kit needed! My god there's only one variant available in 1/72 (and in 1/48?) of this widely-spread important fighter plane! Okay, some eastern manufacturer has a 9-13, but that isn't worth building, at least so I've heard. I do also hope Trump's gonna save us. May the Hase issue again a twentieth something version of a Tomcat or Bug with new different decals... They'll never give us anything new - and Russian. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Ok so I'm a bit confused on MiG terminology....is the MiG 35 the same as the MiG 29M (aka Trumpeter 32nd kit)? I remember reading that the MiG 35 was supposed to have been the export version of the MiG 29M, but that was about 5 years ago Gawd I miss the good old days of NATO naming...Fulcrum A...Fulcrum B....Fulcrum C..... It seemed so easy back then! Matt Looks like I'll have to keep an eye out for AFM this month or next here in the States Edited January 10, 2007 by Matt Roberts Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Looks like I'll have to keep an eye out for AFM this month or next here in the States No, it's not the same. 29M is 9-15 in the manufacturer's terminology (like the basic Fulcrum was 9-12). I don't recal the factory number of MiG-35 at the moment... Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 So the 9-13 is the Fulcrum C? Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) these are the 29Ks for india i believe Edited January 10, 2007 by Raymond Link to post Share on other sites
OKB Krasnaya Zvezda Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yep after a couple of min. (ok hours) I realized that one of the pics shows a MiG-29 WITH the base fro a hook :D nad I agree with you, I think those are for India too. seems like India it´s the place to be to take some pics in 10 or so months. here are the pics: Link to post Share on other sites

Vesper Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If I understand correctly, the -35 is based of the -29M with the Thrust vectoring engines of the OVT and other goodies besides the new cockpit layout? Any commonalty w/t MiG-29Ks and the earlier Fulcrums? Ves Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 nope not really, most modern 29ks are similar to Ms ...but luckily trumps doing the 29K in 1/32 ..and the M, which one coudl make a mig-35 out of :D Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, some eastern manufacturer has a 9-13, but that isn't worth building, at least so I've heard. Yes, it's the Condor kit, but it's definitely easier to build a bigger spine (plus some other smaller changes) on the Italeri Fulcrum than to make a good model starting from that kit. For 1/48 there's a resin conversion from Neomega (once it was available also for 1/72 but it's long OOP) but can't comment it as I'm a strictly 1/72 geek... :D About MiG-29M and K, the K is based on the M airframe, but with bigger (and folding) wings and bulged wingtips.
