catcow1234 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm about to start an ICS Mig 29 (9-13) with lots of after market goodies. The plan is to make one of the ill fated Mig's of the Gromov flight research institute that crashed at Fairford in '93. I remember seeing them crash and I always wanted to add one to my collection but just never did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

giles Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Chinese Old Lady Am I the only one who thinks this particular bird looks sexy?? Close Up Pores, Warts et al. Does anyone know what the two open doors near the intake lip are? They look kind of like airflow bypass outlets?? I have never seen them on other MiG-19s or J-6s. Also notice the shape of the radar housing within the inlet. Besides the different radar housing, the intake geometry (the profile of splitter plate) also looks different from other radar equipped P's and PM's. I wonder whether this is a short run experimental a/c (like the many China developed from the Russian template while playing catch up in the late 70's and much of 80's). Any MiG-19 experts around??

davetur Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I will try to complete an Eastern Express MiG-29 SMT in 1/72: still deciding whether to buid it OOB as the prototype #917 or modifying it to represent the ex Algerian now serving in the Russian Air Force. By the way, anybody knows a sort of match for the latter's three grays? Dont' worry, I will miss the deadline anyway, as I did for the Red Star Group Build!

Giles Crimony...you aren't kidding about that being a different aircraft, with the radar and suction doors. Never seen anything quite like it. Also, looks like it lacks the tail-mounted drag chute fairing that usually helps to identify a Chinese Farmer; maybe it's a very, very early development? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, looks like it lacks the tail-mounted drag chute fairing that usually helps to identify a Chinese Farmer; maybe it's a very, very early development? You are right Andrew! It does seem to be an early development according to Deino's history write up. The radar set is probabaly range only, since this is a day fighter IIRC. The intake and slimmer profile of splitter plate and the "suction doors" or "bypass" seem to suggests a larger airflow requirement than the Soviet MiG-19. Possibly more powerful (or primative?) jet engine. It lacks the tail-mounted drag chute fairing (I think it predates that characteristic feature), so it is most probabaly an early pre-production/pre-volume production Chinese Farmer. I am just puzzled by the intake and the "doors" because these features suggest an "improvement" over the Soviet baseline. The subsequent production J-6s however seemed more in line with the Soviet originals... Giles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Moss Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 This Group build came along at just the right time! I have just wrapped up some models for the show aircraft build and was wondering what my next project might be when I saw this. I would like to join with 2 Academy 1/48 Mig-29's, one in the New Strizhi markings and the second in "Farewell USA" markings. I have the Linden Hill decals for the Swifts and the Cutting Edge ones for the other. Other aftermarket planned: Quickboost noses and pitot tubes, Aires cockpit for the one model and Eduard p/e for the other. Below are some pictures of the items except for the Eduard which is still on it's way. By the way there is a sort of negative connection to my previous build which included two F-86's in Italian "Frecce Tricolori" markings. The connection? Well F-86s were "Mig killers" after all!

wrenchy Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 This is the place to enter your proposed builds! I'm in with something, probably a Hobbyboss 17 or Academy 21. These decisions take time ya know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thinking of joining, but can’t decide between these two options. 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-21 MF in Iraqi (most likely) or Polish markings or 1/32 MiG-19 (F-6) in Egyptian markings. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wrenchy Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm in with something, probably a Hobbyboss 17 or Academy 21. These decisions take time ya know Ok, yup, it's gonna be a Hobbyboss Mig 17 in VPAF markings. I've got a Neomega cockpit and some Quickboost stuff for it as well. Off we go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
