Huey Gunner Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looks like a Mig-23 to me. That's not my genre, but , thanks Trumpeter for marketing stuff no one else will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Give em time - I figure Hobbyboss in 2011/12. Enough time to start saving pennies and clearing stash space Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Give em time - I figure Hobbyboss in 2011/12. Enough time to start saving pennies and clearing stash space And still no decent 1/48 Foxbat, nor any other scale for that matter... J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I wish they would upload bigger shots. They had bigger pictures before, don't understand why they now have these tiny 300 pixels pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I wish they would upload bigger shots. They had bigger pictures before, don't understand why they now have these tiny 300 pixels pictures. Pure speculation, but I assume before, the larger images would set off the nitpickers and soon it would descend into Trumpy bashing. Bad PR especially when you think how close a relationship IPMS Philippines has with them. They may have also had issues with others using their images, hot linking them on other sites.

madmanrick Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Pure speculation, but I assume before, the larger images would set off the nitpickers and soon it would descend into Trumpy bashing. I seriously doubt that the size of the pics will stop the usual rabble from finding every error real or imagined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Good!! The decal guys should go nuts with all the different schemes these came in, resin guys as well for exterior differences. The parts breakdown shows there could be a lot of different variants. Hopefully they do a MiG-27 as well. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah they have a Mig-27 coming, IIRC they had posted pics late last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wizard_rkt Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 http://ipmsphilippines.com/mig23/Discuss.... It is going to be a fine kit, I'm sure...........for Trumpeter quality, that is. I'll skip a few lunches and have enough for this 'toot sweet'! When is it coming out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TaiidanTomcat Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Im sure it will have some issues, every single Flogger kit has so far. Flogger fans are used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'll probably get one - if they get it reasonably right. Whatever that means. The photos are worthless though. Looking forward to see a proper review from someone who knows what he's talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjo Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) I wish they would upload bigger shots. They had bigger pictures before, don't understand why they now have these tiny 300 pixels pictures. LOL, thats because asians are tight, they will skimp on anything, even when it doesnt really matter lol. I know, and im allowed to say it because i am half of one :-) I really am excited about this kit, i cant wait to build it when i finally get my hands on one.

Berkut Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 B) ill start when built pics appear :D Rip that poor kit apart! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Rip that poor kit apart! Probably why they posted low res pics! On a serious note...anyone see an Aphid (AA-8) on the sprues? I remember this was asked when they first popped up last year around the time of the Tokyo show Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember this was asked when they first popped up last year around the time of the Tokyo show Hi Matt, not sure whether Trumpeter give you the Aphid but it is available here along with other Russian A2A missiles. ;) HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackThor 06 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I won't speak for that MiG test shot but I can speak about the low-res images: It was simply bandwidth issues. Some of you may recall that our site was down a couple weeks because of that. BT6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) 1/32 mig 23... that's gonna be very interresting! (mig 27 too) i'm not the one that usually come and complain about issue of the kit just by seeing the pics... but... but i think that they could have put a radar in the nosecone of the airplane! ...i question the choice of molding in simplistic two halves the whole front part of the plane... (they take care to create a modular kit design, with nice rear fuselage...) all other sprues are ok to me... (there's even already mig-27 parts on sprues! ...i can see short intakes plates...) ...why do they furbish underwing fuel tanks... that none will ever use...(rarely use on real plane!) ...and i can't see ventral fueltank(that was commonly use!) on any sprueshots...
