Jay Chladek Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 BTW, not all Revell of Germany MiG-31s are the same. Only the latest pressing I believe is the Zvezda kit. Their first was a reissue of a Revell USA/Takara kit and it had a few accuracy problems since it was based on limited research materials at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG31 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Indeed, if you want the Revell-Germany kit (which has superior decals, from what I hear), you want RVL-4378. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waylandcool Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 BTW, not all Revell of Germany MiG-31s are the same. Only the latest pressing I believe is the Zvezda kit. Their first was a reissue of a Revell USA/Takara kit and it had a few accuracy problems since it was based on limited research materials at the time. A few problems is being nice. It was based on a couple of photos and a bunch of rough guesses. It somewhat resembles a MiG-31 from 6 feet away but the detail is very general and it has pylons instead of semi-recessed missile stations for the belly AA-9's. I'd stay away from it and go for the newer kits/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
