Berkut Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hmmm....I had a look at the instruction sheet on the Eduard site. They really are throwing a lot of goodies into the box. Expensive but nice. Question though. One of the big gripes I have heard about the Academy boxing is that the weapons didn't look right or were out of scale. I have (and am currently building) the Eduard Mig-21MF. Admittedly, I don't know a ton about Soviet weaponry, but would any of the weapons in the '21 kit be appropriate on the '29? The Eduard weapons look pretty darn nice and if they constitute a "legal" load would look good hanging on the Fulcrum. Just a though. Only bombs are useable. And MiG-29 almost never carries them. If you feel confortable working with PE parts, Eduard has a PE set designed to correct the kit weapons And they correct them how? Missile fuselages are still way way off.

mingwin Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 what is weird, is that eduard's webpage claim : 4 attractive markings! ... next to that, there is 4 thumbnails of those markings... but, in fact, there is 5 markings on decal sheet (and instructions) they just did not publicize the IRIAF marking... (wich, by the way it is introduced in the instructions, shown some creativity... :blink: ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The information regarding the markings have been corrected. 5 markings total in the box. ;) Libor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfgun33 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'd still like to build one (with the aftermarket stuff as mentioned before). I really like the Polish one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'd still like to build one (with the aftermarket stuff as mentioned before). I really like the Polish one. Same here, still the best game in town for 1/48. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 $75.00 Ouch!!! I don't think there's $50 worth of after-market to make this a good deal, a seat, cockpit rear deck, chaff flair extension and decals does not total $50 in my book (well full retail in some)I'll pass.

Berkut Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Remember that is MSRP. I guess price will end up on 55-60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
