mig21gato Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Hello everybody,this the Mikoyan E-8 fan group in facebook; Mikoyan E-8 fan group Please join us and start to asking for a scale model of the coolest Fishbed version. Maybe that some day we can inspire to a manufacturer to do the amazing ye-8 in scale. After all Dreaming is for free,and is the first step. Thank you.

Laurent Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure that Amodel (Ye-7PD, ...) or ART Model (Yak-36, Yak-141, ...) are already working on a 1/72 kit. Edited December 12, 2011 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjc2278304 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Omega Models already does a 1/72 resin Ye-8, although very expensive, if your waiting for an injection molded one you'll probably be waiting awhile as it was a prototype and never went into service.

Otto Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Isn't the YE-8, what they used to call "a poor rendition of an F-16Ski? Just like they used to call the tu-144 the Concordski. Edited December 17, 2011 by Otto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otto Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 In which case, I think that this would have been much cooler and would have made more sense. Plus it would've flown by 1972. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG31 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Isn't the YE-8, what they used to call "a poor rendition of an F-16Ski? Except that the Ye-8 (Ye being an English transliteration of the Russian letter "E") flew in 1962, twelve years before the first YF-16 flight. Tu-144 is a whole different matter.

Jennings Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Anybody seen actual photos of the kit itself? I'm not familiar with Art Models. Is their other stuff any good? I'm assuming this is 1/72, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

famvburg Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Airmodel made a neat little vac kit many years ago, with resin detail parts. I wouldn't mind a 1/32 kit, but not expensive & overly detailed with resin & PE junk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind a 1/32 kit, but not expensive & overly detailed with resin & PE junk. Wasn't it made in ridiculous low number? Something like 20. Or maybe i am confusing with some other kit.

Jennings Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hmm... I think I'll be waiting for a 1/48 kit someday. That 1/72 kit looks like KP moldings from the 1970s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt you'll see a 1/48 injected plastic Ye-8/2 kit before the Big Crunch or the Big Freeze. I don't see any commonality between the ART kit and a KP kit: better level of detail, recessed panel lines, little or no flash.
