Lodewijk Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have the old kit in the stash and I hardly want to build it considering all the errors. The missiles also don't look fun to clean up. Does anyone make resin Russian missiles in 1/48? Also, does anyone make 1/48 GDR MiG-29 decals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedStar Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) There are the Eduard Brassin missiles that cover the requisite types for a run-of-the-mill MiG-29 - R-27 and R-73 (as depicted above). But the missiles in the kit are awfully good, I'm not sure what the clean-up issue would be aside from some minor seam scraping with the tip of a knife blade. The pylons are the issue - and Eduard does those as well, but they are part of the missile sets. I keep suggesting to Eduard that they release the pylons by themselves, as an upgrade dedicated to this kit, but thus far they have not seen fit to do so. As for DDR decals, I know there are several older sets that cover those markings. The current Linden Hill sets don't cover them, but if you do a little digging, there are definitely older Superscale sets that cover the DDR MiG-29s extensively, including the "last flight" markings. And BTW Hero Ma, re: the picture above, that isn't part of the pylon on the missile, that is a cable tray that runs down the opposite side of the missile from where the missile attaches to the pylon.

mrvark Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 ...there are definitely older Superscale sets that cover the DDR MiG-29s extensively, including the "last flight" markings. Having seen several of them built up, just be aware that those Superscale 'last flight' decals are translucent and would need to be backed up by white decal to make them look presentable.

Hero Ma Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 RedStar : Know nothing about Migs or Russian missiles. Learning something everyday! Lodewijk : Cleaning up should be a breeze. Run the tip of blade perpendicular to the seam, it will be done in 2 minutes. Resins are way harder to cleanup IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yes, Lima - PERÚ I guess it is a grounded frame judging by lack of refuel probe and "cloudy" canopy? Any idea what that flat antenna is? For GPS? I have seen similar ones on a few recent Russian planes, like MiG-29SMT, T-50-4 and Su-30SM. In last two cases there is a pair of them however. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

born_to_perform Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi, Just wanted to ask whether there are any plans of reissueing the 9-12 version. If so, when can this be expected? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I'm pretty sure that if they spent the money to tool the kit, they're not planning on doing one release and chucking the tool in the dumpster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deadmeat Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Finished mine a few weeks ago. Lovely kit...just wonderful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Excellent! - too bad it's in the wrong scale. ;)/>/> Cheers, Andre Hush, Andre. You 72 types get all the love in terms of variety. It's only now that 48 scalers have a snowball's chance in hell of catching up. That MiG 29 looks to be a beauty. Wish I could snag one, but my $$$ have someplace else to go. Namely a lens that is going to cost me $6,000.00 (And I'm not talking just the 600mm - think 300mm f/2.8 VRII) Edited June 22, 2013 by The_Animal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedStar Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hi, Just wanted to ask whether there are any plans of reissueing the 9-12 version. If so, when can this be expected? Cheers. Based on the discounted price that Sprue Brothers is offering on the 9-12 ref: http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/lnrl4811.htm I'd have to guess that an updated 9-12 is on the way, with the corrections from the 9-13 - at minimum. We know an early 9-12 is coming at some point soon as well. Based on the comments in this thread, I'm also betting there are other variants of the 9-12 coming with extra bits required for other user/country specific variants... Look at the evolution of their P-61 series, they did very similar things in those releases. I'm looking forward to whatever they bring, as these are JEWELS! Just get one from SB if you want one as they're out there, and that's a pretty good price as it is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just saw at aeroscale that early 9-12 would be released at november of 2013 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi guys! Having been away for a while and here brings you some good news. I received the new tooled parts at the end last month and here are them. They will be included from the upcoming L4814 MiG-29 9-12 early type kits. Cheers, Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Any news on 9.19 Yufei? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Now you give me a good reason to get that "Early type" MiG-29A ! and like Berkut said, any news on the (highly desirable) SMT 9.19 variant ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks for the head up, buddies! Yes SMT will be the new project in 2014 because it will require new upper fuselage, cockpit panel, some new antenna, etc. They still have not decided to put in the new weapons with new pylons which will be another cost to them. Do you think which one will be more popular? MiG-29UB or MiG-29SMT? Thanks! Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent! Also remember that SMT has slighly different wingtips and all new middle fuel tank. As to weapons; imho there is no real point of doing new ones. SMT uses simply R-27's and R-73's, it is rare to see anything else beyond those. Do you think which one will be more popular? MiG-29UB or MiG-29SMT? Realistically, I think probably UB, since by far more countries use it so there is by far more markings. SMT (in 9.19 style) is limited to Algeria (before they canceled the deal), Russia and India. Indian "SMT's" are called UPG and have izd code 9.20. External difference between 9.19 and 9.20 are some antennas. PS: Is the secret AKU-170? ;)/> Edited October 30, 2013 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
