ijozic Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) PS: Is the secret AKU-170? ;)/>/>/> I wonder if this means a separate 9.13S release or it's intended for the SMT? Curious to see how the control surfaces will be realized.. Edited October 30, 2013 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted October 30, 2013 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 UB will certainly be more "popular"... but i'll personally prefer to buy a couple of SMT before... like Berkut said (again) there is not much need for new weapons (excepted maybe R-77) thanks again Yufei to keep this thread updated and alive!

Pep Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 do you know if the past releases will be re-released with he corrected parts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 UB will certainly be more "popular"... but i'll personally prefer to buy a couple of SMT before... Same thing here. Extensive operational life and tons on markings for the UB but I simply don't like the looks of this version. SMT for me too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andzin Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 UB first, SMT second, personally I will buy 2-3 UB and only one SMT, K will be nice also ... And 9.12 late with corrected parts is very welcome :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ch9862 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 do you know if the past releases will be re-released with he corrected parts? It would be even better if they were sold separately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El_Juanca Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) MiG-29UB or MiG-29SMT? MiG-29SMT Please!!!! Juan Edited October 31, 2013 by El_Juanca Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buck Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 So you know how everybody thinks the center windscreen panel on Phantoms and Tomcats are tinted (they aren't), is the one-piece wrap-around windscreen on the MiG-29 tinted? Sure does look like it in this photo! Compare to the main canopy. (Fair use and all that..) Not trying to call you out but trying to figure out what I'm seeing here... Most of the F-14's I've worked with have the same greenish blue center pane (Though I don't recall noticing it on the Delta T-Cats). Same goes for the F-4's (a mix of USN, USAF, & German). As far as Mig's go I've only seen abandoned & museum examples, most of which had badly discolored glazing. Anyway here's the image, it's old and shot with an early digital cam. We were between two decks as well so it's not a reflection of our bird or the sky: If there's a thread that covers this please give me a good steer ;)/> Mahalo & Thanks for all the info on this kit :cheers:/> Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The canopy is made from plexiglass a completely different material with different properties and colour. The windscreen has a slight bluish tint, it is very slight!!! I am not sure if you can reproduce this in 48th scale, not to say 72nd. Best regards Gabor Edited October 31, 2013 by ya-gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It would be even better if they were sold separately. :whistle:/> Hello Yufei, I would also be happy to get the retooled parts (pylons, tanks) separately. I would even take two sets. Thomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Koen L Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Both the UB and SMT will be welcome versions. Does this 9.12 'early' kit also include all the parts to build the later 9.12's? Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I would prefer the SMT. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tonal Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Congrats on your marriage even though I'm late, it's been awhile sense I've posted or even visited the site. Alas, this forum is always a MUST read. This kit as well as the most resent kit is on my to buy list. Man, what would I do without this forum? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madcop Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 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 Hi Yufei Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Thanks Yufei , wish other makers could follow this example ! Thumbs up for G.W.H Now the cherry on the top of the cake would be to make these sprues available separately for the customers who already owns the "Late" and 9-13 Models. Any idea, ? I would be ready to pay for these so as to " update " my two models. I already made some works on these items as you know , but I still prefer to have them "injected" ! Well done Madcop :D/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Today I received my early type 9-12 kit. But as mentioned in this thread, post#8 my kit also contains the wrong upper fuselage from the 9-13. Thomas Edited November 16, 2013 by Thomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Oh wow. That is pretty major packing issue. It would be funny however to see an "early 9-12" build having all the early stuff and humpback fuselage. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
