david sMiGielski Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Trumpeter's new 1/48 MiG-21F-13 arrived yesterday. I've only taken a cursory glance at it and the trees are still wrapped in plastic. My plan is to get some pictures tonight and post them. Stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) My first Trumpeter kit. I can't comment on accuracy, but I'm very impressed with the presentation and the molding. Edited October 14, 2012 by DonSS3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Is it covered with recessed divots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomfan Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Is it the scaled down version of the 1/32 kit? If so, it shares the same little problems but I remenber I have read good comments when the big one was releaseed. For sure there is some issues with the main landing gear bays, the 32 kit as the same as the later version (MF) that is wrong for the F Bye. Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compare the sprue photos found in http://www.skywriter...%2021f13-f7.htm to the photos in http://ipmsphilippin...148-mig-21f-13/ The landing gears bays don't look to be designed the same way.

ChippyWho Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Watching with interest -as this is the only 21 variant I want, and the Eduard version shouldn't be far off... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I love the Eduard kits and am willing to wait on their release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) and the Eduard version shouldn't be far off... If you're thinking in terms of geological eras, you are right. They planned to release 2nd generation MiG kit at first then eventually first generation knowing that Chinese manufacturers would soon release something. Since there's almost no parts commonality with the existing kits, I doubt we'd see anything before 2014-2015. Edited October 15, 2012 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I DO think in geological time -that's how long it takes me to build anything... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knight of twin tail Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 omg，this kit is a mixture of Mig-21F-13 and J-7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 omg，this kit is a mixture of Mig-21F-13 and J-7 You're saying that the kit is a J/F-7 with single-piece canopy, single canon and no brake chute fairing at the fin base ? What makes it a J/F-7 and not a MiG-21 F-13 ? Please explain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 omg，this kit is a mixture of Mig-21F-13 and J-7 How so? I don't know a whole lot about either, so how do you mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
