Alpagueur Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) if you ever get around to it, you can learn from my mistakes here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=30312&hl= great stuff karl! are these two kits excactly the same thing? or are there differences in the exhaust ducts? 'cause I see you started from the #4707 box but I have the #4799 box... :unsure: cheers Edited November 21, 2015 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Thanx! the later kits (dont know if 4799 is a later version) have altered ducts, but they are still wrong and you need the zacto set to correct them. Edited November 24, 2015 by karl h Quote Link to post Share on other sites

karl h Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) i would start with a trumpy mig 29 kit, use the revell parts to backdate and the zacto parts for detailing if i would ever do it again (and i wont). alexander rogal (hi buddy!) started a conversion like this here on ARC, but to my knowledge it hasnt been completed.

Alpagueur Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) but I have 2 revell kits in my stash Edited November 25, 2015 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Just wondering... If we buy all the Zacto parts, this cockpit and other stuff that's available to correct the Revell kit... what parts of the Revell kit will we end up using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) not very many, there is no part to be used without modifications. if you read my buildthread you see that i tried, but still failed, some parts are incorrectible (at least for me) like the wing/fuselage joint on the leading edge. this is why i recomend starting with a trumpy AND revell kit Edited November 27, 2015 by karl h Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) but Sten is preparing a totally new forward fuselage section for the Revell kit http://coldwarstudio.com/In%20The%20Works.html it will be correcting the wrong LERX fairing of the kit Edited November 27, 2015 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 this will help with the forward fuselage and the placement of the nose LG well. but it wont help with the engine nacelle tops and the competely fictious MLG wells. the trumpy mig is much better in that area. if you dig a little deeper into pics you will realize just how bad the revell kit is (its a very old kit, seems it was made from pics only and no measurements or plans of the real aircraft) go here for reference: http://hunavia.hu/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 but it wont help with the engine nacelle tops hi karl, what kind of intervention do they need? Aree they too "flat"? regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 wow Marcel... a further masterpiece at the horizon from you then... which bird are you planning to build?? Thx... I will likely go for a Ukrainian 29... will look good next to my Ukrainian Su-27 Karl, lucky you that you have finished yours Cheers, Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 the nacelle tops are chllenged shapewise in the revell kit. thanx Marcel, if it wouldnt have been a buildthread i would have chickened out.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 any news about the front section of the fuselage? http://www.coldwarstudio.com/In%20The%20Works.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I wonder if the front section for the 1:32 Revell kit still considered for release or cancelled due to the new Trumpeter MIG-29 series in sight? May be it would be better to wait until the Trumpeter kit actually is released to produce corrections suited for this one, rather than actually take the efforts to a massive correction for the outdated and grossly inaccurate Revell offering. Shure, the Trumpeter MIG-29 will have its issues, but I expect it to be more accurate than the old Revell offering. So the correction kit might be considerably less extensive. An other question is, how Stenkabg´s superb MIG-29 cckpit will fit in the Trumpeter kit. There are other 1:32 Trumpeter kits, who badly need correction kits as well (MIG-23ML nose, Su-25K canopy shape and nose, MIG-21MF nose and spine). May be it would be more wise to give these some love before. Greetings Christian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which new kits do you mean? I do not know... I have all the Zacto conversions for the Revell Fulcrum and I'd like to use them :unsure: Edited March 3, 2016 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Which new kits do you mean? I do not know... Trumpeter announced the legacy 29's in 1/32 in their catalog: MiG-29, MiG-29UB, MiG-29 (9.13) and MiG-29SMT. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/969466-trumpeter-03233-mig-29a-fulcrum Edited March 3, 2016 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I still work slowly on the master and I am determined to finish it. It turned much more troublesome than expected at first. I know that most of the folks will opt for the new Trumpeter offering but I want to build my Revell kits as well. Now I want to finish some more needed corrections in 1/48 scale first. I am done with it I will offer it if someone wants to use all the goodies he has collected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Perhaps the Trumpeter kits will need some corrections as well :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sten, I'm in for the Revell kit w/Zacto corrections and Cold War Studio cockpit, too! (I'm sure Trumpeter kits will have some issues... as always) so pleeeeaseeee complete the forward fuselage Edited March 4, 2016 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
