Laurent Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Yeepee ! Their 23UB sucks big time but I'm gonna buy this kit in any case. Edited August 16, 2013 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nice! Hope this will be a proper kit, or atleast on par with Yak-141. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hope this will be a proper kit Not "will" but "is". On sale at ModelsUA ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 There were some funny things on the 23UB model. Lets see what will come out of the MiG-27 kit. Hope I can have a closer look at it next week in Moscow. Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Ooooh, now there's a nice surprise! Had my fingers crossed for a single-seater Frogfoot, though. :D Edited August 16, 2013 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K-5 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Kaira equipped bird...hope they will complement it with something other then mundane FABs and rocket pods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrvark Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sacale? Injection or resin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sacale? Injection or resin? 1/72nd, injection. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Sacale? Injection or resin? 1/72 injection with bits of resin (cockpit and nozzle probably). I haven't ordered yet but I will even if the MiG-23UB made me cautious about Art kits. Does a replacement canopy exist ? Edited August 19, 2013 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digit Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I haven't ordered yet but I will even if the MiG-23UB made me cautious about Art kits. Does a replacement canopy exist ? Yeah, the Pavla vacform which is just as bad as the original. I could post a picture but I just get upset when I see it, so nope, someone else can do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Their Su-25UB (and variants) are supposed to be pretty good aren't they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I took one for the team and ordered a Flogger sight unseen. It's on the way to me at the moment. In Ahmed the Dead Terrorist's voice: The suspense is keelleen' meee! Their Su-25UB (and variants) are supposed to be pretty good aren't they? I've got two of the UBs and they look pretty decent to my eye. "digit" shared his views on the Su-28 HERE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Good to see another MiG-27 kit out. Any idea what decals are included?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Good to see another MiG-27 kit out. Any idea what decals are included?. AFAIK only Russia had the K. I'm broke: I've ordered for a friend and me Modelsvit Su-7U/BMKs, an Analog, a Su-25UB and MiG-27Ks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Flugzeugforum.de's "Berkut" has a found a thread on scalemodels.ru which has a look at the parts that make up the kit. LINK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just crapped my pants. One of my all time favorites. Finally. I truly hope it's good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks extremely RV'ish. Considering they had no problem copying Neomega seat for Yak-141, i wonder if they copied (to some degree anyway) RV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digit Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 We get bombs and rockets with the kit, how exciting! Actually I don't mind, it is much better than not including any ordnance. Looks extremely RV'ish. Considering they had no problem copying Neomega seat for Yak-141, i wonder if they copied (to some degree anyway) RV. No doubt it is RV. The parts layout is identical, just with worse plastic quality. Keeping in mind the MiG-23UB, I wonder if RV -27 is just about to be released? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Af Free re the RV kits in lack of weaponry. At least you get something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sorry Laurent, this kit is nowhere to be seen in Moscow shops. The fact that it is announced and shown as available will not meen that it is available for sale at the retailers. Even some "older" new releases are hard if not impossible to find here.

K-5 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yes but it's Russian. If you speak Russian could you provide a summary ? Google Translate isn't very helpful. It's a copy of RV 23BN with a new nose, but still the best 72nd MiG-27 on the market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 It's a copy of RV 23BN with a new nose, but still the best 72nd MiG-27 on the market. I know that ART reverse engineered R.V. Floggers. My question is did they do it properly this time as the MiG-23UB wasn't a successful job. I remember that the R.V. MiG-23B/BN had some windscreen+canopy matching issue and I wonder if ART did something about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
