Brad-M Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Well, since we are talking about the Mig-31, who cares where the L-29 is... Brad So where's the L-29?? We've seen test shots and printed boxes, but no kits in the pipeline yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 And you felt the need to comment on that because? There's all kinds of other stuff in the thread, and as far as I'm aware, there is no law against asking questions. Maybe things are different in Canada, I don't know.

Brad-M Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I read the OP and the gentleman requested that a wishlist not be started within his thread. Seems simple enough to me doesn't it?

Koen L Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) So where's the L-29?? We've seen test shots and printed boxes, but no kits in the pipeline yet? They are on their way to the shops according to AMK's Facebook page. HLJ and 1999.co.jp are expecting them at the end of the month. Back to MiG-31's! :) Edited November 15, 2013 by Koen L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Ok, so I guess this website is wrong then? http://www.ausairpower.net/TE-Foxbat-Foxhound-92.html Brad Yes. R-37 and -33 are very different missiles and R-37 used different ejector. Beyond that i think the cutouts in the fuselage were different too. And you felt the need to comment on that because? There's all kinds of other stuff in the thread, and as far as I'm aware, there is no law against asking questions. Maybe things are different in Canada, I don't know. Nice and sharky reply.

Brad-M Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi Berkut, Thanks for the reply, so if the R-40 is attached to a pylon, as is the R-60, then what missile would be suitable under the belly of the -BM? Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) MiG-31BM uses only following weapons: - R-73 on wing pylons. Nothing else. - R-33(*S) on the belly. Nothing else. As i said earlier, R-37M (RVV-BD) is for future, it will almost certainly go under the belly. *Take a wild stab for what S stands for in R-33S. :)/> Edited November 15, 2013 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Perfect, thanks. Look forward to the Mig-31 release. Brad MiG-31BM uses only following weapons: - R-73 on wing pylons.

ijozic Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) There are photos of the MiG-31 carrying R-60's too; He did say MiG-31BM, not the regular MiG-31B - the large wing-mounted pylon from the photo (for R-40TD missiles) is not present on the upgraded BM variant IIRC. Although, I'd also expect the BM to support RVV-SD (R-77 derivative) on the wing pylons? Edited April 10, 2014 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 When is this bad boy coming out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) When is this bad boy coming out? according to: member: Berkut (in another thread related to AMK product) it is still in the CAD stage...the project is still on their FB page. but since no steel had been cut yet, it might take a couple months at least before we see the plastic of that beast...

Mizar Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 do wonder if the 1/48 will have an intake trunk,can't find anything on RU forums,does the Mig-25 have the same duct shape or are different? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inquisitor Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) do wonder if the 1/48 will have an intake trunk,can't find anything on RU forums,does the Mig-25 have the same duct shape or are different? Fourth post on the first page! I have been offering the suggestions, advice and material and i can say they are receiving it extremely well. They clearly have interest to make the best and most accurate product they can. I noticed that although captions on their FB site said "MiG-31BM" none of the CAD's actually showed BM. I provided them with list of changes that need to be done in order for it to be BM, and they will do those changes. Also, there will be full intakes, none of that silly "black hole" stuff. Anyway, here are some ARC exclusive (for now) CAD shots that i have been allowed to share. Feel free to point out any "mistakes", but be sure to check against pictures just in case before you post them here. I have pointed out a few things already on them, areas with red lines. If anyone want "clean" versions without any red lines PM me. Does that answer your question? Edited December 2, 2014 by Inquisitor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 do wonder if the 1/48 will have an intake trunk,can't find anything on RU forums,does the Mig-25 have the same duct shape or are different? They are completely different aircrafts with completely different engines, there is no reason for them to have the same intake ducts. And yes, the kit is planned with full intakes.

And yes, the kit is planned with full intakes. Haw,I was hoping to snatch those 1/72 Mig-25 intakes and try something stupid while mixing Zvezda and ICM Mig-31,why there is so little to no aftermarket stuff for 72th Mig-31 Thanks anyway :-\ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
