Sven Harjacek Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hey guys, I plan on building a Vietnamese MiG-21PFM for the upcoming Vietnam war GB and was wondering if this set if worth the money or is there another good combination of aftermarket parts for this model? I have decals and my budget for aftermarket is around 70$, any help would be kindly appreciated. Kind regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Beary Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I would go on the Eduard site and check out what is in the set and whether you really need all of it. I did the same thing for an upcoming F-4 build and discovered that I really did not need about half of it. Things like paint masks and RBF flags. There was a lot of PE for the seats...but the resin seats had more than enough detail for me. HTH Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vesthepes Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) If you don't mind the price, it's OK. That resin cockpit is better than their PE interior since the PE is prepainted in turquoise blue. That don't go with most of the PFMs...

Uncle Uncool Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sven, I personally encourage ya to get this set. I wish there were more Big Sin sets available for just every aircraft kit in the market, at least in 1/48th scale. Lately I've become addicted to these sets 'n,' despite of the price, in my opinion, I've found they're worth every 'n' each quid invested. Nay familiar with the Academy PFM kit, but I'd highly suspect it shares most of its parts with the MF one (i.e., wheels, wheel wells, missiles, cockpit most prolly?), is that the kit ya're usin'...? Mind ye, once ya finish yer model with the Big Sin set, difference in detail will show right after ya display it beside yer other models, 'n' this is the major setback I found against usin' the Big Sin sets. Cheers, Sven Unc² Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sven Harjacek Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks guys, I think I'll go ahead than and purchase the set. Uncle Uncool - I'm gonna be using the Eduard PFM kit and will be making it as the Vietnamese one. Kind regards and thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
