Petarvu Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Boxart on 1999 Boxart is so exciting,I will probably have to buy 1kg of resin for it but it is very exciting release for me nevertheless. If they only get the nose and canopy correct I will be happy. P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If they only get the nose and canopy correct I will be happy. I don't see how it could be worst than the Esci MiG-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floggerman Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't see how it could be worst than the Esci MiG-27. That's not possible - so good point for Trumpy! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petarvu Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't see how it could be worst than the Esci MiG-27. Not more than Esci Mirage IIIE, because it is different airplane (joke) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mingwin Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 cool! this mean we will see trumpeter's 1/48 MiG-27 in the following months (i hope so!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 cool! this mean we will see trumpeter's 1/48 MiG-27 in the following months (i hope so!) I hope so too, but the MiG-23BN has nothing in common with the MiG-27 other than the basic fuselage structure. The entire nose is completely different, as of course are the intakes and exhaust.

B.Sin Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I hope so too, but the MiG-23BN has nothing in common with the MiG-27 other than the basic fuselage structure. The entire nose is completely different, as of course are the intakes and exhaust. Jennings, do you think thies differences will be reflected in the kit? NOT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, I think they will. Trumpeter doesn't always get everything right, but they usually get the differences between variants pretty well right. They'd get roasted if they put a BN nose on a MiG-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 well, i was assuming that trumpeter would come with optional nosecone,burners and intakes (at least) and maybe the new canon, wheels... they did different fuselage for their MiG-23M/MF and MiG-23ML/MLD... one could dream they'll do something similar for the attack Floggers... and IIRC they have already announced that they'll do 2 variants of MiG-27 in 1/48th (+the bN) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Their MiG-23s are generally fairly good, especially by Trumpeter standards. What I've seen thus far of the BN looks fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Good to hear about this release. I have the original ESCI MiG 23 and 27 and it leaves a LOT to be desired. Now I can donate it to a needy family. I have read somewhere that the Trumpeter 1/48 MiGs are a scale down of the 1/32nd kits which makes sense. From what I understand there is not a heck of a lot wrong with the 1/32 brother. I think I will pick up one of the 1/48th kits but have to figure out which one now.

sharkmouth Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 From what I know, the MiG-23BN will be next as it is closest to what is released already. The MiG-27 series requires new noses (depending on variant), engine exhaust area, larger tires and bulged gear bays, the cannon, and intakes. They have definitely been made aware of this. Will they proceed is the question. Hopefully, they'll consider 2 seat trainers as well Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jinmmydel Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I just ordered the M with full Brassin accessories. I guess I'll be getting this one too...my wallet thanks you Trumpeter. When does the bashing of an unreleased Trumpeter kit start? :rolleyes:/> Stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Their MiG-23s are generally fairly good, especially by Trumpeter standards. What I've seen thus far of the BN looks fine. Yeah, but i feel MiG-23 kits are just not much discussed imho. They have issues with nose (too long, although it seems depends on the version just how much too long it is), canopy, spine is too low ala their Su-24M kit and the intakes are just too boxy. The legs are too long for some of the variants and that is pretty visual too. Probably more but that is just the things that springs to mind. But certainly much better representation than Su-24M kit for example. Now a suggestion; The usual suspects of "anti-rivetcounting-brigade" are bound to show up in this thread and whine about us having a completely legitimate discussion about a kit. I suggest we completely ignore them. Let them whine. Discussing kit accuracy is NOT against the forum rules and never was. If we ignore them life will be much easier and not spiral down into what these discussions always end up as as soon as they arrive.

Jennings Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The kit, or the discussion about it? The kit isn't out yet, but it's based on the existing Trumpeter 1/48 Flogger family, of which there has been a good bit of discussion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
