Laurent Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm talking about the J-8, not about the J-8II here. I believe that no kit of this type exists even in resin. Perhaps a short-run producer like Modelsvit could think about it. Do you think there could be a market ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 I prefer the single-piece canopy version myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 As photographed at the Military Museum of the Chinese Peoples Revolution in 2010..... ... and Xiaotangshan the same year.... There's another one at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Museum (photographed in 2013).... Maybe Modelsvit - in 1/72 scale - after their MiG 150/152 series ??

mingwin Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 nice photos Ken it's weird how in the first photo it looks like a very wide body sort of mig-21... and in the two others, fuselage looks more like if it was borrowed from an early Su-17. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) That's a MiG-21 (Chengdu J-7) next to it in the first photo...... During a return visit in 2013, it was outside whilst the museum gets a refurbish... (note the swivelling pitot) Compare the size with the tiny J-7....

I would love to see a 48th scale model of the J-8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
