beingthehero Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 http://scalemodels.ru/news/11298-anons-zvezda-1-72-mig-29smt---3D-rendery.html?k Lovely 3D renderings of Zvezda's upcoming 1/72 MiG-29SMT. Considering how excellent their MiG-29C kit is, I have high hopes. Hopefully they'll tackle the MiG-35 as their next Fulcrum. Kotey, care to hint at any schemes you'll be including in the decal sheet? I'm hoping the SMTs in the "classic" grey/grey green camouflage will be included! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Classik grey-green sceme - 9.19R, it have different fins and wingtips. Model will be 9.19A, so in model will be Algerian and RuAF splinter type ex-Algerian schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That's good there will be an Algerian option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

janman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Okay! Trumpeter has one now too, hasn't it? But I'm pretty sure I'll prefer this one. Nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trumpy MiG-29 are good kits (splendid surface detailing, quite good fit) and pretty good models globally so Trumpy provides the best 1/72 9.12 and UB for the moment. Nonetheless I don't like Trumpy's cross-section evolution in the windscreen area (bloated look) and opened auxiliary intakes so for the 9.13 and SMT, I choose Zvezda.

janman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I don't have Trump's 9.12, but if other options include the old Italeri-related kits, the horrible Japanese reinditions and the new Trumpeter, I'll gladly choose it. Yeah, I've heard it's a nice kit. So, I'm not a Trmpy basher! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Looks like one of the old, messed up Alamos sneaked into the CAD drawing. Hope Zvezda will also do the UB and the 9.12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't really study the spine, but looking at the photos of Laurent's build, the intake FOD doors seem disproportioned. E.g. if the GWH kit ones start at around 1/3 of the intake, on the Trumpy photos it looks more like they start at 40% of the opening. Perhaps it's just my impression from the photos, but from the first look I couldn't shake the feeling that it looks rather odd. Edited March 15, 2017 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it looks like a square while the real thing looks more like a rectangle. It doesn't look like there's a big difference in size, but the resulting effect seems quite apparent, at least on those photos. If it's indeed so, I REALLY hope they don't have the same error (or some bigger issues) on their upcoming 1/32 kit (or 1/48 if HB ever decides to downscale it) as I'd rather not do another GWH 29 kit if I can help it (poor engineering of intakes and rear fuselage (perhaps warped?), brittle and hard plastic in combination with large sprue attachment points, poor intake insides making it too much work to leave them open, flash, some misalignment, etc. - so disappointing for a well praised and expensive kit). Sorry for venting my fresh frustration with the GWH kit in this thread. Edited March 15, 2017 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm heavily seeking to build an Algerian, cause of this striking light blue basic color. Kotey - are yor still working on a additional decal-sheet and when will it be released?

In last moment Zvezda's management decide to reduce Algerian markings in inbox decals. Yes, now i'm at small vacation, but after my return to work i going to finish big MiG-29SMT decal, i hope it will be in print in the end of 2017 in 1/72 and 1/48 scales.

mario krijan Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 But keep in mind that Zvezda kit is for early SMTs not late ones. I hope that you will make decals for green 777, or 777 is with smaller hump behind cockpit??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 777 will include too in several painting schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beingthehero Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Will you also include decals for the 9.17 and 9.18 SMTs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
