Floggerman Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Today I received the brand-new MiG-29A - wow, what a HUGE box! First look is not bad! When I heart of this kit, my concern was to sell the Zactoman resin parts for some bucks on evilbay. Good news: Not necessary! I tried also to insert the wonderful CWS cockpit, with some surgery it should work (Trumpy pit is narrower). Trumpy's panel lines seems to be mostly fantasy, nevertheless very good looking. Here some comparisons between Zacto and Trumpy. And yes, Chris - great job! Edited June 17, 2017 by Floggerman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Now that Chris is working with Hazmat models, perhaps he'll give us more accurate models of our favorite subjects! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 The word 'fantasy' is the right word...I am going to consider the fitting of Chris's stuff. My goodness, what a difference! Also the exhausts! T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Those nozzles are to die for. At a minimum I would order those for the kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Those panel lines on the intakes... Even without any reference photos I could immediately tell they are pretty screwed, I mean so many times I have studied the pattern. It's hard to believe such details have passed the scrutiny. It's the year 2017 after all. I haven't read that much reviews on the kit (not my scale) but I do hope it's better than the panel lines would suggest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, Chris - great job! I'm happy to hear you like the parts. I have to give a big shout-out to Alexander (Eastern) . He made the exhausts for his build and sent them to me to use as a product. They were so nice they inspired me to do the whole correction set! I am responsible for the photo-etch though. As for the intakes, Alexander sent me the front section and I grafted it to the Revell center section. I can't recall if I did all the scribing or just the center section. Have you actually tried fitting the intake and engine tunnel parts? They were designed to fit the Revell kit so I'd doubt they would fit the new Trump kit without heavy modification. The exhausts were based on the Trump MiG-29M kit (and I sell them separately for that kit). Do they fit the new MiG-29A kit? I might just have to pick up the kit and see if there's anything I can offer to improve it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I just survived the f"§$%&g MiG-25 from KH with a lot of resin, I'm not scared about this. But first I need to build something easy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
