HomeBe Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Eduard has just announced 1/48th MiG-23MF "Flogger-B" & MiG-3ML "Flogger-G" in Czechoslovak service kit. New tool? That's the question. Frankly I hardly imagine Eduard reboxing the Trumpeter's MiG-23 kits. But who knows. If they're new tool and from the same barrel as their 1/48th MiG-21 "Fishbed" Source: https://scontent.fbru2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/22382055_1823842124297393_5421894630712582162_o.png?oh=3b46bbc2e5e4abf84b990a1a4b7b5aba&oe=5A403F00 V.P.

Laurent Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If it's only a photo and given the size of the model, I'm pretty sure it will be a Trumpeter rebox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is the same concept as with many "new release" boxes from the Czech company. Almost no investment: just a new paper box, new decal and some etching, masks . . .

jester292 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I would argue *most* of Eduard's new releases are their own toolings. They do quite a few limited editions based on other manufacturer's kits, but still many of their limited editions are their own toolings. Hoping they're not the Trumpeter kits. But even if they are, the resin goodies and excellent decals will make them better options than the vanilla Trumpeter MiGs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Still needing better options in 1/72 as well. I was so, so disappointed with RV's Flogger once I tried to build it, especially after the huge hopeful buildup to its release.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
