juanchopancho Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hey guys, Which GWH MiG-29 kit would be the best to model the Iranian Air Force MiG-29? They were originally Iraqi? 9.12 Early 9.12 Late 9.13 Not sure which. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
variable Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 According to my Yefim Gordon Mig 29 reference, the IRIAF's initial order of Mig 29s became operational on 7 October 1990. These were 9.12B standard, and unofficially a "few dozen" were delivered. It also notes that Iran retained nine ex-Iraqi Migs flown to Iran during the Gulf War. The book states the Iraqi machines were also 9.12b standard. How this correlates to the 9.12 version GWH Hobby kits I am not sure. I have read that the "early type" kit has parts to build both the early and late type 9.12 version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 They are the late 9.12 version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does, and it's a simple matter of leaving out parts (ventral fins) or using other parts that are in the box. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
