Flankerman Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Just finished - the Modelsvit kit of the record-breaking MiG E-166...... It's really a MiG-152M............. ....... .but the designation was changed for the FAI record-breaking flights - to fool the west. The three stars representing the record-breaking flights...... It is a typical Modelsvit kit - highly detailed, but with large spue gates and every part had to be 'fettled' to clean them up. The decal sheet is superb - as are the instructions, etched brass parts and canopy/wheel masks. It fought me all the way though - but I won in the end. More pictures of the build here :- http://www.flankers-site.co.uk/model_e-166.html The real thing resides at Monino..... The E-166 completes my collection of Modelsvit 'BiG MiGs' ........

Bri2k Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 That's absolutely cracker-jack! I really like record-breakers and test-beds. Thanks for cluing me in on another interesting MiG! Bri2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
