New 1/72 MiG-19 from Clear Prop


Recommended Posts

It is good to see that a Hungarian example is also included in the range of schemes. The only problem is that in this form they never flew, ONLY MUSEUM aircraft were painted with these round aircraft numbers!

 

In service the aircraft had very distinct square shaped numbers. Sorry to see this, but . . .

If you let them know, it may be possible to change them to the correct style.

Hi Robert,

 

You know me.

Contacted them yesterday immediately after seeing the planned schemes. "Work in progress" as we speak and hopefully the end result at least for the Hungarian version will be as it should be. The way they flew in active service.

 

Best regards

In parallel with the missile fighter MiG-19PM in March this year the Radar/Gun version MiG-19P version will also be released.

Here are some of the paint schemes for the P version.

The current plan calls for an April release of two brand new Clear Prop! kits. The MiG-19P and the MiG-19PM are scheduled to be released simultaneously. Since first images of the kit and the planed paint schemes were published in February this year there were many comments and corrections provided. There are kit companies who accept such help and make corrections to a future kit release. Many details and fine tuning of the decals was made in the past weeks.

 

Like the Hungarian version was corrected and many details added to make the markings as perfect as possible.  : )  : )

 

Here are few of the schemes which will be included with the kits.

 

Best regards

The extras are also on the way for the brand new Clear Prop MiG-19PM kit. One of them is a 3D printed "Curtain" type ejection seat with straps and all, so there is not need to fiddle around with useless photoetch parts. 

 

Hope that in few weeks time the kit will be available at the Moson show.

 

Best regards

I have a Bilek P version, an old KP S version and a new KP P/PM. I could compare them with drawings, but I don't know which ones are correct.

I await your report on the following Monday 🙂.

Me also!  : )  : )

 

Apart from the plastic kits they will also have some of the homegrown aftermarkets, like 3D printed ejection seats, airbrakes, wheels, ORO-57K unguided missile block and paint masks.

 

Unlike last year this time in 2025 Clear Prop! will be under his own name with a stand in the training hall MKC on stand J9.

Here is the location of Clear Prop! stand in the MKC hall for anyone interested. This is the training hall, the one separate building in the back of the sport complex. Get out of the main event building UFM Arena in the back, past the catering stands in the parking lot and to the right you will find the separate MKC training hall with all the model companies.

The weather for the weekend should be OK, well a bit cooler than it was 2 years ago. Light rains could be possible but nothing serious and the temperature between 15-20 C.

 

I will have a kind of chit-chat with modellers at the Polish Master’s stand (F-4 – F-5) (easy to remember F-4 Phantom & F-5 Freedom Fighter) : )  : )   : )  in the afternoon from around 3 PM.

Doing some brass work, showing some 3D prints, hints and tips on what and how to do. Displaying a Browning M2 machine gun in 35th scale and lots of ammo boxes, shells, links . . . They are really fun to do! Hope to show something useful to modellers but also to learn from comments. Don’t forget it is a two way communication!

 

Unfortunately there is not enough space to have any of my 1/1 scale ejection seats this time at the Moson show, but still there could be some interesting things around.  : )  : )

 

Hope will have with me the Fine Molds Zero cockpit section to show a real Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero kit. I know that the GCFC will be represented at the Moson show in great numbers. They are the "Gabor’s Czech Fan Club" so most likely there will be some talk about Migs also.    : )    : )    : )     Anyone is welcome to come along and exchange views, opinions. . .   Language barrier should not be a problem but to simplify things have prepared some sheets with photos which should be self-explanatory.  

 

Look forward to seeing anyone on Saturday afternoon at the Master stand.

 

Don’t forget whatever you do the most important thing is to have fun along the way! : )  : )

 

Best regards

Gabor

@ya-gaborHave a great time there. Would like to be there, but another time.

 

OT, can you ask Clear Prop if there is any progress on their WF-1/E-1 Tracer please.

 

Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

 

Will do. Ask the Tracer question. 

 

Moson is a good show. Two days, lots of time to look around, time to see the kits, lots of time for shoping. . .    But most important a lot of friends from all around the world!!! There is a big delegation arriving from China and Japan!!!!!!!!

 

And of course the special Czech delegation from GCFC club who simply love me!!!!!!  : )  : )  : )  The boss is the vice president of the GCFC!   : )  : )

 

Look forward to the MiG-19PM and to see how they managed to make the decal for our aircraft. At least there is one company who really care and make note of comments!

 

Actually as far as I know there are a lot of visitors coming from UK and from Bristol!

 

Best regards

Back from Moson. This is what the Clear Prop! stand was looking like at 08.00 AM before the show started. 

 

So after Moson all I can say is that the Clear Prop! MiG-19PM looks excellent! Will do some photos of the sprues and comment on some things.

The plan was to visit Clear Prop! stand early in the morning to have a chance of buying the kit. The early visit paid off since by noon all the 19PM kits were gone! They had two or three large cardboard boxes of them so it was a lot of kits which had found new happy owners! Those coming later in the day or on Sunday had to make to do with the MiG-19P version only. Sorry!

 

Best regards

Hi Michael,

 

Little is known about future projects but I think the question of the early MiG-19S was raised already and as far as I know it is a possible future product. Dont ask me WHEN.

 

On the other hand I did ask about other plans like the MiG-23MF and the Su-25 and they are in the pipeline and should be around soon. Which is good news!

 

Best regards

Gabor

That MiG looks real good. But what really interests me is are the sprues to the right. Definitely looks like a LaGG-3 wing. Did you get any dedicated pictures of LaGG?

Yes it is the Lagg kit which was announced a year ago and some CAD shown.

 

At Moson Clear Prop! had the sprues and also one complete built example. Will have a look in the photos.

Bummer. Thanks for looking.

Sorry!!!!!!!! 

Yeeeeee  it was there, I was looking at it, but the 19PM was far more interesting for me. Went there before opening at 8AM. Took some photos of the stand with the MiG-19's and other details, but then for no reason at all the lights in the hall were turned off or to be more precise dimmed to almost complete darkness. So while I had a plan to take photos of all the new kits and the sprues in the end was not able for no lights. The idea was to return later in the day, but with the very hectic show, lots of people to speak too and also had my own kind of workshop from 2PM at the Master stand so the actual going back and taking more photos idea was lost completely from my mental "things to do lis"t. 

Sorry!

Actually the Lagg kit did look very nice both on sprues and in the built demo form! But they also had a 32nd scale UT aircraft as well which will be one of the new releases later on.

 

Best regards

Hi Robert,

 

The only news about the E-1C is that work is on as we speak. They will have up dates as soon as it is available.

I managed to save this much about the Lagg. I know not much . . .

 

And here is the biplane with a nice 3D printed engine and that 32nd UT-1. You can already see that it is all dark and just the flash of the camera.

 

Best regards

Gabor
