Hobbycraft Mig-25 vs. Hasegawa Mig-25?


Recommended Posts

Behemoth ..................

Or does Begemot only mean hippopotamus in Russian ???

Exactly, Ken, hippopotamus. Name Begemot goes back from child nickname establisher firm Alexandr Kurin'yan, we calling him Begemot Senior.

That is just a bit confusing to us English-speaking types!!!

I think that the Russian Begemot translates directly into English as Behemoth??

In English, Behemoth is any kind of large monster or 'thing'.

To be strictly correct, from a dictionary -

Behemoth -

1. A huge animal, possibly the Hippopotamus. Job 40:15-24.

2. An enormous, or enormously powerful, person or thing.

It is from the Hebrew 'Great beast of behemah'.

So it is a biblical reference (Job) - and is used in modern English to describe any great beast - including a Hippopotamus !!

So - a whale could be a 'behemoth'

Isn't there a Russian word for a Hippo ?? - Gippopotam ???

Anyway - lets get back to model aeroplanes..............

I don't think they have websites yet. Am I right Kotey ?

Kondor kits (from Ukrain, not Condor from Czech Republic who did the German missiles and A-36 Apache kits) can be found at a good price on www.hobbyterra.com. Begemot, I'm not sure. Hannants and Linden Hill Imports , I guess. Are there any other sellers in Europe ?

So.. I am sure Boris and kotey (Andrey) know each other =)) :cheers:

And of course everybody knows each other in our community as well =)

I personally know kotey for.. some.. 15 years I think.. =) We are from the same city, Rostov on Don (South of Russia)

We should ask Hannants, why they are "ignoring" Begemot..

How is from Hannants here? Jay? =))

Andrey,

I'll be eagerly awaiting your sheet for the MiG-25 and when it's out, I'll prob be ordering your other sheets as well.

One suggestion is a sheet for the "international" MiG-29s. I think quite a few air forces are not yet covered e.g. Sudan, Turkmenistan, Myanmar, Kazahkstan etc.

I think there's quite a huge base of modellers who will be inspired by new releases...

:thumbsup:

Yes, only 18 different sheets, clearly ignoring them :D

Hannants

I am sorry, I was wrong.. =) I saw their decals yesterday in Hannants too

But you don't work with Begemot directly, the supplier is intermediate man ;)

Holy Thread Revival, Batman!

Having just chopped up the Hobbycraft Foxbat, I say that the ONLY thing it has over the hasegawa is that it has very good decals.

Aside from that, what everyone else says... very crude hasegawa copy, expect to use internal bracing and lots of CA to assemble fuselage.

On top of all that(here's where it sucks for a kitbasher like me) the plastic sucks! its all fibrous.

Well, the Condor MiG-21P, PD and PU are available now. The RB is coming. These kits should be easier to find when they'll be sold under the ICM label.
