Madoc Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Is the Ye-152-1 a single engine machine or a twin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rui Silva Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hi Madoc, The Ye-152-1 was powered by a single Tumansky R-15, the same engine that later powered the (twin-engined) MiG-25. See this for the full Ye-150 family:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_Ye-150_family BR, Rui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I would be interested in the Speed Record version "Ye-166" which was an E-152-1, but... is it the one in the box???? Anybody some more info on the record flight? I find it quite confusing because the E-152-2 with "E166" on the nose in Monino is always shown when I search for the record but it clearly is the sister ship, although I like the speedy livery and the blown canopy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The 'Ye-166' at Monino is actually the Ye-152M painted to look like the record-breaking Ye-166. Modelsvit already do the Ye-152M....... They have now done the Ye-150, Ye-152A and Ye-152M.............. The new Ye-152-1 completes the lineup....... I wish they would re-release the Ye-152M with Ye-166 markings. Ken PS...

Flankerman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I couldn't find any photographic evidence of it having flown with the canards - so mine is a bit of a 'What if?' Yefim Gordons 'Soviet Heavy Interceptors' (Vol 19 in the Red Star series) has a photo of a model of the Ye-152M with canards and raked wingtip launch rails/winglets (supplied in the kit). He also says.... "The canards fitted originally were soon removed, leaving only prominent fairings on the forward fuselage sides where they had been" The same book has four colour photos of the Ye-152M fitted with wingtip missiles as in my model - but without the canards.

Modelsvit already do the Ye-152M....... (...) Does "painted to look like the record-breaking Ye-166" mean that the Ye-166 during the record flight was painted in the same livery as Ye-152M at Monino? Or that the Monino Ye-152M was just given a high-speed-livery to look like a record holder? Nice builds! René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Ye-152A should look VERY interesting when placed next to the Trumpeter Shenyang F-8-II Cross-kitting of these two should produce the exact copy of J-8-I, as I still don't believe the Chinese have built it having no the Ye-152A blueprints...

Flankerman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Rene, I think I am confusing myself re the Ye-152M and Ye-166 - I think they were one and the same aircraft. From Red Star 19..... "Upon completion of the flight test program the Ye-152M was put on static display at the airshow at Domodedovo on 9 July 1967. It bore the inscription 'E-166' in Cyrillic and three red stars signifying the three world speed records set by the Ye-152-1, accompanied by details of each record. The bogus Ye-166 designation was a typical example of Soviet cover-up and misinformation in the Cold War days. It was used to register the aircraft with the FAI for the speed record attempts. After the show the aircraft was donated to the Soviet Air Force museum in Monino - where it is on display to this day." So, it was the Ye-152-1 that gained the speed records - but it was the Ye-152M that pretended to get them - disguised as the Ye-166. It looks like the Soviet misinformation worked!!

The dimensions are different - but it would make a great project - go for it!! It's more like a MiG-21 (J7) on steroids!! My pics of the J8 - taken in 2010....

Ken So the record flights of Ye-152-1 probably took place in no special livery. Ye-152-2 was painted in the record seter scheme after the test program ended and I found no pics of Ye-152-1 in any other livery than aluminum all over.

Ken I'm building a Shenyang F-8-II at the moment and have thought what would be best to cross-kit, as it don't look as easy as it should be.... it is something I really want to do though.
