Defo Mig 31,

 

GWH Mig 29 is a little overrated imo.

 

Why overrated? 

 

Many 31s lately ( very understandably :) ) so a nice 9-13 would be welcome! 

 

Which scheme? 

Antarki do  a nice sheet with no so often build ones...

Because when I built mine I found, especially for a state of the art kit, that some fit was poor (mainly where the engine covers and fuselage meet underneath).

Also the small 'aerials' on the wing and tailplane tips are very fragile and thus prone to breaking and should have been supplied as seperate pieces.

The engines, to make the covers fit, had to be 'de-detailed' it would have been better to have simplified versions for a closed build which you know would fit.

That's all I can remember at the moment it still makes a good model but, working from reviews, the AMK Mig 31 seems to be the dog's danglies and I covet one.

At the moment the MiG-29 is in pole position :P

 

One of the reasons i prefer the Mig-29 (except of her beauty) is the huge and excellent Eduard PE parts i bought!

Just amazing.

Hello everybody,

 

Dryfit of AMK MiG-31, GWH MiG-29 and Kinetic F/A-18C -  comparison, all are 1/48 scale!

 

The 31 is a real beast :o
