Mr B Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Building one now. i must say, it goes together fairly nicely....and fast.....cockpit is bare at best but externally looks quite good.....aiming to finish before 2018 and if I do, will post it in RFI... anyone sitting on on the fence on this one,I would suggest go for it. Only wish it was in 1/48 and with more esoteric markings like Bangladesh and Burma. cheers guys rgds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Surely a 1/48 version is in the works. Here’s hoping! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelraynz Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) A really nice build from moxing.net: Is it just me or does the wing look a bit too sharply swept or narrow? Edited December 27, 2017 by Modelraynz Pics 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 1 hour ago, Modelraynz said: Is it just me or does the wing look a bit too sharply swept or narrow? Hard to say really, given the wings and fuselage are based upon a Shenyang F-6 or MiG-19S if you'd prefer, I'd have to compare them to the F-6/19S plans in the 4+ book to be sure, of course that would require me to get my sticky mitts on one first. Must say I don't like all those pulled rivets shown in the surface detail, I'll be filling those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hoping that Trumpeter will release other variants of the Fantan such as airframe '10165' shown.Will make it an exception to buy one (big lie) and hopefully there will be one in 1/48.

I certainly thought that something didn't look quite right about the wing. Of course, it can be hard to tell from photos; like Wez says, better to get plastic in the hand!

I think that they look a lot worse than they actually are because of the rather unnecessarily dark panel wash the modeller has given it. A lighter tone would give it less of a CAD design look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A member on here kindly provided me with some Bangladesh roundels for my Antonov 32, so a request in the Wanted section may produce a positive result. I thought the roundels had a white background?

I joined the SIG last September and the leader mentioned this possibility but I've heard no more from him. I did go to their Web site and I'm sure they're still planned.

If Begemot or another decalmaker can be interested ...Caracal perhaps ? yea i'm really hoping a decal maker will have a sheet out soon - roundels and bort numbers are easy to supplement, but warning markings etc are a bit tricker been looking over the kit and i noticed some good/bad news: the bad: the pylons for the wing tanks are not correct at all, these are included as a 'swept' forward pylon for ordinance: when in reality are a vertical pylon with bracing a la mig-19: infact when i "actually" look; the fuel tank is pretty off also! probably benefit from a mig-19 tank......though at 11pm here, it looks like an etendard tank may also fit the bill !?!?! the good news: its a simple enough shape that most modellers will probably have a suitable pylon....... plus now you have an extra stores pylon for mounting weapons outboard of the fueltank (no locator in to drill out though grrrr) Id be slightly miffed with trumpeter, if i wassnt so happy to have a fantan after all these years!

ya-gabor Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The pylon is wrong, no questions about that. But the aux.fuel tank should be like the standard MiG-19 tank which was uniform for them. Of course there is a possibility to hang "something" else, a tank of a different type or of bigger capacity. This could be the case with the above photo.

madcop Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 It seems to me that the air intakes look also fairly off. I am not a connoisseur; but compared with the pic of the real Aircraft ..... Cheers Madcop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what can be done about that? Edited January 21, 2018 by Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Maybe a teeny bit pronounced (and a little on the thick side?)- but OK to me.... It certainly has a splitter plate - and a boundary-layer duct between it and the fuselage Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho590hm Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I concur with Ken. Extract from my primeportal WA below. Shame about the tanks - they look correct on the boxart. Hoping to revisit in May. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
