IPMS19 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 - From Trumpy, mostly OOB excepted the wheels and their mud gards , the nose probe and of course the DDR decals - I ve found the main manding gear a bit tricky but nothing which could be easily overcome 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Very nice. Like the colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 very nice model ! like the subtle weathering on this dark scheme! I think though this one is more an MF than an ML. The vertical stabilizer/ fin are quite different on those! Regards, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snitok1983 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Stunning work! legendary a/c with interesting scheme! Congradulations!

Floggerman Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) I think though this one is more an MF than an ML. On the other hand, Trumpy's MF has so many ML features... One point only: There was no bort 532 in the GDR AF (maybe you meant 582?). Anyway, I'm always happy to see GDR planes and you met the camo colour quite good! And the MF is a part of my youth... EDIT: Obviously you took the M kit, so the canopy strut is missing. Edited April 27, 2014 by Floggerman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the MF is a part of my youth... -I,m happy to have bring you back some years ago, I think that modellism is made for this too. - About the bort number, I'm not specialized enough in LuftstreitkrÄfte to be aware of this detail and strangely the documentation about this period is rather scarce, but I thank you for your notice and I will search my decals spare box to correct this. - Th epaint I used are for most the Revell acrylics. A few monthes ago I built a DDR Mig 21F-13 using the same paints - As for the Flogger the Bort Nummer may be wrong........Verzeihensie mich....... - My next Flogger will be an UM with Neomega transkit . I;ll try to be right this time I ever you had some photos I will be very happy. You can reach me by P.M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floggerman Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 - Do you know in which range were the Bort Nummern applied to the DDR UM ? Let me answer this first: Complete record of GDR UB's is: 100 JG-9 Peenemuende (Fighter Sqdr) 101 JBG-37 Drewitz (Fighter Bomber Sqdr) (crashed June, 17th 1987) 102 JBG-37 103 JG-9 104 JBG-37 105 JBG-37 106 JG-9 107 JG-9 108 JG-9 (crashed Oct. 3rd 1983) 109 JG-9 (see my model, the only one delivered in grey, soon camo applied) 110 JG-9 (crashed May, 21st 1986) more info will follow Rgds Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality is - as usual - very high. - I used on all my Floggers (there's a BN too) the Eduard PE for outside. The splitter plates are excellent (I don't like Trumpy's in both 32 and 48 scale). From this set you'll get also the correct wheel hubs for the front gear (Trumpy's are for ML) and many more (a lot of small details like the prominent RSBN (=ILS) antenna under the nose ("fork"missing). Unfortunately the front gear steering is wrong on both M and MF kits (the difference of these two kits is only the canopy). This detail is very prominent, I've scratched it on both BN (not happy with the result) and UB (a little better). Big issue is the main gear as Trumpy's design shows more the ML (longer main actuator). You can achieve the correct sit of the plane (M, MF, BN and UB are tail-sitters) and the correct look of the the wheel well doors only as a compromise (at least with my limited skills). I used the Aires wheel wells (great stuff! - and Trumpy's are wrong). Decals I used are from TOM (best GDR insignias and bort on the market, available from Lindenhill http://lindenhillimports.com/tom.htm) EDIT: One thing I forgot: Most (all?) UB's based on the M, i.e. the haven't the double rudder damper (like MF). Trumpy's M kit is wrong in this aspect, but with a little filler and some scratching it can be done.

IPMS19 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 - Thank you for these very useful tips, I have no problem with resin and I've already used several Neomega kit. I think building a BN is feasable using Academy Mig 27 nose grafted to a Trumpy fuselage with some adaptation, but till now I've not found the way to get the right bigger and sloppy windshield, I think of making a master and entering some molding job .

Floggerman Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I think building a BN is feasable using Academy Mig 27 nose grafted to a Trumpy fuselage with some adaptation, Academy MiG-27? Did I missed something? Or did you mean ESCII/Hobbycraft? In this case: NEVER!!! The nose of both (nearly identical) kits is simply a desaster and has nothing of a "duck nose" MiG. I made mine from the long-time oop Kazan conversion. I don't understand that nobody comes out with a set for the now existing (and w/o doubt far better) Trumpy. Come on, Neomega! http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234937449-mig-23bn-trumpeter-148/?hl=mig-23bn Edited April 28, 2014 by Floggerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
