Does anyone know any more? December isnt far away and yet it is quiet on the subject ..... I think...... Dare I ask about an accurate Mongol?

sroubos Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Are there only two weekend editions for this kit out at the moment? I'm looking to buy one at SMW next month, hope they have some in stock somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) About future - ref. 70144 - MiG-21PF/PFM "Fishbed-D" Source: https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=95825&start=8355#p2268227 Quote Something that went largely unnoticed at Plastikova Zima were few sprues in a dark corner of the Eduard stand. They were none other than the brand new MiG-21PFM kit which is scheduled for release in January 2020. This is the second stage in the 72nd MiG-21 story from Eduard introducing three brand new sprues and some modifications to one of the common sprues. One of them is Frame F exclusively for the PFM version with main fuselage parts, wings and the fin dorsal tank along with other smaller parts. One of the bigger problems with the MF kits was eliminated by redesign of the wing brake down. And in comparison with MF’s we get a separate rudder after in most cases it was deflected one way or the other. An interesting Frame is H which will be common with the PF version later next year. It has cockpit parts for both PF and PFM, introduces the SK seats which of course will be only for the PF version. A beautiful GP-9 gun container, all the different antennas including some microscopic ones too. Frame I is for clear parts and once again it is for both PF and PFM. Two versions of the forward opening canopy (for later PF version) where one is intended for a closed, the other for the open position. Instrument panels in the now standard multi versions, so no points for guessing that there will be both decal and photoetch alternatives for the instruments. On Frame D seen before in the MF versions some corrections were made and there is also the weapons sprue which is exactly the same as on earlier 72 nd scale 21’s. So even if the 72nd revolutions has slowed down a bit (according to some), it is on track and in a months time the PFM kit will be out. As far as I know the next one, the MiG-21PF is due for around Moson but we did not speak about this with Mr. Sulc at Plastikova Zima. For the moment the PFM will be here and we should indulge in this one! V.P. Edited December 28, 2019 by Homebee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroubos Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Just got the Swordfish MF version last week What an incredible accomplishment in molding technology, it looks really impressive on the sprues. Looking forward to building it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Eduard lack of interest in 1/48th for MiG-21's that saw actual, and reasonably well documented combat use surprising, like the Indian AF FL's, and especially as they had Israeli Mirage III boxings, but not an Arab FL from the six day war and the 'war of attrition' to Yom Kippor war, I find the camouflaged ones most appealing subjects. When they did their free postage off a while back I asked for, (and got) a PFM tail/spine sprue to do an FL....but as @RidgeRunner sig line says "So many projects, so little time!" cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the 1/72nd releases seem to follow the pattern set by Eduards 1/48th range, I would say a Gentlemen's Scale bis is very likely. More likely than an U at any rate...
