All from seeing a built example on here. It may well be my favourite 1/72 kit and I can see myself getting plenty more. There's so much in the way of colour schemes and users that I think it would be hard to get bored of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bored of MiG-21's, you're bored of life!" After many years of making do with so-so 1/72nd kits in terms of accuracy (Fujimi, Matchbox, Heller,. Hasegawa), refinement (KP / Plastyk / et al) and ease of assembly (RV), the Zvezda bis and PFM were a breath of fresh air.... until the Eduard ones came along. Plus, they are ridiculously affordable for what you get. The Zvezda PFM is available for the same price I paid for the Profipack Eduards with etch, masks, and lots of leftover bits for the spares box (yes, the Eduard KM-1 seat fits the Zvezda 'pit!). Bring em on, Eduard! Cheers, Andre Edited December 16, 2020 by Hook 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 My LHS had the similar reissue of the MiG-21MF "Fighter Bomber" - those new black boxes take some getting used to. Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake122 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 These black and gold boxed 're-releases' of their old MF boxings come with the old style decals or the new bad ones? Anyone knows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone knows? From their newsletter (2021-04): I think I should point out the difference here between a re-release and a re-stock. A re-stock for a certain item means that we have everything we need in the warehouse (including boxes, instructions, decals) and all it needs is to be packed. And packed they can be the moment we have the plastic. An item that is up for re-release means that we haven’t got the material to pack the kit (Such as boxes, etc.). In those cases, we revisit the instructions and decals, and update the box to our current standard. Then, we combine everything, print it all, and release it under the same catalog number. If there ends up being a more significant change to the kit, such as something to do with a scheme or the boxart, then we also change the catalog number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I’m going to bang the drum again for an Eduard Bis in 1/72!!!!!!! Why not? It would be relatively easy given the fact that a 1/48!was already released. Come on Eduard, read the market and respond How many of you out there agree?

Eric B. Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi, I am definitely with you. Hoping for a Mig-21Bis and why not SMT. The Eduard Mig-21 series are gems but my building projects are complete now for the MF, PF and PFM (and even FL combining boxes). I now have all the necessary boxes I need in my stash for the future. My next Eduard Mig-21 buys will be a new Mig-21 version only. Eric B. Hoping 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I - and all Fishbed lovers need (I think) - is a Bis (the most widely used type internationally) plus a Sparka to the same Design standard.

Martin PS: confirmed no plans at present for a Mustang in 1/72 Further to the above, Eduard has also now confirmed that all variants of the trainer will be included. To me that seems a tall order but let's see. I specifically quoted U/UA and UM and the answer was "of course". If so, my prayers will be answered once the "God's own" scale version is issued. I will be buying a few!!! Martin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG-Mech Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Sounds very good ! Thanks ! I have already got 11 (?) MF/PF/PFM, so more will come and will not be just one. I hope for some Combo and limited editions. There are also a lot of aftermmarket decals already available. Should be easy for everybody to find his/her favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
