Under "our Czech" friends I was expecting to see some comments from Czech modellers who had the chance to buy the new version last weekend. Best regards Gabor I am very curious to see the actual plastic my self!! Are those differences on that Eduard post accurate for the most part?

Hook Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 On 6/18/2018 at 8:01 PM, ya-gabor said: No. If you have a centre line external fuel tank fitted then the rear air brake is blocked. But you will have millions of photos where museum aircraft are standing with fuel tank and the airbrake "drops" onto the tank. So . . . In real life (what I have seen on operational aircraft) the front airbrakes sag a little, where they are not perfectly in line with the fuselage surface. This is perfectly illustrated on the kit, but only on the rear air brake which is shown standing a "bit" clear of the surface. The same should be with the front brakes too. Best regards Gabor Thanks! I've added a third kit to my stash after fondling the first two. Yes, I am weak. I have also started a Fujimi bis in the meantime to get in the MiG-21 mood.

Ryan Hothersall Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 R3R missiles in 1:72 are hard to get. Only seen them in weapon sets from Dragon and ICM and in an obscure MiG-21SMT kit from a Russian company, MIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R0017) captures MiG-21 MF with serial number 1019. It was deployed to Syria with No. 11 Squadron towards to the Yom Kippur war. According to Arabian sources (uncomfirmed from Israeli part), the aircraft flown by Namiq Saadallah claimed a Mirage III. kill, apparently on October 23 1973. Seven years later, on 8 September 1980, 1st Lt Sadik was certif…ied with a kill against an Iranian F4-E Phantom. The R-13M missile was used. The poster in A3 size is a part of the kit, it will not be available separately. https://www.eduard.com/store/aircraft-and-helicopters/1-72/mig-21mf-1-72-1.html V.P.

There is no such thing as a Czech version of MiG-21MF (not counting in the MiG-21MFN, which was an upgrade carried out on 10 Gorky produced MFs in 1999/2000). The current Profipack (Interceptor) is a machine built in Gorky. Royal Class edition contains one set of sprues for each of both Gorky and Moscow (Znamya Truda) produced MFs. Znamya Truda MF Profipack will be released sometime during autumn, and will be labeled as Fighter-Bomber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may now have another look to see what I can now find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard a year ago? asked people to spot differences between the 6 or so pictures they posted at their Facebook page, I think that my answers with images are still on their page and I've probably nailed them all but god no candy whatsoever. Differences were In canopy area -> mirror fairing Below the right corner on canopy's left side -> something was moved and I think a light or some sort of connector was added Wing area -> extra riveting and oval shaped strip Engine area -> exhaust shroud dent was different Vertical stabilizer area -> left or right panel had a different size and position Midst-upper left fuselage area -> another panel used for machine gun had a different shape MLG area -> fuselage fairing had different shape Left-lower mid fuselage area -> another panel was different Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale85 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I bought immediatly the "normal" kit and the royal class package and i really love this kit.
