fingers Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Defo Mig 31, GWH Mig 29 is a little overrated imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many 31s lately ( very understandably ) so a nice 9-13 would be welcome! Which scheme? Antarki do a nice sheet with no so often build ones... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antarki do a nice sheet with no so often build ones... Why overrated? Because when I built mine I found, especially for a state of the art kit, that some fit was poor (mainly where the engine covers and fuselage meet underneath). Also the small 'aerials' on the wing and tailplane tips are very fragile and thus prone to breaking and should have been supplied as seperate pieces. The engines, to make the covers fit, had to be 'de-detailed' it would have been better to have simplified versions for a closed build which you know would fit. That's all I can remember at the moment it still makes a good model but, working from reviews, the AMK Mig 31 seems to be the dog's danglies and I covet one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 MiG-31, it's a beast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Yeah, baby - a real beast you are building! Oliver Edited October 29, 2016 by Aviano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudolf24 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The both kits are fantastic, but MiG-29 has got few problems with fit. But you know, 29 is beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'll say go with the -29, there have been lots of builds of the -31 recently, so it would be great to see WIP of the -29 just for a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 29 gets my vote, not seen it built yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Another vote for the MiG-29! I've got in the stash, and could use the inspiration... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 At the moment the MiG-29 is in pole position One of the reasons i prefer the Mig-29 (except of her beauty) is the huge and excellent Eduard PE parts i bought! Just amazing. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
