Homebee Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Eduard has just announced 1/48th Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23MF "Flogger-B" & MiG-3ML "Flogger-G" in Czechoslovak service. New tool? That's the question. Frankly I hardly imagine Eduard reboxing the Trumpeter's MiG-23 kits. But who knows. If they're new tool and from the same barrel as their 1/48th MiG-21 "Fishbed" Source: https://scontent.fbru2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/22382055_1823842124297393_5421894630712582162_o.png?oh=3b46bbc2e5e4abf84b990a1a4b7b5aba&oe=5A403F00 Quote MiG-23MF/ML in Czechoslovak service 1/48 MiG-23MF/ML v čs. službách 1/48 V.P.

Uncle Uncool Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Monsieur Laurent! Howdy, my bru? Y'know I don't think I'd like how the Trumpy MiG-23BN kit look even with Cold War Studio's awesome correction set. Just don't dig that version at all.

Pretty good thanks Y'know I don't think I'd like how the Trumpy MiG-23BN kit look even with Cold War Studio's awesome correction set. Just don't dig that version at all. I can understand that. The 23BN has a short skinny nose. I prefer the 27 and the K in particular.

exdraken Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 not much of a fan of their extravagant post communism schemes, but for standard liveries I'd be in! especially ML.... 1
Uncle Uncool Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Uh-huh... I'm quite with mate Werner on this one, too; hold those gaudy Czechoslovakian schemes, but MLs are so sexy in their standard Czech schemes!
Albeback52 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Speaking as a fully paid up member of the "That looks fine to me" Club, I'll have two of these! I love those schemes! Cannot afford the 1/32 versions and their associated aftermarket decals but, these'll do nicely! Allan

exdraken Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Decals look rather complete! Rest not so much.... where sre the breassin nozzles or Aphids or wheels?? Engine intakes anyone? Edited August 17, 2018 by exdraken 1

Engine intakes anyone? They'll probably offer them separately with time. Hopefully, they'll make an intakes set as well. They could have added more non-Czechoslovakian options, though (e.g. Iraq, Syria, etc.) as I doubt they'll release more boxings. Edited August 17, 2018 by Dudikoff

Hi, most of the sets mentioned already exist anyways....intakes not afaik. I assume this boxing is tailored to the Czech market....as previouse MiG-21MF and Mi-35 boxings were as well.... 1

Yeah, you're right, I wasn't following it much as I bought the 1/32 MLD one first so I'm trying to scrap the sets for that one. I still hope they do an intake set then, just to have more options as I'd probably like to do a 1/48 M or an export MF, too and 1/32 is quite big and the detail sets are expensive. 1

exdraken Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Great head-on artwork!! Looking especially forward to the book and decals! Edited September 13, 2018 by exdraken
ya-gabor Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Sad that no mention is made (in Eduards INFO or on their site) of the books author Martin Janusek (he did the books for the MiG-21 box sets). Only a single image of the books cover was posted by Eduard where his name is visible in minute letters. I know that he has put in a hell of a lot of work into this book and the content is superb. As it has been said before Edu is not doing correction sets just detail sets and they did not care too much for the fundamental mistakes of the original kit. It would have been a good chance to have corrections (Edu has the technology and knowledge) and for the modellers to be able to build a close to perfect version of the MF. An opportunity lost once again. And yes, the boxing is customized for the Czech market. Best regards Gabor Edited September 13, 2018 by ya-gabor 2 1
