RidgeRunner Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ah ha! . This is looking better than the recent RV. They still haven't got the spine right, though. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, it has the airbrake which is simply engraved on the RV. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I've been mislead again! Having looked again at the image above, the one containing the airbrake is also from a single-seater!

Silverkite Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Since in the past I failed to upload pics of both Bilek and RV Mig-21UM can you please point me out the problems related to both canopy and spines? Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 No problems. The issue is that KP have posted the wrong photos on their website. I have now ordered two PFMs but cancelled the two Mongols. The KP Mongol IS the RV kit. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Baptiste VERLHAC Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 It seems that the KP release is identical to the RV aircraft one.Unfortunatly the molding quality is worse than the Mig 21 one seater series and as bad as the Mirage III series. Moreover they forgot to mold the reinforcement at the rear left of the fuselage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ya-gabor Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Will look into the box at this weekend Plasticova Zima but dont think will spend even a penny on it. This is just an RV kit. Best regards Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya-gabor Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 The KP “new” two-seater MiG-21 UM was on sale in the morning till they run out of them. What is inside the box, no surprise it is the RV kit repack with all that this entails. Left it there, simply no point. Best regards Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ya-gabor Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 For me there is no point in wasting any time on it. There are different tastes and I am sure for some it is good and interesting. Good luck to them! Fortunately we are all different and make our own choices and there is no single and only truth in which we all have to believe!

No, Luciano, but dont think it is great because it isn't! The RV and the KP are the same moulds so that means otherwise you have to resort to old Bilek (not bad) or Eastern Express etc (awful). Come on Eduard, get the message!!!! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Thanks for the answer. And i agree about Eduard getting this one done (and much others in fact). I got 2 MIG-15 done from them and they are awesome kits. Got a MIG-21PF on the way to my home too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical limited run - a bit rough and crude, to be honest. A decent quality kit along the lines of Eduard's single seaters would be most welcome.

RidgeRunner Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi all, Is there any sign of this emerging soon? I see that there is a claim to being a new mould so I'm intrigued and dont want to re-start my RV until I've seen the new KP offering. Any ideas? Also, does anyone know the markngs that are intended for this new release? Thanks a million! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
