Vultures1 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 OK, that's interesting. I suppose it was inevitable ... given that I have recently beaten the Mistercraft effort into something resembling a MiG-19!! Looking forward to seeing more about this in due course because the MiG-19 is a Cold War classic, overlooked for too long (IMHO). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPL Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Built a couple of the original ones back in the late 1970s early 1980s. Loved that kit, although it was by today's standards quite awful. It is fantastic appealing airplane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 About time too! Hopefully it will contain the parabrake housing so we can make a Shenyang F-6! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) What's happened!?! Homebee's post is already 12 hours old and nobody has criticised the shape of a single component, depth of the panel lines, or moaned about it being the wrong scale/sub-type/subject yet! Are we all as pleased to see this one as I am? Edited November 27, 2018 by Col. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcop Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I just hope it's going to be any better than their last release… the Aero L-159A ALCA that is a real cr@p !. You don't even get wheelbays ! and I won't talk about the cockpit! FROG did better in the 60s ! 😡 I think they will just "rework" the Bilek kit !

ya-gabor Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 It is fascinating to read all the flak that KP is getting on Czech forums for this "new" kit on its home ground. Best regards Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we all as pleased to see this one as I am? Oh hang on... -That's not my scale -If only Airfix had done it -Why couldn't they have made - xxx - (insert totally unrelated subject) -When will Airfix release - xxx - (insert Spitfire related subject) -I'll hang on until they rescale it up to 1/48 but hopefully Airfix will do it instead -That's too expensive -Just trying to find a blurred photo of a real MiG-19 so I can show how the kits pitot probe is too long, therefore I will NOT buy this kit..... But well done KP for finally giving some attention to this aircraft Jeff 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky coffeeboat Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I think if you go to the KP Aero L-159 thread on this section, have a look at what they're offering, I think it'll be pretty obvious what the Czech forums are laughing at...

upnorth Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I hate to say, but I'm losing a lot of faith in AZ/KP these days. I bought their 1/72 Z-37 kit not long after it hit the shelves. After my initial excitement wore off, I noticed how crude and rushed it looked and how many key features had been left to the aftermarket and scratchbuilders to tend to. Not long after came the announcement that Eduard would be puting out their own 1/72 Z-37 kit. I learned after talking to one of the guys at one of my local shops, AZ got the fuselage shapes wrong and will be doing a corrected reissue at some point. I knew The ALCA kits were getting a lot of flak on the Czech sites. After having looked at them in the shop, all that flak and more are well deserved. I can't believe after as long as they strung us along about an ALCA kit that they could hose it so badly. Really no excuse for that sort of thing when the real deal and those who made it sit inside the same national borders as you do.
