Homebee Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Bronco Models has just released a new tool 1/48th MiG-15bis "Fagot-B" - PLAAF Korean War - kit - ref. FB4014 This first limited boxing - edited for The Military Museum of The Chinese People’s Revolution at Bejing in the framework of an exhibition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ mission in Korea - is reported to be followed soon by mass market boxing. Source: http://www.moxingfans.com/new/news/2020/1026/8347.html And the true object as on display in the Museum. A detail of importance it's not a MiG-15bis (as proposed by the kit) but rather a early MiG-15 with RD-45 engine, small tail, small airbrakes . . .

Yes the way the plastic is right there but they have kept it covered up just makes me think it's someone else's plastic and they are just trying to create a buzz around it before they show the plastic, but hopefully I'm wrong as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The kit is only being sold at The Military Museum of The Chinese People’s Revolution currently, as a collaboration products with the museum, but there is rumor that Bronco version will also be sold later as the normal edition. Cannot find sprue pics(saw them somewhere but cannot remember) currently but quite sure they will be exposed online very soon. This kit seems to be currently only proposed for sale in the framework of the new exhibition from The Military Museum of The Chinese People’s Revolution, opened on October 19th, 2020 and commemorating "the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ mission to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea". http://www.jb.mil.cn/zxdt/202010/t20201020_47769.html V.P.

exdraken Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Scaled up version of the Eduard kit sounds good in principle Still wonder why Eduard did not do that themselves.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Because they were too slow and someones beat them to it, a lot of people had been asking for it. Wonder if they give Eduard a cut if it's a direct copy, oh hang on it's China 😉 silly me 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stalal Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Knowing Bronco and their inclination towards putting in a lot of details, it looks like this is going to be a very good kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davmarx Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 IMHO it's the Trumpeter kit with a few upgrades like the previous Bronco J-10S "Vigorous Dragon". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry davmarx but you're wrong there's definitely no connection between the 1/48th Bronco Models and Trumpeter J-10S kits. Have a close look at the sprues: Bronco Models - http://www.moxing.net/2010/0818/1584.html Trumpeter - http://www.modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=8226 V.P.

Homebee Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) A first picture from what looks like the model on display nearby the pile of boxes for sale at The Military Museum of The Chinese People’s Revolution shop. Local price: 114 CNY or about 13.00 GBP. Seen in ARC forum but without source nor credit. https://ibb.co/ZzqJMw2 V.P.

It's my opinion, possibly wrong, but if I remove all the location pins the two "different" kits fits perfectly together... I know there are some differences like the layout on the sprues, panel lines, opened airbrakers and so on, a sign of a complete retooling of the kit, but the original 3D drawings are the same. I bet that the MiG-15 has followed the same way, new tooled moulds but based on previous 3D. My apologise if I am wrong. P.S. Please, forgive my bad English...

redcap Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nice but a 1/32 all new tool kit of the MIG-15 would have been much more welcome with me. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
