Touvdal Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Got started on this one a rather new model from KP, fit is ok, but wing fit looks a bit suspect, but we will see. Cheers Jes Edited April 28, 2021 by Touvdal 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Great choice, big fan of the Mig-19/F-6, a very under rated aircraft.

John Masters Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 With so many Mig-19 kits currently being released it is great to see them being built. This one is looking very fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touvdal Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Have been attaching a lot of small inlets and scoops on the fulage, quit a task as the instruction are not very clear, also discovered that according to instuction there has to be two nose mounted canons, but looking Egypt AF F-6, they had none so have covered them. So much for KP Models research 🤥. Cheers Jes 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Looks very nice! I am not sure about the camo in 1967 though. Maybe later models, especially the Chinese derivatives (F-6) carried also your scheme, not only the grey over grey as o the photo! If you have any photos in this scheme I would be very interested though! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have to been going with the instruction given by the kit manufacturer. But as i read what you are saying, you have some references regarding the camo and year, so please put them forward.

Cheers Jes Hi, thanks for considering my comment! problem here is that a lack of evidence is not a proof of anything... so just that you or me does not have any photos of camoflaged MiG-19s in Egypt in 1967 does not mean they were not camouflaged... especially for the Arab countries documentation is largely missing. If you are interested in more details I recommend you the Arab MiGs Series of books by Harpia publishing e.g. the volume aboout the 1967 war: https://www.harpia-publishing.com/hapbook/19 The MiG-19 where as far as I know in Aluminium / natural metal in 1967. Camuflages like your are typical for the MiG-17F though later on. generally I would like to add that in 1967 only original Soviet MiG-19s were used in Egypt the Chinese derivative F-6 came much later http://www.easternorbat.com/html/egyptian_shenyang_f-6_eng.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
