Pagey Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I brought this special kit as a way of become a member of the Eduard club . permanent 15% off their website and other deals. It has worked out cheaper to buy their products that way rather than buy from Hannants etc. After finishing my big Mosquito, the DAK halftrack and the Hunter, I fancied something different and the bunny fighter scheme looked like a fun project. I started this last sunday lunchtime and put the matt coat on yesterday. The kit came with a resin cockpit section (which amazingly fitted with no surgery or thinning made to the resin or fuselage). Resin wheels, resin jet pipe and exhaust, resin nose cone and air intake cover, resin exhaust cover and photo etch extras (and canopy/wheel masks). The kit was certainly a bargain. Mig-21 purists might not be happy with the bunny fighter Scheme, but I found it a fun project and a nice change to not worrying that the paint colour chosen is the correct shade. The kit was lovely to build and the decals were fun. I particularly liked the bunny skull decals under the cockpit and the orange/green combo on the stores to make them look like carrots. 32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you Google Eduard bunny fighter club you should find it. I don't think they do the 1/48 kit in this scheme though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 They used to when it first came out. I passed up the chance to get it years ago in 48th but that's cool I can possibly get decals I'd love the Trumpeter 32nd Mig with decals for this. I read a long time ago probably around the time this came out that it was a real scheme in fact I know it is as I have seen photo's of the real one. I believe it was used over Burkina Faso used by mercenary pilots for political assassinations and all the rest that goes on with a conflict. That's about as far ad my knowledge on this goes though.

franky boy Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Great work As said above I wish I’d bought the 1/48 scale version of this kit when it was available. Maybe they’ll re release it? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I, like you, joined the Bunny Fighter Club to get the discounts. At the time, Eduard did offer the 1/48 kit. This build very much tempts me to break it out and actually build it. I, however, do not think I will be able to give it the finish and look of your completed 1/72 kit. Great job!! Looks like there might be some carrots in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
