Uncle Dick Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Interesting image of what appears to be a Ukraine Air Force Mig-29, with 3 kill markings, the kill markings curiously though are in the form of the Ukraine national marking presumably depicting 3 Russian aircraft shot down, if you look at the drawing/art work being held up next to the jet the artwork depicts Ukraine AF Mig-29 Bort 45 shooting down a Russian Su 27/30/35 series jet. Obvious reference to the mythical or real "Ghost of Kyiv" with the Ghost artwork on the nose of the jet in the photo - let's hope more information is released in future! Above image via https://twitter.com/StefanKnippsch3/status/1514678374194688000 Mister Craft version depicting Bort 57 which was released recently ... no ghost or kill marking decals in this kit though 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertone139 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Mistercraft normally reboxes mediocre kits with nice decals and awesome box art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757flyer Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Per Scalemates, that should be based on the Zvezda kit... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mistercraft-d-110-mig-29-9-13-ghost-kyiv--1409230 And that Ghost nose art is great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not the recent and pretty good Zvezda kit but the old kit that Zvezda used to sell earlier, that was itself a rebox of something made by a company named Nakotne. It is something that sure will not be mistaken for a Spitfire and when built most will say it's a MiG-29, however it is a very crude and inaccurate representation of the real aircraft. Ah, no point in being polite... that kit is rubbish, no matter how much plastic was used to make it, it would have been better used for almost anything else. At lest these kits are cheap, very cheap, I've seen them sold for a fiver. If the decals included are decent it may be worh getting one and use the decals, then donate the kit to a kid who wants to play with glue and paint and doesn't care about the quality of the plastic. Decals in this box include the digital camo. Quality of Mistercraft decals can vary from not too bad to rubbish, but for less than £6 (Polish price) I guess it may be worth the risk Edited April 22, 2022 by Giorgio N 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspirational post there, I've just ordered a kit, paint and masks to do this. Regardless of the mythology involved, the sentiment is what drives us in these circumstances. Look forward to making this happen in 1/32 as soon as all the bits arrive 🇺🇦 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG-Mech Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Here is a pic of Mistercraft's decal sheet. I did not check if it's correct. But I saw other sheets from them, which are not. https://www.1-72depot.com/de/1-72-scale-plastic-model-kits/military-aircraft/mistercraft-d-110-mig-29-9-13-ghost-of-kyiv/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niggles, minor niggles, I know... Cheers, Andre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
