Dudikoff Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Oh, yes! I so wanted to have the 9.31 (together with other Soviet Union/Cold War could have beens), but since I already have the 1/32 9.15, I'd never find the space and time for another MiG-29 in 1/32. This solves the problem for me! I guess they'll release the 9.15 in 1/48 as well so I might be tempted to get rid of the 1/32 kit and go for the more space friendly one.

Muzz Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Was it Trumpeter or Hobby Boss who announced the Mig-35? I assume this is a separate new release, great news.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Tempted if it has a folded wing option: I am a fool for subjects with dark grey uppers, a hook and folded wings. Would be nice to see this in 1/32 too if they manage a proper wing fold, but 1/48 is becoming the only affordable scale for many. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has the wing fold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 1 hour ago, Dudikoff said: The 1/32 variant from Trumpeter has been available for like 15 years? And it has the wing fold. But the current 1/32 kits are based on the single seater airframe (MiG-29M) which never went into production. All current in-service variants are based on the unified two-seater airframe (MiG-29M2). That means regardless if the machine is built as a single or double seater, it always features the two-seater canopy and the only difference is how the rear cockpit is configured (pilot workplace or 400l fuel tank). The HB kit will be the first one in any scale representing an in-service airframe based on the unified two-seater. Cheers Markus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it being a prototype from the 1990s not a current MiG-29K/KR as Shorty84 has explained, the Trumpeter wing-fold is a working toy mechanism, not a proper representation of the real thing to be assembled closed or open. It is surprising that no afterrmarket company bothered to step in to address this. So, 1/48 here we come (again). Will sit nicely next to a Su-33. Now just need the Su-25UTG/UPB.

Dudikoff Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Hmm, my reply was based on Homebee's title specifically mentioning 9.31, like so: "Expected in late October in China, Hobby Boss is to release a 1/48th Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29K Izdeliye 9.31 " Fulcrum-D" kit - ref. 81786". Though, I guess the photo does make it look like the later Russian development one with a protruding common single/dual seat canopy (which IMHO is ugly and I have no interest of) and the HB page doesn't mention 9.31 so I guess you're right. All apologies. Edited August 22, 2023 by Dudikoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Indian decals will be included! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
