Jirka Bures Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Yesterday on E-Day Mr. Šulc informed about the upcoming 1/48th scale model of MiG-15. The date has not yet been announced. He also added that if they are going to produce MiG-15, then they will add MiG-17 as well. 11 2 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Thanks. Hoping they will do a 1:48 MiG-15UTI at some stage. Would also love a Profipak MiG-17F or two. Any news about the 1:48 MiG-21F-13 ? Tony 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony happy they're mentioning again the MIG-15, hope it will see the steel of the mold, alongside the almost forgotten S/CS-199 and Blanik in the same scale... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masinissa Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 MiG-17? Really? That would be nice because the Ammo by MiG 1/48 MiG-17 kit is hard to find at a decent price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Bures Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 I hope Mr Šulc wasn't joking when he said that on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted Monday at 10:14 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:14 AM On the other hand I wouldn't expect their MiG-17s sooner than 2026 or even 2027. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted Monday at 03:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:43 PM (edited) Downscaled 1/72 MiG-17 could be a bestseller especially if they manage to produce complex wing correctly. If they make 1/72 MiG-17 - I'm clearly in the game. Edited Monday at 03:44 PM by Dennis_C 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jirka Bures Posted Tuesday at 11:42 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 11:42 AM First things first. The MiG-15 is a sure thing. MiG-17 is highly probable. Everything else does not belong in this thread, although I'm sure many of us wish it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycapt65 Posted Tuesday at 01:36 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:36 PM (edited) I'm in for one 15 and 17. I need them as famous counter parts to my future saber and phantom builds. Check that. Doesn't Tamiya make a Mig 15? Unless there's something majorly wrong with it. The Tamiya might be a better fit for my standards. It'll likely be cheaper and easier to build. The Mig 17 will be most welcome. Edited Tuesday at 01:44 PM by Mycapt65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cockpit is fairly basic as well, it builds nice, but is certainly showing its age. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built then Tamiya kit a couple of years ago because I had two in the stash and didn't bother correcting the sweep. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tamiya's sweep angle is smaller than 35° I think I see that from the photo. Are stabilisers okay in Tamiya kit? On the photo they look like they are correct at 40° but of course plan view would work better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted Wednesday at 08:35 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:35 AM The Trumpeter 1/48 Mig 15 kit is a horror to make due to the general poor fit of parts, the make up of the fuselage (especially around the nose and gun pack), the wings are a very poor fit, the fin sweep angle is incorrect and I believe the elevators are wrong too (apart from that it's still a dog lol).

Dick That's not an issue for me now that I know the geometry is wrong. I'm sure for those that want a Tamiya Mig 15, they'll suddenly appear at reasonable prices on auction sites once Eduard releases theirs. For some strange reason the auction prices on Tamiya P-51Bs and Corsairs dropped recently 😊. Lucky me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycapt65 Posted Wednesday at 11:57 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:57 AM What I'll be interested to see is how Eduard handles the wing fences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_C Posted Wednesday at 02:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:32 PM In 1/72 these are just molded as part of the wing. Was there any trouble with the approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted Wednesday at 05:31 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:31 PM I fully appreciate an Eduard approach on these topics, but what us the issues , if at all with the newest MiG-15 from Bronco / Hobby2000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatlandFox Posted Wednesday at 07:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:07 PM The Bronco kit is flawed at the wing root. Not a minor defect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
