Photo Review: Trumpeter's 48th Scale MiG-21MF

[Sharkmouth]

Feeling burned... at least my son can have this one for the Eduard Bunny Fighter markings:

Some comparison photos will explain my disillusionment.

Hi Saul, what was wrong with the kit, or are you posting more pics in a bit?

First, I need to replace those blurry photos, then post come comparisons to Academy and Eduard. Nice moldings, simple parts counts, some really stupid choices in assembly and bogus ordnance load suggestions, paint, and so on. Imagine, plastic nose wheel and vinyl main wheels which look like glorified 'O' rings.

Sad,

Okay, gotcha.

The Eduard kit is going to be hard to beat....

Sounds like another dud for research by Trumpy then

I'd say that's pretty weak. It will make a nice Bunny Fighter, though!
