very nice subjects. I made researches abd corrections on MiG-23 kits a lot of years ago, but it's an obsolete work now. However, I hope that some plastic manufacturer will reproduce these important planes in a decent way, resin kits are expensive for me.

Kind of expensive; maybe the price will drop by the time the kits are actually produced.
Also among the future releases (finally!) is the Valom 1/72 late Yak-7B (the "bubble canopy" version). I want this one! ;) John Title: Re: New 1/72 MiG-23 and MiG-27 Kits Post by: JP on October 29, 2009, 10:24:03 PM These look really nice. I wonder if they need a good review? ;)
I was thinking a lot lately how the modeling industry has almost totally overlooked the whole Cold War era regarding Russian military aircraft. How can it be in 2009 that there still is NO good 1/48 kit of a MiG-23/27, MiG-25/31, etc. (And not many good 1/72, either.) There are some kits here and there, but almost all of them are inaccurate and poor builds, requiring significant "reconstruction" to look right. I'd trade Hasegawa Bf109 kits for a solid, well-executed MiG-31. Maybe Trumpeter will do one, since they like the larger scales.

Yes it looks similar to Zvezda but it cost 3 times more than Zvezda/Italeri kits:( BR Svetozar Title: Re: New 1/72 MiG-23 and MiG-27 Kits Post by: Walker on November 25, 2010, 02:13:11 PM Hello, Sveto! Unfortunately you are right.

here is a comparison between RV resin and Zvezda kits shoing the main pieces.
