Just over from Armorama. I got a guy who has seen my work and wanted me to build a Mig 19! Making no promise, I agreed to try.
I've been searching for a kit but was hoping some of you would point me in the right direction. Any pointers out there?

Trumpeter has one in 1/32 and one in 1/48 both are reported as good kits. This assumes you want a larger one, several companies made them in 1/72.

In 1/32 scale you have Trumpeter and the older Revell kits. Both are work to make real accurate. In 1/48 scale should be Tamiya,Hase,Frog?,DML?,Trump? Should be a few of them at least.
Cheers for Commission Work!!
