Yet another one


Will be released next month. I couldn't find any image or info, this was the shot featured in the Eduard Info magazine which can be downloaded from the company's website.
I wanted to try their MiG-21s. I always liked the Finnish livery, but I'd be curious to see the other liveries. This will be my Christmas present!

My pleasure!
I found a blog on the Eduard website. There will be brand new sprues, including a dedicated dorsal fine and antennas. Looks like they didn't experience any trouble while injecting plastic in the mould.

I have a good amount of kits waiting to be finished or built and few spare time, but this is a must have to me!

Having gotten the prior 2 kits in the line, I have no doubt that the BiS will be up to the usual Eduard quality.

Heck the 2 pack 1/144 MFs that I just got are about the best 1/144 aircraft kits I have ever seen!

Seby, you're double posting. The links you have used aren't working, in fact they are empty and goes nowhere.

Beside, please read the PM I sent yesterday to you (see the top right corner).
