I have a soft spot for the old KP MiG 19. It was a test bed for me in metal foiling. It ended up looking good. Very low on details, no wheel wells to speak of, and the cockpit was an almost empty cavity. Still, it looked sharp in the foil. But yeah - this kit is much better. Kudos to KP for the new tooling.
Oh, spot the early Sidewinders? No, KP didn't make a mistake. The Pakistani Air Force MiG 19's carried two AIM-2B's. Nice touch, KP!!
