Yeah, I just read the topic on LSP after I google "1/32 Mig-31". Trumpeter never ceases to surprise me. Once again, apologies for this false alarm.

My sincere apologies guys, it appears that this was a mistake on Trumeter's webpage. Damn and for a second I was even excited about correcting LERX, landing gear, spine profile etc.

Release time:2019-02-28

Some more work, the inner well is almost done. Still needs bunch filling and sanding, brake lines, pressure cylinders , only the visible detail. I painted in order to see the uglies From the pictures above is visible how sharp edged is the nacelle profile. The kit's one is too rounded. Not a biggie, although I will direct same attention towards the fuel dumps that are heavily undersized.

Now that's just a Marine talk Looking really busy Ernie, keep them coming. Big project like this one makes me feel really inferior . Too many engines, props, windows and even more squirrels out there Cheers M.

Thank You Rob, you know those British guys , everything has to be catalogued Thank you Danny, I like this build , makes me feel young again LOL Thank You Gaz, slowly but surely. Some more work on the gear bay structure, it takes lots of research, since I can't trust drawings. The base material is coming from mk.X , close enough. As I said before, I am not going to chase crazy detail as long as it looks like Beaufighter.

Mail lady delivered this little package from Toronto. Thank You Carl !!! If you following my famous " Beaufighter thread ", you already know that I used spare parts from Tamiya Mosquito, however I messed up one wheel and Carl immediately pitched in , sending a set of rims from his own otherwise untouched Mosquito. Thank You again Buddy. Awesome juice!

No hijacking at all, I renamed that topic to CAR THREAD so every gear head and car enthusiast can pitch in.

Cossack tradition ! ( I am against violence, especially against women. However if you remember this attempt of so-call " Pussy riot" in Sochi, well.... it didn't last long)

I don't want to sound overly negative , but It is not just the shape of the fuselage, there are issues with radiator housings, propeller blades, cowling and the gear legs. I started the build and toss it after decent amount of work invested for a simple reason, Dragon came out with it's model.

fantastic work.

Thank you for your continuous support guys. After a small break from models, I had a chance to clean up the nose section and to start some preliminary work on the wheel bays. The width is slightly narrower than the real thing so I could anchor the legs into it's original location holes.

Jeroen , you have a special gift to transfer reality into scale down 3D picture . You weathering and surface finishes are tasteful and believable. Not many can do so.

John, you make it look so easy looking great !

Ha ha ha, nice one :).... sloth you say ?

Harvey , AML just released your radar

Dragon is a pretty god kit, way superior to the Eduard's offering. Having said that Eduard could be a great candidate for the AlleyCAt D1 conversion . And as Smitty said it is readily available on eBay . Needless to say, AML makes sweet little conversion set for a night fighter version

I would expect Revell to re-box Dragon as it is in the case of 110.
