Thanks for that snippet OT.

I think I'll call a moratorium on buying Fujimi -21s until I see what Eduard are going to come up with. That said, I wonder how well they'll compare to the Fujimi kit? Old as they are, Fujimi's offering is still an excellent kit. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Eduard took a few pointers from it for they're 1/48th version. It'll be interesting to see.

Another one I'm waiting for is the promised Trumpeter 1/72nd Mig-19 as there is no decent modern kit of this aircraft. The only options are old kits by Heller and KP that both require a lot of work to bring them up to scratch.

I have to agree entirely Darryl. I am tacking my time with this build but the fit of the Fujimi kit was so good I would definitely consider doing one for a Blitzbau.

I have waited for that blasted Trumpeter Mig-19 so long now it has taken on almost mythological meaning. Like the Shangri La.
Every year its on the release list but it never appears. :evil:

Picked this up for $12.99, 1/48 F-16 AND Mig 21, so I'm going to try and complete the Mig in the 5 days left for this GB!
