Info Eduard - November 2012
EDITORIAL
So, who’s still wondering what’s new with the
MiG-15? It is an active project, after all. Since
we ended up taking a giant leap for mankind
backwards, we decided why not re-measure
the real deal one more time, as long as we’re
starting from square one. We found no fatal
aws, and we found one error. The nose should
be of a slightly larger diameter, by about
0.8mm. Not much, but a little thin it is. On the
other hand, we were able to conrm that the
tail is virtually bang on, in shape as well as in
angles relative to the centreline. Likewise, span
and shape of the horizontal tail are correct. The
tail area has always been a point of debate,
and our suspicions of the problems with most
published and well known drawings have been
conrmed as well. But this was not news to us; we
did this before. It’s the one thing that suspended
the project the rst time, and we have now been
able to check and double check this part of the
project to conrm beyond any doubt. When it
comes to the shape, our research is intense. We
have a new fuselage, and a revamped and
narrower nose. We also took this opportunity
to revamp the parts make-up. We decided on
a different concept of the front end assembly.
We are certain that the end result will be
considerably more realistic. The only thing that
will carry over to the new wings will be their
shape. There will be new wheel wells, more
detailed and accurate, and the gears will accept
new Brassin wheels. There will also be a new
exhaust pipe. Pipes, actually, as it appears that
we will cover the MiG-15 and -15bis separately.
Updating will also nd its way into the front wheel
well and cockpit, which will include a new Brassin
seat. There will be the Brassin seat, but it should
be noted that the plastic one will be the plastic
equivalent of the resin one. And to show off the
cockpit, we will redo the clear parts, allowing for
an open cockpit. But this will all understandably
take a bit of time. This will not be available
this November, rather obviously, but should be
ready by late next summer. Call me an optimist!
If it works out that way, this would be a good
item for the next E-day. Originally, I wanted the
centrepiece of the event to be the Avia B.534,
but that can wait. But, who knows...maybe both
will be possible. Setbacks tell us to be cautious,
but we have become quite good at new model
development in recent times. Maybe the need to
redo the MiG is a benecial thing to the overall
process. As you know, something good can be
extracted from such setbacks. And in case you’re
wondering, the two seat UTI MiG-15 will follow.
So, what do we have for November, if no MiG-
15? Another Limited Edition 48th scale Lightning.
Ofcially, this offering is dubbed ‘Early Lightnings
- P-38F/G/H’, and is the second of three repops
of the original Academy kit. There was nothing
left of the rst issue, ‘P-38J Over Europe’ but a
cloud dust, and this one is likely to follow suit. The
concept is the same, although the resin parts are,
of course, different, and are version specic. The
t should be marginally better with this release.
There was a minor issue with the -J, in that the
instrument panel t was a little grumpy which has
been addressed in this issue. The decals are once
again printed by Cartograf, designed by us. The
usual research and choosing procedure for a
good marking selection were used here. The kit
is available now, and is ying off the shelves at
blinding speed.
There are two Limited Edition kits on offer
this month. This is unprecedented, but that came
about with the unprecedented collapse of the
MiG-15 project. The other Limited issue kit is the
1/4 scale kit of the Bf 110 instrument panel. The
original issue of this kit did the dust thing, too.
There are a few small changes with this edition,
though. The instrument faces are not printed on
foil, but are now offered as a decal. We also
corrected some small grammatical mistakes. I’ll
tell ‘ya....German is not an easy language!
In the photoetched brass offered this month,
we have a set called ‘P-38 Upgrade’, which is
designed to t all three Limited Issue kits of the
P-38. It contains useful items that did not nd
their way into the kits, and truth be told, I don’t
expect these to be held in storage much longer
after the kits have sold out. There are other
points of interest among the brass sets, such as
one for the 1/144th scale Spitre MK.IX. I must
admit that I had serious reservations about doing
an etched set for such a small kit, but I have been
pleasantly surprised. My personal favorites are
the sets designed for the 1/72nd scale B-17F,
but for someone else, it could easily be the 48th
scale Lynx. We were on the fence for some time
about doing sets for the Lynx, but here they are.
