MIG-31 BM

Very brilliant build! How was the strength of Sio's 3D printed landing gear legs?

Simon Nagorsnik
Fantastic!

alessandro magrelli
Thanks guys. @zhou the strength is ok. The problem is removing the parts from the print structure, a nightmare. The option of the external cannon was available but during the cutting process it came apart, unfortunately. The biggest issue in this kit was the wrong decals and stencil provided (B version)... Unbelievable. So I had to buy an extra Begemot decals sheet...

Michael Kohl
Top build

In spite of the problems you had with the kit: top result!

alessandro magrelli
Thanks.
Don't get me wrong, the kit is really top quality overall. ☺️

Смотрится отлично 👍...каким способом наносили герметик на стекла?

alessandro magrelli
For transparent I use the "ultra glue" for transparent by Ammo. The exterior part of the canopies is fully transparent (then painted accordingly), internally you apply the structure which is normal plastic

Beautiful finished！Nice and clean!👍

Я имел ввиду герметик розового цвета...кистью или из аэрографа?

alessandro magrelli
Ah ok, those are decals. A nightmare to fix them.

Николай Романов
У меня такой же набор лежит в коробке...думаю чем этот герметик нарисовать, что бы аккуратно получилось

Spanjaard

Hi Alessandro,

How was the printed exhaust nuzzles? any issue?
I don't know if I should get this kit or get the AMK + Katran's exhaust nozzles

Thanks mate

alessandro magrelli
Hi Ray, no problem with the nozzles, as far as I recall. Cannon and gears are a nightmare to detach from their frame.
Be careful, the decals are totally wrong for the BM/BSM version.

Ray
Hi mate,
That's horrible you had to pay extra for the correct decals. I get the seller to check them for me.
Honestly, I have no faith in any of the none-Japanese manufacturers and their customer support is non-existent.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the community

alessandro magrelli
Don't misunderstand me, the kit is TOP quality, go for it, they probably "forgot" to replace the decals of the B/BS version. Yes, it's a shame but buying the Begemot decals is really worth it.
