GVINCENT Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hello all, I was browsing eBay and came across this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-32-scale-MIG-29-Fulcan-aircraft-ACE-model-kit-/121448549197?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item1c46e5cb4d 1/32 MiG Fulcrum by ACE. Does anyone know if this is a new kit or copy of Revell or Trumpeter's? Thanks for any input regarding this! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I can take a good guess that it's Revell rebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Could have added in the old CAM pit for the Revell kit. That's the only thing I can think of. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's in the database here, but many unanswered questions regarding the origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hi, This is the old Revell dog... ACE also re-boxed other old revell USA kits such as the F-16, the F-16XL, the F-5E and possibly one or two other kits such as the Apache helicopter. I'm not sure there was a license agreement between both companies. I'd not be surprised to know that they are unauthorized copies as the only one I saw had a molding quality far under the original Revell one. Kangnam did the same and personally I only got one of such kits for a Belcher bits-based F-5A as this only required some parts of the original F-5E kit. So, my advice is: stay away!

eaglekeeper Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ace is a Korean company, what they do is purchase the surpluses kits produced by the moldings house and put it in their packaging. If you are in Korea you will find numerous of other companies kits, Tamiya, Revell , hobbycraft, nichimo, Monogram, etc... There is not copyright laws that controls this there so even the instruction are blatantly copied and thrown in the box for good measure, all they do is photo copy the sheet with their logos pasted over the original logos. Check the end of the box and the number is the price in wan, same goes with Japanese kits for the in country price check the end of the box ...
