alaninaustria Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Quick question for those in the know - I have the 1/32 Trump Mig-23 MF Flogger B kit. Can I easily use the HpH conversion to accurately create a Mig-27 Flogger (Ground attack version)... Thanks for your input! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Well, Alan, I can simply say no! The 23BN and the early MiG-27 indeed shared the same nose. This is the easy part. But they have different air intakes. This means modifying seriously the Hph intake support sections on the nose parts (have a look at my post about the armor plates) and recreating intakes without the supersonic splitter plates. Moreover, no Trumpeter kit gives the fat belly of the 27 with the heavier LG. Only LEM released the 27 but this is the M version and the nose has a serious shape problem. Currently, there is no easy way to build a 27 if you want somewhat that looks reasonably accurate. I'm currently making an early 27 with the LEM fuselage, the Hph nose, modified Aires sets, the Profimodeller set for the front LG and the Trumpeter tanks. However, there is not one part that does not ask for heavy changes and scratchbuilding is a noticeable part of the equation... ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Jennings, I can have a look tomorrow at my files. I saved hundreds of pictures of such planes. So, I have probably what you need. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Jennings, This may already been useful. I checked the drawing and it looks very accurate. https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1074183 http://www.jbg37.de/html/kabine.html Hth Thierry Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks for the info guys. Had a read through the whole thread, cleared a few questions up. I do hope we get to see a new 1/32 scale dedicated Mig-27 one day! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Other way around, Jennings. Make sure your clear film is ok for laser printers. I have run several sheets of film through my Canon color laser. You are right, though not pretty when it melts inside the printer. We had that happen at the office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit steep, as the postage is almost as much as the kit. I ordered one on April 7th and haven't heard or received anything from HPH. I got the paypal notification. Did you get a shipping notice or anything form HPH? I am not sure if it is held up by the virus or if something went wrong. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things in the Czech Republic are pretty well shut down. On the other hand, Eduard has a big sale from 05-05 to 09-05 to commemorate 75 years of Liberty. So not all of CZ is shut down. But it is of course always a possibility that a couple of employees are sick at home so the process is slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have heard nothing from them and their site doesn't seem to have a log in where you can check on your order. the only thing I have is my Paypal receipt dated April 8th. I am going to email them and if they don't respond I will request a refund from Paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32scalelover Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Of course I gave them 3 days to respond to my emails about my order status with out hearing anything. Filed a claim with Paypal and of course it showed up the next day!. It looks great and am glad it arrived. No order confirmation email or shipping notice. Is this SOP for HpH or was I just skipped somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Just had to Google SOP, been a while since I've bought direct, but yes from previous experience, funny enough I received the conversation from Aviation Megastore in The Netherlands last week.

Piero Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi, what's the best 1/32nd KM-1 resin ejection seat on the market for the MiG-23BN? Another question, the color of the laser rangefinder glass... redish, blueish, greenish? CIAO! Piero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piero Not sure regards accuracy over any other releases, but due to the fact it has moulded seat belts, I'd go for the HAD version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
