The MiG-19S was the
second version of this plane. Many people say that this plane is in fact the
best fighter ever built. The history of this transonic fighter starts in the
1950s, and did not end yet!!!!! The VVS does not flow many of them, but the
Chinese air force had and have a big number of the J-6 in service, and developed
this fighter to an excellent ground attacker, called A-5 and A-5 II (the
A-5 is one of my next projects, from Trumpeter in 1/32!!).
This is my second
MiG-19 S in 1/48...I also built the Trumpeter kit. The quality of the Trumpeter
kit is in fact much better than the HPM-kit, but it was more fun to
built the HPM-kit. The Trumpeter-kit I built straight out of the box, but the
HPM-kit has to be modified: so I built the air intake new, I cut the flouwer-flaps
to show them in working position, the guns needs a special treatment, the nozzles were
not in the correct shape, the wheel bay also needs some treatment and I did
some modifications in the cockpit.
