MiG-19PM, 1/72 - Clear Prop Models CP72057

The MiG-19PM at 1/72 Clear Prop Models CP72057 is a plastic model kit to be assembled, depicting the MiG-19PM interception version. This reference reproduces a Soviet jet aircraft from the Cold War era, in a compact scale appreciated for military aviation collections and 1/72 dioramas.

The MiG-19PM belongs to the MiG-19 family of supersonic fighters developed in the Soviet Union. This variant was intended for interception missions and is distinguished by its radar equipment as well as guided air-to-air armament. The subject allows you to represent several European air forces that used this aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s.

The Clear Prop Models CP72057 model kit

This Advanced Kit includes 180 plastic parts spread across ten sprues, including one clear sprue, as well as 21 photo-etched parts. Two decal sheets and a full-color assembly instruction booklet are also included.

Once assembled, the model measures 183 mm in length with a 126 mm wingspan. At 1/72 scale, each dimension of the real aircraft is reduced by a factor of 72, allowing for a detailed representation while limiting display space.

Suggested liveries

The decals make it possible to create seven different liveries corresponding to MiG-19PM aircraft from various air forces:

• MiG-19PM no. 905 of the Polish Air Force, 1964;
• MiG-19PM no. 36 of the Soviet Air Force, 1960s;
• MiG-19PM no. 11 of the Soviet Air Force, preserved at the Monino museum;
• MiG-19PM carrying the numbers 1043, 0943 or 1102 of the Czechoslovak Air Force, late 1960;
• MiG-19PM no. 391 of the Jagdfliegergeschwader 3 « Wladimir Komarow », based in Preschen in 1962;
• MiG-19PM no. 927 of the Bulgarian Air Force, 1959;
• MiG-19PM no. 33 of the Hungarian Air Force, 1960s.

Assembly and finishing

The presence of photo-etch and the level of detail of this reference make it suited to careful assembly. Preparing the parts, using glue suitable for plastic model kits, and carefully working on the small components will help achieve a crisp finish. Primer generally makes painting easier, while a glossy surface before applying decals helps limit the risk of marks around the markings.

The various included liveries offer multiple finishing possibilities around the markings of the Eastern Bloc air forces. Light weathering can complement the presentation of an operational interceptor, depending on the chosen decoration.
