MiG-19 S Farmer C, 1/48 - Trumpeter 02803

Planned release in September 2026.

The reference 02803 from Trumpeter offers an assembly model kit of the MiG-19S Farmer C in 1/48. This Soviet Cold War jet fighter is reproduced at a scale highly appreciated by aviation modelers, providing a good balance between display presence and finishing possibilities.

The Mikoyan-Gourevitch MiG-19, known by the NATO codename “Farmer,” belongs to the first generation of Soviet supersonic fighters. The MiG-19S corresponds to an armed-cannons fighter version, developed during the 1950s. Its distinctive silhouette—featuring swept wings and frontal air intakes—makes it an iconic subject for a collection dedicated to Soviet military aviation and the Cold War era.

At a scale of 1/48, each dimension of the real aircraft is reduced by a factor of 48. Building an aviation model allows you to work through the classic steps of static modeling: preparing the parts, gluing, seam finishing, applying a primer, painting, adding decals, and then weathering according to the desired effect.

To carry the project through successfully, it is generally useful to plan for glue suitable for model kits, fine cutting and sanding tools, as well as the paints needed for the chosen decoration. A careful application of primer makes it easier to spot any joining defects before painting.
