Boeing 737, Alpha Jet and MiG-15/17 Updates

Brengun, 1/144 scale

Reviewed by Mark Davies

Each set comes in a cellophane bag stapled to a card header. The resin, PE and vac-formed parts are all of good quality, and only the MiG ladders have instructions. 

Most of the review images are from Brengun’s website. The general details of what each set provides are as follows:

BRL144096 – Boeing 737-300 (Minicraft)

The set does not have instructions, but they are hardly needed for wheels and undercarriage doors. And presumably, no guide to antennae placement is provided because this may vary for different aircraft (a definite case of check your references then). Produced to a high standard, the resin parts include numerous very small and fine blade antennae. The set should add interest and scale finesse to a finished model of the 727-300 in this tiny scale

BRL144097 – Alpha Jet Vacform Canopy (Revell)

The canopy is very well produced, and will enhance the Revell kit. It features a nicely moulded surrounding that should aid cutting out from its backing.

BRL1440998 – MiG-15/17 Ladder (two types)

This small set does include instructions to guide the placement of some very small parts and the shaping required. The few PE parts are very fine and delicate.

The ladders should add interest to an early MiG-15/17 vignette or diorama.

I am happy to recommend all of the sets reviewed here.

Thanks to Brengun Models for the review sample.
