Learstang Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Brilliant work on this Fulcrum! The Russians do have some nice 'air-superiority' schemes for their fighters (I realise this is Burmese/Myanmaran(?) but they used the Russian/Soviet scheme).

Reini78 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Sometimes a modeler is his own worst enemy..... My dad thought from the beginning that the spine of the model looks a bit too round but he and me thought it was because of the angle we looked at it. Yesterday he did the stencils and today he wanted to start with the main markings. There he realized the fuselage side area after the cockpit was missing some bulges. Then I looked closer into the 9-12 and 9-13 versions and had to find out that GWH accidentally packed a 9-13 upper fuselage half instead of a 9-12 in the box. For those who don´t know the GWH MiG-29 kits, the upper fuselage half is packed in an extra box in the box. Don´t know what happens with the model, shelf of doom, trashcan, or sanding/removing the decals from the upper side, washing off the paint and/or repainting..in the latter case maybe do a Turkemenistan or Azerbaijan 9-13 in blueish tri-color camo....

Reini78 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Intended to be RFI in the coming days, but now (hopefully) a final setback... My dad attached the canopy with Micro Klear to paint it together with the rest, now he demasked it and saw that paintspray got on the inner canopy side...wanted to remove it.....crack Luckily we have another GWH MiG-29 in our stash for a replacement canopy at the moment now. Try to get a new one from GWH for the second kit in the future. The rest is more or less finished 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
