LanceR21 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) A friend of mine gave me this kit in very poor condition, painted in Strizi camouflage. Parts were all glued badly, also painted... so I decided to restore this kit. First, I disassemble whole kit and put it all together again, paying attention to joints and panel lines. Few weeks of work to get this MiG to the painting process... colors are Humbrol and Mr. Color, decals from the box and aftermarket, mix of both... Hope you like it!

Navy Bird Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Very nice indeed, especially considering that this was a restoration! Did you add any aftermarket parts, or is this OOB? How do you think this compares with other MiG 29 kits on the market? Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPaul Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Always loved the Mig-29, and that is brilliant! As others have said, the photography is just as good as the model, amd makes it look very moody and menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceR21 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks guys! Very nice indeed, especially considering that this was a restoration! Did you add any aftermarket parts, or is this OOB? How do you think this compares with other MiG 29 kits on the market?Cheers,Bill I add only resin cockpit and seat, I think it's copy of Aires or so... Well in my opinion, this is by far the best 9-13 on the market, currently ( better than Condor of course )... we can expect 9-12 from Airfix, hoping it's a new tool... but the old one is good to, I need to find that kit! i recommend this ICM kit, it's nice and fun to build...
