MIG 29 FOD Covers

[Muzz]

I've seen at least one finished 1/48 MIG 29 on here with a full set of FOD covers over the main intakes, upper fuselage intakes and exhaust covers. I have just bought the Edaurd photo-etch FOD set thinking this covered the lot but you only get a pair of covers for the main intakes, can anyone tell me who does the full set?

Quickboost by Aires do resin exhaust cans with covers moulded over them. Hope this helps.

Here's the quickboost exhausts cast with covers: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/QB48465

And heres some intake FOD guards: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/QB48362

All for the Academy kit, not sure if there's anything for the GWH kit yet.

Cheers for that folks, will have to do some further enquiry into the Quickboost covers, they look like there meant for the main intakes as with the Eduard one's. Will def be having the exhaust cans though!

The standard (this is the basic set used on daily basis) ground set for the MiG-29 9-12 includes:

* the main intake covers (metal)

* secondary intake covers (completely closed)

* secondary intake covers (mesh construction for engine ground runs)

* engine exhaust covers (metal)

* KOLS cover,

* AOA covers,

* IFF cover

* custom designed wheel chocks,

* canopy cover (textile).

The main intake metal covers were replaced in unit use with a much simpler textile covers (on Hungarian a/c but also seen them on German planes), so there is no need to use the aftermarket version.

There is a more comprehensive set of FOD covers used for longer term storage of the aircraft including a full body textile protective cover (this is in case you want to use the old Academy kit and hide its mistakes!)
