Hello,

I consider the shape around the cockpit not too bad. See enclosed pic of the Mig-29 OVT. The red trim around the canopy only extends slightly and reguraly to the airframe, so it depicts the canopy shape quite well.

Nice pic anyway .

Thanks.

Why they open always the aux intakes ? :(

My guess: because the designer doesn't "understand the aircraft" (I'm ok with this) and that his management doesn't think it worth caring for such things (I'm less ok with this).

Some enterprising AM company ought to do a resin cover for the upper LERX intakes - they are common on most parked MiG-29's....

I suppose the biggest problem would be getting a resin part to fit on the curved top surface of the LERX - every kit shape is different - and even fewer are correct.....

Still, if the kit producer included it.......... it would kill two birds with one stone.

PS - Note the subtle shape of the front fuselage - the cockpit sides are vertical, there is a distinct small-radius 'crease' where the cockpit side meets the LERX and the LERX has a blunt rounded edge - except for the last 12 inches, where there is a very sharp lip.

They're relatively easy to scratchbuild, though as you suggest the accuracy of the model determines if the covers "sit" correctly. Here's my effort for Italeri's MiG-29. As you can see they don't sit quite as horizontal as they should.

Kit numbers are 72901 and 72903.

Mistake ?

Same ?

Different ? One without one with adfitional resin parts.

 

Edit: Ah, I saw, they simply change kit number.

72901 is ukrainian MiG-29S in pixel scheme.
