rudolf24 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Welcome in my first WiP on this forum ! I'm going to build this MiG-29 In this model i'm using some extras, here is the list of them. Eduard PE set (interrior) Eduard Exhaust for MiG-29 Pitot Tube from Master Correct Nose from Quickboost Masks from Eduard Some of my scratch (cables inside wheel bay, hand-made antenna IFF) Some parts from Eduard MiG-21PFM Decals from CaracalDecals and White Eagle And that will be all . Now photo. Here are exhaust from eduard And some Rockets with stencils from MiG-21 (I know they aren't 100% realistic, but they looks better with stencils) MiG-29 after mr.Surfacer 1000, now i see, i must fill some places. I hope you enjoy, i want to apologize for my english and photo's. I'm still learning ! Edited July 2, 2015 by rudolf24 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 nice start, or actually nice build! please try to stay away from the kit's R-60s... the R-73s are fine! If you want R-60s, try to find ones from Eduard MiG-21 kits, or frotm their resin line! just my opinion though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I have got this R-60, whether they will be good ? YES! they are perfect! if you compare the to the shorter ones from the Academy kit, you notice the big difference in shape and the mcuh too large front fins compared to the Eduard example!

I see it now ! . But i'm not sure those rockets will fit to academy pylons, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOMI21 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 exdraken is right. Academy's R-60 (or whatever they are) are worthless. Keep away from them! Eduard's R-60 are fine. Just remember that Academy's APU-60 and APU-73 are the same parts, So Eduard's rockets can look "undersized" with themKeep on good work! You have chosen one of the most colourful paintings that are used in Polish Air Force at the moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I see it now ! . But i'm not sure those rockets will fit to academy pylons, just use the eduard pylons (APU-60) part E29 and add the Academy pylons' upper part (some cutting and sanding necessary ) alternatively there is a pylon set from Karaya (ex FM) that inlcudes (if memory serves me right) APU-60 pylons for the R-60 or... use 4 R-73s! Eduard offers a very nice R-73 set with correct and detailed pylons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard offers a very nice R-73 set with correct and detailed pylons! I'm looking at the pylons from eduard, and i think that will be hard to get a nice pylon which by completed and fit to a model. Probably i'm go to buy resin R-73 They look so good, but i'm still thinking about Eduard R-60+academy pylons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudolf24 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Hello, sorry for post by post . Today i make preshading, first in my life.

rudolf24 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Today i painted the bottom of MiG-29 with C308. It looks good for me, in two place (you can see it on photos) paint go under masking tape and soil White color, fortunatley it's easy to repair it.

rudolf24 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Hello, recently I finish (finally ! ) the camofluge. I know there's are some mistakes but it looks good for me. The model is after a gloss coat. Today i was going to use a Decals from White Eagle. They are so horrible. They crumbled ;( (i think it isn'y my fault). Now i'm going to buy better decals from caracal ! I think i will get them at Tuesday or Wensday. I hope you enjoy.
