vppelt68 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I'm not signing in - this GB doesn't even need it anymore - at least yet. 2017 looks to be a very very good year for modern military plane ✈ STGB:s. Right, no more avoiding the inevitable - count me in too. Will have to build Zvezdas magnificent pair of Fulcrum and Flanker. EDIT: You see, I´m almost ready to start! All I need is a kit...

MiGFan79 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looking to join this one with a GWH 1/48 effort, livery TBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Think I can squeeze this one in. Will be an Academy "A" in 1/48, not sure which scheme yet though. Craig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I picked up some Malaysian MiG-29 decals in Kuala Lumpur and this might give me the impetus to use them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I need some guidance with Fulcrum versions. I have a Trumpeter Fulcrum A Izdeliye 9.12 kit. Is that an early version? How about the Mig-29SMT Izdeliye 9.19? Is that a modern version? It has a very bizarre forward fuselage which I like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Enzo The SMT 9.19 is a more modern development with extended range and updated avionics as well as better air to ground capability. The 9.12 is the original incarnation and there is early and late types, other than inside the cockpit I believe the only main distinguishing feature is the early version had two stabilising fins protruding down the outside of the engine just underneath the rear tailplanes. Later 9.12 versions don't have these. I bought the GWH Mig-29 early version and built as a late by simply omitting these fins. From looking at the box art and colour scheme options for the Trumpeter 9.12 Izdeliye kit it's the late version without the fins. Muzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thanks Muzz. That's very helpful. I wan't aware of the ventral fins on the early versions. I have now found a picture of them. I don't think there will be a problem knocking them up from plastic card. So I'll be building two for this GB: a very early Mig-29 "Fulcrum A" and a later Mig-29SMT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 This sounds like fun - I think I'll tackle the unbuildable and irrelevant Airfix 1:72 scale kit. So what if the wings are wrong, at least it has recessed panel lines. Plus, it's just sitting there in my stash looking at me every day. Geeeshhhh. It's like the Tell-Tale heart, beating away and slowing driving me out of my mind until one day I crack, tear open the box, sniff the styrene and collapse in a Mr. Color induced stupor.

And I have the Hobbyboss single-seater........ is there a good two seater around as the decals cover them as well? A question for the 29 experts of which I am not one.

PhantomBigStu Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Having just watched a doc on the mig29, which of the 1/72 kits should I go for if I want to build a in flight mig29 or do they all have the louveres/intake doors for on the ground config?

trickyrich Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I know it's a no.....but I sooo want to build a MiG-29SMT in a Kiwi scheme!!! Maybe I can do it at the same time as the Slovak Digital one....sort of sneak it in!!! I meant "photo-bombing" is all the rage these days with these young hipster types!!

At the moment, there are only two -29 kits that have the options to do close louvres/open intake doors - the Fujimi 9-12 and the new Zvezda 9-13. The Zvezda kit has a stand too, I believe. Unfortunately, Fujimi also botched the dimensions on the kit so it builds up nicely, but if you want something that really captures that sleek look, Zvezda is the way to go.

Well, I've tried, with not very good results. The problem is that it looks like I tried to fill it with putty. You can fill it and scribe the lines, though it requires a fair amount of precision. I did just remember, though that Attack Squadron (attacksquadron.pl) makes the closed louvres in resin, and the Italeri set comes with the nose correction too: http://www.armahobby.com/mig-29a-radome-and-closed-upper-jet-intakes-set-for-italeri.html Here's the Trumpeter set: http://www.armahobby.com/mig-29a-closed-upper-jet-intakes-set-for-trumpeter.html And there's the PTB-1500 tank: http://www.armahobby.com/mig-29-ptb-1500-fuel-tank-for-italeri.html Nozzles for the Italeri job: http://www.armahobby.com/mig-29-engine-nozzles-set.html And ooooooh! Bits for the Polish upgrade. Totally getting a set of those: http://www.armahobby.com/mig-29-engine-nozzles-set.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Taking into account the phase of the Moon and current GB calendar I realized that I could not co-host three GBs at the same time. Said that I withdraw myself from co-hosting of this STGB. Sigh ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, thats good to hear, was leaning towards the Zvezda over the trumpy kit anyway now to see if i can get by with that without forking out for the akan paint Edited January 20, 2017 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Being a newcomer to jets, is there a how-to guide about the Serbian Fulcrum the Dutch F-16 shot down in Kosovo '99? I still have a chance to do a "they also served GB Duel" in these two STGB:s if I find enough information about the MiG, the Falcon is pretty well covered. Help?
