paulsbrown Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Out of the box with the exception of the seat. Nicely detailed kit, great cockpit although the coaming around the instrument panel needs thinning. I used Akan's MiG-29SMT paint set but had to remix some colors as there are several schemes. There were 2 kinds of splinter camouflage, grayish and greenish versions. I went with the green version it took a lot of reference photos to get it right. 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koralik64 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 My favorite version of the MiG-29 with the Hump. Very nice model. I built two SMT but definitely more exploited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinSK Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Fantastic Mig-29! Great job on both! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Great job on the MiG-29SMT and the one in the background. This jet looks good in pretty much every colour scheme I have seen, with the possible exception of the early North Korean examples. You have done the GWH kits great justice with these brilliant builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 They both look brilliant, I must have a go at one sometime. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should mention that the MiG-29 Fulcrum C in the background is the Academy with the Neomega 9-14 conversion from years ago. The GWH and Academy sit well together as if they were by the same manufacturer whereas the new 1/48 Flankers joining my older Academy ones show some minor scale issues (length, intake, engine and canopy size differences).

exdraken Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Really great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) what seat did you use in the end? Aires? and the missiles, all kit? the "fins" of the R-77 look really good! last question, you say greenish version..... that is all very grey to me..... but there is a newer SMT batch (not the ex Algerian ones you have modelled I guess) that is mor or less in standard MiG-29 grey green... again, fantastic model! regarding the Academy one, I think the narrow intake makes quite a difference.... but else... ok Edited December 2, 2018 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat was a Neomega and the R-77s are kit supplied, not quite as good as the early Sol 'fins' but look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralik64 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 In fact, they were repainted and this caused confusion with the colors. I also fought with colors and made versions with a green shade. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 A great pair of Fulcrums. They're a real tribute to your painting skills. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I've heard that this kit is one of the best out there, but even if that is true you've displayed some stunning skills there to lift it even higher. I really don't know how you guys do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a spell I sometimes change the armament and weather a model I've left in a factory fresh look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
