Aigore Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Now for something entirely different.... A passion of mine is painting camouflage preferably freehand and desert schemes in particular This paintjob was challenging, mostly because the vertical stabs had to be mounted and could not be painted separate. It is an almost entirely OOB build besides of the pitot tube, if there is ONE thing I will add to a build it is a metal pitot tube The G.W.H Fulcrum was a very nicely detailed and crisp kit though some assembly solutions were a bit unnecessarily challenging, like the engine nacelles....take good care when putting those together, I needed lots of putty (not necessarily the kits fault, I have a tendency to burn through putty at a rate :/) this particular Fulcrum is painted in the colors of the Uzbeki airforce....looks kind of like a gown my mom had in the 70's :P....and not entirely unlike as if the whole aircraft was covered in sick Cheers! 68 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fun part of building a jet with many users is to find those intriguing schemes, it is the same thing with the F-16.... I don't think I've ever done a "vanilla" F-16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the colors of this Uzbek MiG-29 really have a certain resemblance to the colors on the national woman Uzbek costume: 😉😁 which, however, does not apply to the fact that you made a really good model of this MiG-29!
