Mortihead Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Let's start my favorite theme "MIGs in foreign service". Now Mig-29A "Fulcrum" from GWH. I bought a minimum of add-ons: First time buying 3D-decals from Quinta Studio. Cockpit: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Great start. The engines look excellent. I just bought my first set of Quinta decals for the ICM HueyCobra, they do look quite special even despite the eye-watering price 😲 The MiG-29 is one of my favourite shapes in the sky, looks like you're going to build a winner!

Thank You! It seemed to me that the cost of Quinta 3D decals is similar to the cost of color photo-etched cockpit of Eduard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Wow, where are you based? It's about double the cost for me in UK 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortihead Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Now: most hard stage of this build: decals! Usually, it takes me a 2 evenings to make decals: one evening for technical work, the second for marks. This time it took me 2 weeks of evenings to make the decals! I share my experience: do not immediately try to "weld" the part of the decals as the instructions suggest. This decal can be easily cut into small sections (2-3 strips) and welded one by one. There no special problems, the decals themselves turned out to be very good: they did not fall into pieces, were thin, had good strength After decals - varnish and "mud and weatering": 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Excellent work. From the photos it looks like you are putting decals onto a matt/semi surface. Or is it gloss? If it is not gloss how are you overcoming silvering of the decals? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
