Silenoz Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 You can look in the PDF's on the shelfoddity site (https://shelfoddity.com/1-144-Missiles/air-to-air?product_id=62) these are rather detailed. Or you can visit scalemates, and download the PDF from one of the Great Wall Kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Last few days have been a bit light on the modelling front but I've done few more bits. Mainly cleaning up the seams and blending in the nose on to the fuselage. Aux air intakes have been filled with plastic card and the centreline drop tank got the hole for the APU added, I need to add the braces at the rear yet. Burner cans have been cleaned up but I'm thinking of some AM parts for this area, they are somewhat simplified in the kit and are very basic. Reskit are releasing a resin set just for this kit so I might wait for those to come in. Enjoy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 A couple of extras to bring the kit up a little, Open Airbrake - Aires for the Italeri kit, should fit? Closed airbrake has been removed from the fuselage with a Hasegawa PE razor saw. Needs more cleaning up yet so only the first pass at it. And the full stencil decal sheet, just to add a bit more detail. Enjoy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Very impressive progress so far! I will follow this build with great interest. Serkan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Cheers chaps, First bits of Eduard PE going in, these were recessed as not to sit proud on the surface, again the PE set was made for the Italeri kit. Micro chisel used to remove the material, some small filling with Mr dissolved putty. Enjoy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Been away for a few days with my Dad so not much work on the Mig, Did manage to get the vert tails in and filled and modified the horizontal tails to show a bit of deflection. Also picked up a couple of goodies No self-respecting Ukrainian Mig 29 would be seen without the 2022 latest fashion - The AGM-88 HARM Enjoy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 A few more bits done mainly on the HARM installation; a few pictures have come out now showing the integration of the system on the Ukrainian Migs, LAU-118 pylon adapter onto what looks like the wing mounted drop tank pylons. Kit part chopped and modified. We almost have a Mig-29 Wild Weiselski Eduard Brassin AGM-88 built. Adding the bracing for the rear of the CL drop tank, very simplified.

Dads203 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Brassin weapons complete, The AA-11 Archers were a nightmare to get together just so you know, the forward fins are PE and are about the same thickness as a fag paper. One slight bend and they will not fit into the slots on the missile nose. Brassin Pylons are very nice and came with the missiles, they have had some plastic pins added for ease of fit later. Resin aux intakes added to the underside Enjoy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Some of the smaller details now going on, I think it's an ECM/ESM antenna on the tail, from the Eduard PE set. The Master Pitot fitted along with the fillets, again much fun had in getting these bits attached. Primer soon I think, Still need to sort out the HUD, seat and polish up the canopy.

Dads203 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 One more job that I wasn't looking forward to doing, the PE HUD frame. You need to thin down the base a little on the kit part but it fits well under the forward canopy. Now to fit the glass part - Thanks for all the likes and comments 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Looks great, but fiddly... wasn't it better to wait till the front canopy will be placed to avoid accidental damage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 All these tiny details have great result on the aircraft. Great progress so far. Serkan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Cheers Guys. Just sorting out the canopy, removed a bit more material to make it all fit better, Reskit exhausts ordered so should be here this week. Canopy will get a good polishing up with the Tamiya compounds once they get fitted. Panting mask set Enjoy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
