Main missile body colour is white for all the supplied missiles Rick, I would check though things like the seeker heads, they would be different.

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.

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.

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.

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 :thumbsup:

 

No self-respecting Ukrainian Mig 29 would be seen without the 2022 latest fashion - The AGM-88 HARM

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 :whistle:

Adding the bracing for the rear of the CL drop tank, very simplified.

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.

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.

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 :o - :frantic:

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.
