Martin OostromFit looks okay-ish, except on the nose. The join will require some work. Overall not terrible, but definitely no shake and bake

Peter de BruinMe 7 🙂 especially since the ghost of Kyiv will have the same plastic.

Martin OostromI finally found some time and mojo. This is a kit from 2008 and it can be seen. Instructions are ancient style, fit is a work in progress.
If the ghost from Kyiv did exist, he deserves a better kit.

Łukasz GlińskiIsn't it the Chinese one? I liked it. 🙂
Or do you mean another scale? 😉

SpanjaardThis looks like lots of work ahead... but if someone is going to make it look nice no matter what, is you Martin!!

Martin OostromIt's a putty-fest Peter! And surprisingly for myself, after sanding it retained the general shape and feel of a Mig-29. So I put on more putty 😄

Martin OostromDoes anybody know what colour the wheel wells should be? Same as the wheels, some sort of forest green?
6 June 2022, 06:48
Peter de BruinI thought, although depending on nationality it differs, the wheel wells are light greyish, same as the bottom of the plane in many cases.
For a Russian variant I had Vallejo 71121 noted down for the bottom and wheel wells.

Kyle DeHartNice molding on your custom shaped kit here Martin. 😀 always liked the looks of the 29 and yours certainly looks like a 29. Well done!

Łukasz GlińskiNot sure which camo you're to pick, but it seems grey to me

Martin OostromThe instructions call out a combo of Fulcrum grey with Fulcrum grey/green. Whatever that may be.
So I guess it will be a grey/green camo.

Łukasz GlińskiI meant wheel wells and the landing gear 🙂
Still, love that grey-green classic Fulcrum camos 👍

Alec KLukasz: you mean the Trumperer release? I read mixed reviews. It's probably the best at this point though.
6 June 2022, 12:48
Łukasz GlińskiYup, it was a pleasure to build, though the open vents are there too (was there a kit with the closed option anywhere?)
Martin, sorry for this little OT 😉

Peter de BruinThe Zvezda kit has closed vents and has a good fit/2015 new tooling: MiG-29 (9-13) (Zvezda 7278, 1:72)

Martin OostromI don't mind off topic Łukasz.
I actually finished sanding and started painting two weeks ago. Forgot to post pictures.
The colours are… fantasy? I couldn't find Fulcrum grey and green and my regular shop, so I went with Tamiya ijn green and grey.
I call the effect "make-the-enemy-seasick-camo".

Łukasz GlińskiFor me the colours are fine, that camo used to fade very quickly anyway.
Thx for the hint Peter 👍

Martin OostromI have been decalling today. Unfortunately the decals were veeeeeeeeery fragile.

Martin OostromI'm only blaming myself. After taking the roundel picture, I put on two more on the lower wings. Tho whole ones.
For the love of everything dear to me, why didn't I just swap one?

Martin OostromAs it turns out, you can use Ammo enamel panel line wash over Tamiya lacquers without ruining your paint
