Hello Kevin, I'll resume my MiG-29K maybe in Summer. Can you please move the Thread to normal WIP? Or should I open new Thread there? Chears

After putty and sandpaper party, I was happy to build next parts. But I got new problems immediately... Size of the part is very strange. Too small?? Here is not bad, OK. Like a ground crack. 1mm width. Putty don't work on this area, so I must use the plasicsheet. But first I'll do a little break because this thing has discouraged me... Cheers, Hiroto

And little update: The nose section with plastic sheet adjusted. But I must still puttying and sanding... It looks without any puttying already spectacular. Homework with putty is horrible. I shouldn't have fumble there... Sally I don't like Green Putty. So I used superglue + baby powder putty. Standard mixing ratio is 1:1. It works with old superglue perfectly, because It does not dry quickly (over few hours) and air bubbles in putty go well away. It means but also, that you should not use superglue activator. #400 Sandpaper works enough for superglue + babypowder putty. Without hustle you can sanding down it cleanly.

So... Some progress! Engraving on this aria was horrible. I would like to gave up. Cockpit builded and brushed. For litte tiny switches I used Tamiya Enamel Color as usual. Sanding down or puttying the material for better surface adjustment between the wing and airplane body. Trumpeter maybe didn't worry about thickness of screw head.

Well, it turns out, it will be not 100% OOB... I modified gun muzzle area with plastic sheets. Trumpeter mold sucks! Because I saw this pic... https://www.flickr.com/photos/avgeekjoe/7189181593/

Hi, I was almost for 3 weeks very busy... So, I'd like you to say "Hello gain!" and give you a little update. Panel line & rivet details were quite soft and surface was rough. Again, engraved and sanded for long time... Regards

Looks great!

Thanks Jack! I Your comment was good for me Either little update... Drop Tank is almost ready for paint. Regards, Hiroto

Thanks @John! @Ryan Very impressed I'm not sure, that I can build like that, but I'll do my best as greenhorn

@andromeda. Let me see... I need more concentration and motivation for scale model building, but I don't have yet. Glueing the missiles and pylons gone therefore not good. Glue stains on R-73 and R-27... @Ryan Yeah, I also don't like a kit's seat. Pitot tube and static discharger unfortunately too. Though OOB I should replace them. I'm planing to use a QuickBoost's seat and the Master Model's tubes.

Mmmmhhh, very tight...

Awesome paint job!

Cheers, Hiroto

Thanks guys!!! @andromeda I thought, I can build the wings folded as default without scratch building, but it turns out, that it allows only in stretched position. Because it's OOB, I will build it stretched

Hello, little Updates, including Missiles. That's it Quite difficult to match my motivation with my free time. It will be looooooooong work. I'm still engraving pylons. It takes a long time, but pretty effective. Missiles airbrushed. Waiting for filtering and decal process. I'm using Tamiya's Enamel Brown for filtering. Masking work was a bit tricky. Little bit stinky, but Mr. Color GX Series have great pigment, opacity and durability. White on black is no problem. Almost done! They only need to be sealed with Mr. Color Super Clear semi gloss (gloss for metal section)... Cheers, Hiroto
