danimalmagic Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) 1/32 Trumpeter Mig-29KWell it has been a long time coming but she is done, I started this last summer but with commission work coming in at a steady rate I did not manage to get allot done. I finally got stuck back in to it a couple of weeks ago.The only additional parts for the kit where the Aires burners, very nice they are too. Not entirely sure if the internal depth of the flame holder is correct but much better than the standard kit ones.I did buy an AIRES quick boost seat but it is too wide for the kit tub and not just by a little bit.I also added a set of intake covers and burner covers, the intakes on the kit have an internal FOB mesh, the kit representation was pretty grim so I decided the best option was to cover them, I suspect I will leave the burner covers off.As always the airbrake is up, probably would not be but whats the harm in a bit of modelling whimsy. More to come Danny Edited February 1, 2014 by danimalmagic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimalmagic Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) As she is a carrier Aircraft I wanted to make it with the wings up, the wing fold on the kit is grim but I really struggled to find any useful images of it so I could scratch some improvements. They are only very lightly glued in place so if one day a nice resin set appears I can always change it out.Wings Folded Still a bit more to go.

danimalmagic Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) I did a fair bit of research for the load out and configured her in an anti ship role with a couple of short and medium range air to air missiles. The two external tanks may be a presumption to far but I found a few images of MIG-29K models with them. As fleet defenders I would imagine range would be important just not too sure if the ordnance as well makes her too heavy.The Green is a base coat of Tamiya XF-65 with a post shading filter made with a few drops of white and thinned.The Grey is a base coat of Tamiya XF-19 with a post shading filter made with a few drops of white and thinned.A dark wash was applied to all the panel lines etc, my camera work really does not show it up to well. All the cam airbrushing done freehand and I am very happy with this, getting better every time i do it.I will leave the decals and the basic instructions alone, I suspect someone has already covered this long ago. Besides all my Trumpeter kits seem to be much the same making reference material essential to say the least.Time to add another Shelf. No to sure what the next build will be, I have a bit of time so I may well attack some of my 1/9 Superbike kits.Thanks for looking.

Guest Peterpools Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Danny Tremendous work on the Mig. Fit and finish is simply outstanding - she looks all business and the cammo is absolutely perfect. Congrats on needing a new shelf - what a gorgeous collection :thumbsup: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danimalmagic Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 . . . and the wings fold and everything! Very nice. Sincerely, Mark A real pity that the kit wing fold is so poor but there are no resin options and very few usable images for scratchbuilding.
