hrtsgs Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys! I'm from Japan and living in Germany. I would like to introduce my new project to you! It is my 3rd LSP-Project already (1st: Kinetic/Italeri F-86, 2nd: Hasegawa/Revell P-3C), but I'm very impressed from this box size. So huge! And too many sprues... It blows me off. Because I have not many experience with big scale models (I'm building normally 1/48 scale jets) and don't never want hustle for any accuracy correction, it will simply out of box. But I have no idea for weapons. Any suggestions?? Thank you for reading my topic! But sorry about my terrible english...

andromeda673 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 welcome to the boards, and to this group build, if you get online and do some searching you will find a pretty large spread for weapons for your mig 29, I believe that trumpeter or hasegawa makes a weapon set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I may be wrong, but I think both of the decal options in this kit are for the company demonstrator and or test aircraft. So if you loaded it up with weapons it wouldn't be terrible. The kit is in the to do pile in the model shack, i'm going with the dark grey scheme with wings folded with a full load of weapons. Andromeda is right just look it up online and you can copy the images as far as weapon loads. (I think it already comes with a large weapons assortment in the kit though) Signed up!

hrtsgs Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks guys! @andromeda673 Weapon arrangement may unrealistic, but I know after light Googling, which weapons I'll be build. @Ryan Yes, I think only two MiG-29K test airframe are there. The history of MiG-29M and MiG-29K is quite complicated (and I don't know all)... I'll build light grey + green scheme with folded wings.

Ryan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Excellent, I look forward to seeing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 can't wait to see this one come together, thats the cool thing with weapons, you can load out a plane the way you want too, and or what you find, there were so many variations out there.

hrtsgs Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hello! I'm maybe slower than Captain Slow... Too many missiles for me! Because panel lines are very softly detailed, I engraved all of them. Fitting of KH-31P is pretty bad. Both (L1 and L2) Parts have different width. But oder missiles are fine. Pylons are still in assembling... Hier are rudderparts. I sanded the back sides down for clean glueing. Photo etched part was too glossy, so I sanded it rough. I need less putty. Yippee!

Martinnfb Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Great start Hiroto, I will follow with interest. Cheers. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 looking good, my personal experience with trumpeter kits has been less then stellar, I applaud you for tackling this build! I always find the styrene to be really brittle or too soft, there's no middle of the road with it. Although my trumpeter kits were sub $30 and all armor, so maybe their aircraft kits are different?

hrtsgs Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 @andromeda I think not different than armor. As you wrote, it is brittle AND soft. Not comparable with Hasegawa/Tamiya quality. @BradG I have no idea, where I will display it... @Martinnfb Thanks a lot for you great photo posting!! Specially rare photo from instrument panels. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtsgs Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) 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)...
