Hey everyone,

Here's my startup and my frist "Bou Bou"...... 

 

First, I'd like to thank's FlorinM, blackbetty and Madmax to ease my built.....

I'm going true your WIP constantly to help me make my next move, avoiding problems..... not that I make a lot  :innocent:.

but your comments and suggestion are always welcome, just keep in mind that my mojo is always"Quick and Easy".

 

And the first mod I did with my Buddy André(Dora) based on FlorinM's built, was to make a copy of the Trumpy Mig-29 nose cone...

To found out a few days later that Quickboost was offering a correct one for the Trumpy kit...:BANGHEAD2:

Anyway, then move on the pit,  painting was straight forward, detailling and wash, will do some dry brushing later...

tried a little dry fit.....

And BANG! went too heavy on the shaving the fuselage ..... :doh: my first gap to fill.

Will try not to duplicate hey...? 

next will finish the IP, final touch on the pit and will do the nose wheel bay.

 

Hope you like it and have fun.

Dan.

Dang it's hard to keep secret these day's....:fight:

was going for another Russian plane for sure and didn't made up my mind yet between a Sukhoi and a Mig-29A

 

An Agolian Sukhoi.....

Or maybe that one..... in basic colors

Résultats de recherche d'images pour « SU-27UB RF92199 »But would had prefer that beast, Su-30 603, too bad I only have the UB kit....

don't know if the only noticable difference between both are the center sight and the IP...?

And for the Mig-29, this nice Slovakian Tiger meet....

Since I don't like being down bottom :tumble: here's a quick update....

first, did repaired my heavy shaving, there's nothing a little styrene can't fix.....

will seal all gap with putty later.

The  Trumpy Mig-29 nose fit like a charm ..... '' The Florin 13 way ''..:coolio:

Most propbably going to put some weight in that nose, just in case....

And move on the Aires main wheel bay, very easy to fit.

But can't say the same for the nose bay...... oh boy :doh: again, more styrene.....

Some work on the intake, '' The Zacto way ''  :bow:, was done in 30 min. and it looks way better.

With some Tamiya putty, it'll be just perfect.

Sometime I can put together or dismental 6 to 10 times before gluing parts,

but on this piece of the fuselage, dang I'm amaze by the fit of that tongue and groove.

Always a perfect fit.

Hope you like it and see you soon for more, thanks for watching.

god damn i love 23s ! 

 

the resin is really a must buy for this kit . it really makes it awesome and rewards time spent painting it .

 

and you dont need much weight in the nose since the intakes , pit etc are quite heavy .
