Popular Post Zola25 Posted June 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hi All This is the 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-29C built as a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29S (9-13). It is loaded for a CAS mission inspired by a photograph I found online. It is impossible not to feel the impact of a war in Europe, in what feels like my own backyard - and like so many on these forums I also felt the urge to show my support. I tried to incorporate as much aftermarket stuff produced in Ukraine as I could. The Rocket Pods and Wheels are from ResKit. The paint masks are both from Foxbot and DN Models. The seat is from Quickboost and the pitot tube to replace the telegraph pole included in the kit is from Master. The exhausts are from Zacto model. The decals are a story of their own - I screwed up the first paintjob using the Foxbot masks I already had so I had to start over While waiting for the brand new released masking set to arrive from DN Models, Foxbot also announced a brand new set of decals for a digital camo MiG-29. I wrote Oleg from Foxbot if I could somehow get a set and he happily sent me one straight from Kyiv in the middle of an active warzone. That kinda makes this model special for me.. I painted the model entirely using paints from MRP - the second time also in the right order . Below in order from Dark to Light: MRP-034 Tank Grey (MRP-405 seems to be too light for the MiG-29) MRP-403 Grey MRP-402 Light Grey MRP-246 Light Arctic Grey The underside is painted with MRP 405 Blue Grey Hope you like it Niels Click the images and they will open in a larger version Alex, chuck540z3, LSP_Matt and 68 others 71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Driver Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I will not try to hide my excitement in regards to the results of the masking this camo out, but surprisingly my favorite part of this kit is the canopy. For whatever freakin' reason, this seems so realistic to me! Everything else is great, it is fantastic. However this canopy is a fetish of mine On the funny side - only a Soviet air superiority jet can be used with unguided rockets for ...air superiority. You know - Russians...

I am honestly not much of a WIP guy but maybe a future build. The base was pre-made and I picked it up online at the Aviation Megastore in Amsterdam. 29 minutes ago, Kagemusha said: Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing.
