J-Hulk's MiG-29 (pic)

Thanks for all the motivational positive feedback!

Blue 2, if I remember correctly, that model was about 26cn long with a 20cm wingspan. Somewhere around there.

Frank, did you pick up a new "29?"

Yup, it's fun building all kinds of stuff! MiGs, Shermans, Godzillas, Sox & Martin pro stock Hemi Cudas, you name it!

J-Hulk I like it a lot! That brushed on paint looks amazing! I like the chilli bowl it looks like it's a static display in a memorial garden or something like that. Hope to see more of your old stuff... and wouldn't mind seeing you do a "wingy thingy" for a change now... I know I've been contemplating doing a Sherman or something tracked like that... shhh... don't tell anyone though.

Brian keep the old stuff coming Very nice work JOHN

Very nice MIG J-Hulk!she sure is a beauty.
ditto to what pix said impressive for brush work camo
or otherwise.

J-Hulk, when I asked for the dimentions, all that I wanted was "about" the dimentions for the model in cementers. Thanks again in advance.

Handsome 29 I've got three of the Mig series in 1/72 waiting. If any of them turn out half that well, I'll be very happy.

Hey Brian,

Great looking Mig you got there! I lost my "29" in our last move and haven't replaced it yet, nothing of that caliber though, thanks! (now I'm off to Hobby Lobby)

Take care,
Frank

Thanks, ya'll!

Blue 2, I think the main color was simply Testor's Model Master Light Gray in the spray can, if there is such a beast. The darker gray might be plain ol' Testor's Flat Gray in the bottle.
Are you asking about the dimensions of the model or the real aircraft? That model's in storage back in the States (I live in Japan), and I don't have any Fulcrum references handy, so I can't help you out with either right now!

Wade, you're right, I'm my worst critic! Even 14 years after the build, I'm still finding problems with it.
Actually, at the time, I thought it was perfect. Funny, that!

Good philosophy, Pix. It does indeed look like a MiG-29, and I shall enjoy it as such!
As for brushing the camo, I found that with a little weathering and a stout flat overcoat, brush marks completely disappear. Couldn't avoid hard demarkation lines, though.

I have yet to use an airbrush on an aircraft...I hope what I have learned ABing armor is transferrable to AC!
We shall see...
I have a few more old aircraft I'll post for your perusal!

Even though I'm no modern aircraft fan, I like the camo. The fact that you used a brush is most impressive. I also don't look for what's "wrong" with a kit. If it looks like the real thing, as yours does, I'm happy !

Welcome to the "side of the light," Brian. Your fine work certainly earns you a place in the aircraft forum. Keep posting pics of your planes ! I'm interested to see what else you have !

Looks awfully nice to me Brian.

Once again, very nice work Brian. I didn't notice the poor fit on the srabilizers until you mentioned it, you are your hardest critic Brian! I wouldn't be able to pick any inaccuracies either, I'm new to the world of plane modeling and have much to learn.

I think it IS COOL!!!
Hay, if you find out what colors they are could you tell me, also ould you tell me the lenght and wing spand of the Mig. "Thanks in advance".

I'm not an expert, but it likes like a Mig29 to me, and that's good enough.

'What do you mean this is the finescale forum?'

Shoot, in 1990, I was getting ready to go to the Persian Gulf (which I eventually did), and wasn't even thinking about models. Good-looking paint job on it. By the way, I've tried to send you an e-mail via FSM's e-mail address for you, but I haven't received any replies. I have the C-130J picture for you, and just need an e-mail address to send it to. Just let me know where to send it via the e-mail address below. Look forward to hearing from you!!

Howdy, Gary!
I think that large black radome was actually a Kroger's chili bowl...maybe!

You didn't get my replies? I answered at least two! I'm looking forward to seeing that J! I'll click on your signature and see what I get. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words concerning my ol' MiG, folks.
Did ya'll notice the terrible fit between the fuselage and vertical stabilizers? I just did!
Funny what seeing your pix on the net will reveal!

This was the 1/48 Monogram kit, which I've heard is not very accurate. Can anyone shed any light on what in particular is wrong with this kit?

Looks good from over here, Brian! Nice to see some more of your 'oldies'.. Keep them comin'

Hey J-hulk,

Very nice Fulcrum you have there. Like the paint scheme, nice clean build.

Darren.

Hey, Hulk,

What's that big black thing under it? A new IR pod? Neutron Bomb? Ashtray? Heeheeheehee!!!
