1/72 Airfix Mig-29A with Model Maker Decals - Mig-29 in Polish service
Posted by Grant Dalzell on Wednesday, October 12, 2016 4:13 PM

I wish I bought the Trumpeter or Zvezda Mig-29 as the Airfix one is awful! One of the landing gear legs was missing from the kit, and the amount of flash on the parts! I thought it was a limited run kit from the 70's or something. And there are some awful fits throughout the build. Airfix did replace the landing gear leg though.

As for the colour scheme, I am not sure if it is right, the decal call outs were mixes of gunze and seemed bizarre, I have an Akan Mig-29 set and guesstimated the colour from Gunze to Akan. I could not find any reference photos of the aircraft with these markings.

If it is totally wrong, oh well, it still looks like a Mig-29 and looks OK in my collection.

With all the issues stated, you did a fantastic job on your build.  As you mentioned, as long as you're ok with the final product, it's all good!

I agree with Toshi.  With the plane looking like that youd never guess it had that much issues.  Beautiful!

That did turn out really well! Those markings are odd, but that paint is beautiful.
