1/72 Mig-29 (Digital Fulcrum)

This is my Fujimi 1/72 Mig-29, painted the digital camo pattern using Tamiya tape and Hataka acrylics. 

Thanks for looking.

Hello Paul,
This is looking very convincing!
The digital camo is excellent, is this actually an autentic scheme? 

Thank you for sharing!
Very Best Regards
Johan

I don't know how you guys do this new Digital camoflauge from scratch.  This is absolutely amazing, great job!

Oh gee friggin' whiz that's amazing!!! 

Did you use graph paper masks or something else? In any case I don't think there's anyway to do these schemes without a massive pile of work. Yes

Thanks for the kind words guys.

 

Believe me, I just used half a mile of Tamiya tape which I drew a grid on it.

 

I was supposed to do the Slovakian camouflage pattern but my creative side took over and the markings is a ''what-if'' for Philiippine Airforce which I printed on clear decal paper.

I know that Fujimi's Fulcrum has many inaccuracies but I'm more in to the camouflage pattern, not on the accuracy of the model and it serve as a test bed for future digital camo models.

 

Here is the masking stage of the model.

First, let me start by saying, top notch...bad ass build!  And excellent photo skills and tricks!

 

Second, I was thinking about this type of paint job the other day...I'm not sure if anyone that builds aircraft has heard of it, but there is a product/technique haller hydrodip/hydrodipping,  and I am almost certain I saw a digital camo pattern available, and that would work spectacular for that....

Beautiful job on the camo; And that is insane masking to do it. I love digi camo but I don't think I have the patience to do the masking like you..I think they have pre-cut digi masking set available but expensive though.
