The progress on my MIG is going okay nearly at the painting stage faster than I thought I would be. Have not decided on the Air Force I will use though, the tails have been glued the tape is holding the parts shut and the tail wings too. It's not the best looking MIG that's for sure but it's one I have not got so it's welcome in my collection. As you can see I removed the flaps and leading edge flaps to position them down to add interest to the kit as for a 1/32 scale kit it is more like a giant 1/48 where parts count and detail is concerned, although you do get two complete engines that have significant detail but a poorly detailed cockpit a bit odd, that's why I had to scratch build much of the cockpit. I will get hold of the other camera again that I used for other pictures as the build progresses, but as for now these will do as there is not much difference between the last pictures I sent and these. Also if anyone knows of any cool MIG 29 paint schemes from the 80's let me know as I have Polish, Czech, Romanian, Bulgarian, East German, Russian, and Luftwaffe decals in my spares box and I imagine the stencils were relatively the same if not language then at least in position and number though I'm probably wrong about that. But if you see any unusual or just great paint schemes give me a shout I'd appreciate it.

That's really great detail in the scratch building, are you going to make the kitchen for the Fullback?

So i am nearly finished. I used a couple of AIM9s from my spares box as Atolls since I didn't like the kits provided missiles. Since the Atolls have longer seeker heads, I exchanged them by cutting off the Sidewinders heads and replacing them. Convincing enough I think.

No kitchen Dean.. i think is a legend :D on the back, after the entrance door is full of avionics/weapons machinery .

Manny, both kits was low and wrong about cockpits details

the mig-31 also had decals for instruments but was out of dimension for the pieces to place on, ejection seats in a single piece Sad

the 34 had at the end acceptable ejection seats but wrong all the remaining pieces, back bulkheads too wrong.. so i brought six k-36 from pavla and resolved (a two seater mig-29  i have too in the stash) the ejection seats.. for the rest resolved with evergreen stuffs Big Smile gears need only some adjust

here some update

mig-31

the remaining details on inner fuselage

primed and added rudder pedals .. i forget to put before Embarrassed

the su-34, macro pictures shows some needed refine work! cloches are from the kit with some extra detail

I found a picture of the option that you get OOB I was initially going to ignore this until I saw just how badly weathered the paint is so this is what I will do the kit with OOB as it certainley looks like it can be an interesting scheme, not the paint but the damage that,s been done, I will be trying to highlight panel lines until Christmas for gods sake!
